Please advise thank you in advance

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you are well?

Sorry to worry you, but I would like some advice please, thank you in advance. :slight_smile:

I used to use Avast Free Antivirus quite a while ago, however, I am thinking of coming back and using Avast FREE again.
I do have some questions and I am hoping you can help with them.

  1. Is Avast compatible with Windows 10 Home 1067?

  2. How does Avast Safe Zone work and should I install it?

  3. What Privacy Data does Avast collect? I ask this question because I have seen video reviews on Avast Free 2016.

  4. Is Avast buying AVG, if yes why?

I look forward to hearing from you, thanks again for your help and advice I really appreciate it. :slight_smile:

For a problem free operation, default

You might want to enable PUP detection as it is disabled by default (legal reasons).

In a corporation, that is pretty much the same thing.
