What is Avast Internet Security?

Avast Internet Security is a legacy premium antivirus suite designed to help protect Windows PCs from viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing emails, malicious websites and unauthorised network access. Its feature set included real-time antivirus shields, a firewall, Ransomware Shield, Real Site protection against fake websites, Sandbox for testing suspicious files, Anti-Spam and webcam protection. Avast has since retired the Internet Security product name from direct sale and moved eligible existing subscribers to Avast Premium Security. A listing for an Avast Internet Security key may therefore refer to an older subscription key, a legacy licence or a product that activates or upgrades to Avast Premium Security. Before purchasing, compare Avast Internet Security key prices from verified third-party retailers and confirm the exact activation outcome, licence duration, region, device allowance and compatibility with your Avast Account.

FAQs when buying Avast Internet Security

5 questions

No. Avast states that Avast Internet Security is no longer available for purchase through its website. Existing Internet Security subscribers received an upgrade to Avast Premium Security, which includes additional tools and features. A retailer listing may therefore be for a legacy key or a subscription that transitions to Premium Security.

Avast Internet Security was a former paid security suite. Avast Premium Security is its current replacement product and protects against viruses, malware, phishing and other threats. Avast says existing Internet Security users were upgraded to Premium Security, which contains additional tools and features. Check the listing for the exact activation entitlement.

It may, but this depends on the specific key, its subscription status and Avast’s migration terms. Avast has upgraded existing Internet Security users to Premium Security, but a reseller’s legacy product code can have different conditions. Check the product listing and region eligibility before redeeming an activation code.

Yes. Avast Internet Security included Ransomware Shield, a feature designed to help prevent untrusted applications from changing or encrypting protected files. The suite also included other protection layers, such as a firewall, Real Site, Sandbox and Anti-Spam. Available features may differ after migration to Premium Security.

Avast Internet Security was primarily a Windows product. Modern Avast subscriptions may support other platforms, but coverage and features differ by plan. Do not assume that a legacy Internet Security key works on macOS, Android or iOS; verify the retailer’s supported-platform information before purchasing or activating it.
