Avast came out in 2016: first impressions

Avast comes edition 2016. Always free, always efficient, always light, protection which has more than 230 million active users worldwide is fighting to maintain its relevance in a world where Windows 10 displays a standard level of protection often considered sufficient.

Of all the security vendors, Avast is probably the one that plays the free map with more sincerity. All key protection shields are available from version "Free". Only a few advanced features or very optional, are reserved for paid versions.
With version "2016", available today, Avast remains true to its philosophy. The most popular protection of the hexagon (but also in the world according to Opswat study that assigns almost 17% of the global market) remains effective, displays a full compatibility with Windows 10 and new gun shields better defend your identity and private data.

A password manager
The main novelty of this version is called Passwords and 2016, as its name suggests, offers to store and manage your passwords in a secure way, a bit like a LastPass. The main quality of Passwords is to be multiplatform. The authentication information saved is synchronized with your mobile device, Avast Passwords are also available as an App for Android and iOS.This password manager is nothing original and differentiated well, although we appreciate his function to import all the passwords you had saved (so little secured) into your web browsers, and automatic generation function of strong passwords. Avast Passwords integrates directly to the browser. It supports IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Microsoft Edge will be at the onset of the support extensions in 2016.
