Hello! Avast is a good antivirus, but it misses a lot of PUA (PUP), Adware. Why? Here is a new big test of Avast Free Antivirus 2016, which made comss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-Y2NIcjuFI Not very good defence from PUA, Adware, malicious browsers…
Did you enable PUP detection ?
PUP is not a exact thing.
Some say a application is a pup while others say it isn’t.
Fact is that the database is growing.
Most of us also use a combination of Avast Free and Malwarebytes Free.
PUP detection is enable. In the test were considered different configurations settings: from the default settings to the maximum settings.
Thank you. I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and HitmanPro. But antivirus also should be well protected from PUA, Adware…
Since nothing in life is perfect, layered protection is usually your best choice.
Yes. Comodo Firewall + Avast Free Antivirus + Malwarebytes Antimalware & HitmanPro = the best security of system.
