[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1028148, member: 99014"] That’s because they are generous and their free package includes everything that most users need - many paid products (such as Malwarebytes for example) will charge users for a slightly narrower feature set. The core Avast technologies are the File Shield (or simply put Antivirus), Behaviour Shield, Web Shield (that one is very important as it can frequently block connections to C&C and additional payloads from being deployed) and the Ransomware Shield. There is even a simple firewall implementation in the free product. There is no urgent need for users to upgrade and deploy other features. Kudos to Avast for providing all that and not a free “Cloud Antivirus” that gets suspended a year after (we remember McAfee). [/QUOTE]
