INNSBRUCK, TIROL, AUSTRIA, April 15, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Avast products enjoyed a very successful year in AV-Comparatives’ tests of consumer and enterprise security products, and were rewarded with numerous awards.

AV-Comparatives’ tests are very carefully designed and executed to thoroughly and realistically simulate scenarios that face users in real life.
