Shop, bank, and pay online safely
Shop and pay online safely

Shop and pay securely without worrying about your financial credentials being compromised. Avast Premium Security scans websites to make sure they’re legitimate, so you can avoid fake websites trying to steal your information.
How fake websites work
Spoofed websites are commonly used by cybercriminals to steal your data and personal information. A spoofed website looks like the legitimate version but is fake and designed to steal information like your passwords and other personal data. Avast Premium Security alerts you to unsafe websites before you load them up, so you can live your online life with more confidence.
Whichever devices you use, we’ve got you covered
Help to prevent hackers from taking over your PC
Viruses, ransomware, scams, and other attacks have always targeted Windows more than any other operating system, but what’s concerning is the rise of remote access attacks. The last thing you need is a hacker remotely taking control of your PC and infecting it with malware or locking your files with ransomware. But no need to worry — Avast Premium Security helps protect your PC against such attacks.
How Remote Access Shield works
The most dominant vector for remote access attacks is Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). RDP is a useful tool for granting authorized remote access when needed, but can be a loophole for an attack if not used properly. Remote Access Shield protects against such attacks in three ways:
- Detect and block brute-force attacks by counting unsuccessful login attempts within a specified period of time and blocking the IP address associated with these attempts.
- Secure known OS vulnerabilities and prevent RDP exploit attacks aimed at breaching them.
- Automatically block all IP addresses known to distribute malware by exploiting RDP ports. Our database is continuously updated using our AI algorithm.

How anti-ransomware protection works
Avast’s anti-ransomware protection ensures that your personal and sensitive files, photos, and documents stay safer from hackers looking to access and exploit them by holding you to ransom. Avast’s Ransomware Shield automatically prevents untrusted applications from modifying, deleting, or encrypting your files, giving you the peace of mind you need.
