advanced security, privacy, or performance features to suit their
personal preferences or needs
TEMPE,
Ariz. and PRAGUE,
April 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avast, a leader in digital
security and privacy and brand of Gen™ (NASDAQ: GEN), today
released a new product tier to the award-winning Avast One suite:
Avast One Silver. The new offering takes a modular approach to
cyber security, allowing people to tailor their coverage based upon
their needs, personal preferences, or risk profiles.
The Avast One family of products now includes four tiers of
online protection and performance: Avast One Basic, Avast One
Silver, Avast One Gold, and Avast One Platinum. Avast One Silver bridges the gap between the free,
basic level of protection and the premium tiers which offer more
comprehensive capabilities, including Identity Protection.
"The Avast One service has matured significantly over the
years to ensure the needs that people require to feel safe and
confident online are met," said Leena
Elias, Chief Product Officer at Gen. "With the addition of
Avast One Silver to the Avast One family of products, people now
have the choice to add more of what they may want in a cyber
security solution tailored to their needs and online habits.
Personalization is an important step in people being able to take
an active role in staying cyber safe as people's lives continue to
be more and more online."
In addition to the free security, privacy, and performance tools
available in Avast One Basic, Avast One Silver offers modules of
advanced features from Avast One Gold, giving people a stronger and
more adaptable experience. Consumers can choose to upgrade to the
advanced online Protection, Privacy, and Performance modules. Key
features available in each module include:
Protection
- Email Guardian: A scam protection feature that scans and flags
emails as safe or suspicious before they arrive in people's
inboxes, regardless of where they login or the device used.
- Web Hijack Guard: Helps to avoid fake e-shops, dangerous
websites and phishing scams that attempt to steal credit card and
banking details.
Privacy
- Unlimited Virtual Private Network (VPN): A no-data limit VPN
that secures internet connections to ensure online activities can't
be spied on.
- Private Mode: Activates a private browsing session in one
click, combining VPN and Tracking Prevention for improved online
privacy.
Performance
- Driver Updater: Automatically checks for new compatible
drivers, delivers alerts when updates are available and installs
them from one place in just a few clicks.
- Software Updater: Automatically finds and installs software
updates for the most popular apps, all in one place.
Following its debut in 2021, Avast One has introduced major
feature updates to its family of products on Windows, Mac, Android,
and iOS platforms. These updates include Email Guardian to address
the increased volume and sophistication of scams and phishing
attempts targeting consumers, Privacy Advisor, a step-by-step guide
to adjust and improve privacy settings for online accounts, and
Bank Mode, which creates an isolated virtual desktop for more
secure banking and online payments. In 2023, comprehensive identity
monitoring, protection and restoration was added with the launch of
Avast One Platinum.
Avast One Silver is available now
in the US, UK, Canada,
France, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, and Austria, and is compatible with Windows, iOS,
and Android platforms*. The Individual plan with one module
covering three devices costs $35.88
