Avast’s brilliant virus protection now starts from just AU$37.99 for a full year – giving you peace of mind when browsing the web

Whenever you’re at a computer or browsing the internet, you should be aware of the dangers lurking online that may compromise your device. Scammers, cybercriminals and viruses are ever prevalent in this digital age, and the risks of a dodgy file being downloaded onto your computer or a malicious website posing as a legitimate one have never been more real. To help keep yourself safe, one of the best things you can do is install reliable antivirus software – and right now, the security experts at Avast have made doing so incredibly affordable by slashing the cost of their leading suites by up to 60%.

Avast is a leader in the antivirus world. We think quite highly of the company’s antivirus packages, ranking the brand in the top three on our list of the best antivirus software packages. By running a reliable antivirus suite like Avast Premium or Avast Ultimate and practicing good cybersecurity hygiene (for example, by updating your system regularly and scanning for viruses often), you can help ensure you have the best protection online.

From now until March 31, 2025, you can pick up a subscription to Avast Premium or Ultimate with a 60% discount off the RRP for the first year. That discounted price will switch back to the regular price once the year is through. Both options are compatible with PC, Mac, iOS and Android platforms, so they’re worth considering no matter what your day-to-day devices might be.

Avast is a TechRadar preferred partner (What does that mean?)

In our Avast One review (a plan offered by Avast with similar features to these discounted options) we praised the software for its near-perfect malware protection and noted that device slowdown wasn’t noticeable at all, making it a particularly great option for gamers.
