Avast lineup still confusing.
« on: September 17, 2021, 06:43:20 PM »
Avast One is a good direction.  Struggled with different components on different billing periods for some time.   See the table for free version vs individual.  But what about everything else?

Avast Premium Security $80.  Is this superiour to Avast One?
Clean Up $70.  Is full version in Avast One?
VPN $100.  I take it full version in Avast One.
Breach Guard $50, Driver Updater $50, Anti Track $65, Battery Saver $50, Secure Browser, passwords....

Does Avast One $110 paid version offer everything or will I be led along to pay for updates?

Hi, see if this helps: https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Migrate-One-FAQ
Nice reference.

I'm not sure of the whole concept of Avast One it seems to be everything opposite to why I installed Avast Free over 17 years ago.

Then I was looking for a configurable AV solution when the others were effectively what Avast One looks like, a one size fits all but doesn't suit everyone.  I'm all for the concept of simplicity as it suits many users, but many also want to be in control over what their AV does.

Dev-Info: To set expectations right, Avast One is not a replacement of the Antivirus or other Avast products. Avast One is a new product line with a distinct feature set. Pre-existing products remain available, should you prefer to keep those.

Thanks for that and long may it continue.
