Boost your PC’s defense against hackers trying to gain access
Viruses, ransomware, scams, and other attacks have always targeted Windows more than any other operating system, but what’s concerning is the rise of remote access attacks. The last thing you need is a hacker remotely taking control of your PC and infecting it with malware or locking your files with ransomware. But no need to worry — Avast Premium Security helps protect your PC against such attacks.
