FAQs
I have a small business with just a few computers. Can I install Avast free consumer antivirus on those computers instead?
If you're a business that handles client data and has servers, then you need more than what our free consumer antivirus offers. Our small business solutions provide server and endpoint protection. Avast Business solutions also offer advanced security, privacy, and productivity features to give your employees total digital privacy, security, and unparalleled productivity. They also come with an online management platform to provide real-time visibility of threats, comprehensive reporting, and remote management capabilities from a single platform.
Avast free consumer antivirus, Avast One, or Premium Security are intended for private, personal, and non-commercial use only. If you would like to use Avast in a business, commercial, non-profit, or government organization, we recommend trying Avast Business solutions.
