The internet has never been as dangerous as it is today! Not only because classic malware such as ransomware, banking Trojans and phishing attacks in emails and SMS continue to increase rapidly. The war in Ukraine has added a new dimension that many people probably only knew from science fiction films: cyberwar. Russian hackers have already paralyzed companies in Ukraine with attacks and are hunting down Putin critics in Russia. It is unclear whether Germany and Europe have already fallen into the crosshairs. It is all the more important that you protect yourself and your data! For that, you need a reliable protection program like Avast One. The software provides your PC with excellent protection against all conceivable attacks. Best of all: COMPUTER BILD readers with a CD/DVD get it free for a year from issue 9/2022 (date of publication: April 22, 2022).

New danger: cyberwar
Previously, cybercriminals almost exclusively targeted money. Since the war, it has also been about causing as much – and large – damage as possible. On top of that, Russian hackers seem to be tasked with uncovering the identities of human rights activists and journalists, for example. A good protection program is essential to defend against these threats now and in the future.

Complete list: The best antivirus
Avast One: Reliable antivirus protection
Avast One offers exactly that: With a detection rate of 99.99 percent, the program proved in the COMPUTER BILD test (issue 6/2022) that it is well prepared for any type of malware and cyber attack. Even state-sponsored hackers should bite their teeth at the protection software!
One click is enough and you will find all the functions of Avast One clearly listed.
Avast One: Lots of extras
But Avast One offers much more than effective virus protection. There are also numerous useful security extras, including a safe for sensitive data, an extra protective wall against ransomware attacks, webcam protection and a privacy advisor. All this helps you to increase the security of your computer and your data. And that’s still not all. Because with Avast One you get a complete VPN for anonymous surfing on the Internet – this is also important in times of growing threats. You can also look forward to the suite’s tuning functions, which you can use to improve or restore the performance of the PC.
One year free for you
As a buyer of the COMPUTER BILD CD/DVD edition, you will receive Avast One free for a full year if you install and activate the program by April 22, 2022. If you do this later, the runtime is correspondingly shorter. The version on the booklet CD/DVD is identical to Avast One Individual. The manufacturer has a function comparison. The only difference: the license is only valid for one device per Avast account. Whether you prefer to protect a Windows PC or a Mac with Avast One is up to you: the COMPUTER BILD license applies to both systems.

explained step by step
As with all protection programs, the same applies to Avast One: Several antivirus programs on the same device interfere with each other – and installation remnants of previous protection packages can cause problems. You must therefore completely remove the old program before installing Avast One. How best to do this, redeem the activation code and install the new Avast One, COMPUTER BILD explains step by step in the magazine. Plan about an hour for this. And, of course, COMPUTER BILD will then also show you how to react correctly if you find a virus and how to get the most out of the suite’s many useful additional functions.
Free help
If you follow the instructions, you shouldn’t go wrong setting up and using the program. If something still doesn’t work or you have questions about the program, you can reach the COMPUTER BILD editorial team at the email address [email protected] and the Avast customer support experts on the website support.avast.com.
