Title: Always the best choice for the value...
Review: No pictures, it was a digital download. I like Avast for the multi device plans, especially for a family.For 25 buck a year, it's a good price for security.My only caveat is the in software advertising. Not cool... If I wanted the add on, I would have purchased it.Beyond that little bit of frustration, it's a great piece of security software for your devices. Definitely recommended...

Title: Nearly Perfect Antivirus + VPN
Review: This is a great product, I like it and have loved Avast for years. The only thing I'm dissapointed with is that it doesn't have the Driver Updater as a part of the "Ultimate" version. That's still a seperate option to have, so if you're interested in that please keep that in mind before purchasing. The VPN also comes with unlimited use, which is great since I use the Internet the most in my household. It already fixed up my computer and really increased the performance as well as saved space from junk files and broken registry. So happy about that!Overall, I love and trust Avast. I'm a Cybersecurity major and Digital Forensics minor, so this is a really good value for the money.

Title: I Honestly Don't Know What I Was Thinking!
Review: UPDATE TO POST BELOW!!! DON"T BUY THIS PRODUCT FOLKS!!! NOT ONLY IS IT DAMAGING TO YOUR COMPUTER, THEY MAKE YOU GO THROUGH HELL TO GET A REFUND!!!! I ALREADY GAVE UP!!!! NOT ONLY THAT, THE ADS DON'T STOP. tHEY KEEP PUSHING YOU TO BUY EVEN MORE STUFF THAT YOU DON'T NEED FOR YOUR PC AND DEVICES. MY COMPUTER IS CRAP NOW!!!! THANKS AVAST AND THANKS AMAZON FOR SPONSORING SUCH A POOR QUALITY PRODUCT!!! End of update.Ever since Avast started getting really pushy with their adds and unnecessary product offers, I have been highly unimpressed with their services. Why I chose to buy this product is beyond me and I am not surprised, in the least bit at just how awful this product is. My PC runs slower now than my old Windows 95 PC and that's not even an exaggeration folks. This Avast program is a waste of money and even has the potential to destroy your Windows. I have had this program less than a week and have had to run a system check twice already because the changes Avast made to my PC corrupted my Windows files. If you are looking for a smooth running PC with good Security, I highly urge you to look elsewhere, cause Avast, though once a really great antivirus program, has sold out those who trusted them and are selling garbage to the rest. I can't even enjoy a normal video stream, without constant freezing up of my PC functions. And good luck trying to get your money back. I am still trying to get support. I am beginning to wonder if it exists at all. I am forced to give a star to complete my review. That's one star too many for this product. I give it minus ten stars and all involved in the making of this product should be arrested, cause I am sure this product, in it's current state has already ruined systems and lives right now. It's making mine miserable that's for sure. Now I am out 50 bucks and I STILL NEED A DECENT VIRUS PROTECTION PROGRAM. THIS IS NOT IT> AND ONE LAST THING, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF GIVING BAD REVIEWS ON AMAZON!!! wHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO STOP SELLING CRAPPY PRODUCTS! SEEMS LIKE ANYTHING I BUY THROUGH HERE IS CRAP ANYMORE. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU PEOPLE? AMAZON WAS COOL FOR YEARS. NOW IT SEEMS AS IF ALL THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS ARE BEING SOLD TO ME, CAUSE THAT IS ALL I'VE GOTTEN FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.

Title: Lots of additional functionality
Review: Very easy to install, great price, and great additional functions like duplicate file and photo finder, bad photo finder, unused applications and maintenance files finder all to delete gigabytes of wasted hard drive capacity.

Title: Superior Antivirus Products
Review: I have been using Avast Antivirus since the early 1990’s and have never had a problem. Avast was the only company offering 64 bit protection at that time. Avast has always been on the leading edge of this technology. Avast offers free antivirus for those who cannot afford to pay. Avast has available at no charge their own secure browser. The browser is great for my banking needs. I highly recommend Avast. I am NOT receiving any compensation from Avast, nor do I know any employees of Avast.

Title: Remember to CUSTOMIZE and ACTIVATE install
Review: I want to first off address a couple of items that people were confused with since I almost didn't purchase the product because of these negative reviews. But I did and here's what I found:1) You can CUSTOMIZE your install to remove annoying components like "Software Updater" and "SafePrice" -- just read the short description for each by clicking on the "?" icon and decide for yourself if you want it installed. Look for the option to customize your install at the BEGINNING of the installation. "Customize" is in smaller font below the big "INSTALL" button - if you click install, it will install everything.If you have already installed everything you have 2 options: 1) uninstall and reinstall by using the customize option, or 2) go to the Components tab and uninstall/remove components that you do not want. NOTE: If you install "VPN" or "Passwords" you will have to purchase them separately after installation.2) The subscription is for 2 years (or 730 days). It starts off as 30 days so you have to ACTIVATE your software. Here's how. Open up the Avast Internet Security panel > Subscriptions > Enter the Activation Code (found in your Amazon purchase history or software library). Then it will prompt you to register. After you register, the 2 years will show for your subscription.Hope that helps.
