Avast - for whom is the Pro version worthwhile?

With Avast Pro, you can extend your free protection with Avast. We'll show you who the update is worth.

Avast: The Pro version can

In addition to the usual features of the free version, the Pro version gives you the following features:

Sandbox: You can use the sandbox to run critical files in a shielded area. All files and programs that are opened in the sandbox have no direct access to your system and therefore cannot infect it.
DNS: With the SecureDNS function, Avast protects you from harmful website redirects caused by security gaps in your router.
Mail scan: In the Pro version, Avast also monitors your inbox and warns you of dangerous spam mails - even before you open them.
SafeZone: Similar to the sandbox, this feature is a separate protection that makes your online shopping and online banking more secure.
Firewall: The integrated firewall protects you from hackers and other unauthorized access to your computer.
Data shredder: If you want to permanently delete a file, the data shredder will help you. Professionals can recover deleted files - but if you use the data shredder, recovery is almost impossible.
Software updater: Also integrated is a software updater that always keeps your installed programs up to date and informs you about possible updates.
Service: If you have a problem with Avast, you can contact email support. As a user of the free version, all you have to do is ask the online lexicon or the CHIP forum.

If you only want to use the Pro version on one computer, the software will cost you around 35 euros for one year, around 55 euros for two years and around 75 euros for three years.
It will be cheaper if you buy three licenses at once. A subscription for one year costs around 55 euros, for two years 65 euros and for three years 85 euros.

You can test avast Pro Antivirus 2015 in our CHIP download area for 30 days. If you are convinced of the performance, you can purchase a license and thus extend the protection.
Similar to BitDefender Internet Security 2015, the Pro version offers all the desirable functions that anti-virus software should have.
If you only surf the Internet on safe and well-known sites, the Pro version is not absolutely necessary. The free version also offers extremely good protection. The Pro version is only worthwhile if you really want to be on the safe side or face your PC every day with the dangers of the Internet.
The Comodo Internet Security software offers almost the same functions, but does not cost you a single cent.
