Svijetom besplatnih antivirusnih proizvoda dominira nekoliko tvrtki, a jedna od njih je popularni Avast . Razvijaju i distribuiraju jednu od najboljih besplatnih antivirusnih aplikacija koje možete pronaći, ali to nije jedini sigurnosni proizvod koji imaju u svom portfelju. Vrhunsko sigurnosno rješenje koje prodaju zove se Avast Premier , a korisnicima nudi antivirusni mehanizam, modul vatrozida i sve vrste drugih sigurnosnih modula namijenjenih zaštiti vaših Windows uređaja. Testirali smo ga nekoliko dana i, nakon što smo vidjeli sve njegove prednosti i nedostatke, sada smo spremni podijeliti naše nalaze s vama, u ovoj recenziji:

U čemu je Avast Premier dobar?

Avast Premier je sigurnosni proizvod koji je dobar u:

• Dobro izgleda i jednostavan je za korištenje
• Pronalaženje^(Finding) i uklanjanje zlonamjernog softvera s vašeg računala
• Dobro vas štiti od mrežnih napada kada ste povezani na javne mreže

Avast Premier u odnosu na Avast Internet Security^{(Avast Internet Security)}

I Avast Premier i Avast Internet Security nude iste osnovne komponente, a obje vas mogu jednako dobro zaštititi. Međutim, u usporedbi s nešto jeftinijim Avast Internet Security , Avast Premier također može:

• Zaustavite^(Stop) zlonamjerni softver i hakere da pristupe vašoj web kameri,
• Trajno brisanje osjetljivih datoteka i
• Automatski ažurirajte softver treće strane instaliran na vašem računalu.

Uzimajući sve to u obzir, ako možete izdvojiti koji dolar više, Avast Premier je bolja ponuda. Međutim, ako vam je svaki peni važan, jednako dobro možete učiniti i s Avast Internet Security .

Za i protiv

Evo nekih od pozitivnih značajki Avast Premier :

• Antivirusni mehanizam brz je i učinkovit u čišćenju virusa s vašeg računala
• Modul vatrozida nudi izvrsnu zaštitu kada ste spojeni na javne mreže
• Korisničko sučelje ima lijep dizajn i lako ga koriste početnici
• Tu su i mnoge napredne postavke u kojima mogu uživati ​​iskusni korisnici

Evo ne baš pozitivnih aspekata Avast Premier :

• Modul web štita ne radi kako bi trebao i ne sprječava vas da učitavate opasne phishing web stranice
• Ne postoje zapisnici za detaljne informacije o tome što se dogodilo na vašem računalu
• Antivirusni modul ne skenira automatski niti pita želite li skenirati prijenosne diskove na viruse
• Sigurnosni paket instalira proširenje web preglednika koje nema nikakve veze sa sigurnošću: Avast Safe Price . Ovo je samo način za unovčavanje korisnika, čak i ako su već platili za Avast Premier
• Ako trebate složenu podršku putem telefona, vjerojatno ćete morati platiti više novca Avastu^(Avast)

• Avast Premier usporava vrijeme pokretanja vašeg računala

• Neke od priloženih aplikacija koštaju dodatnog novca, uključujući VPN uslugu
• Sigurnosni paket ne nudi roditeljski nadzor

Presuda

Avast Premier je sigurnosni paket koji ima mnogo pozitivnih i negativnih strana. Za pozitivne strane dobivate dobar antivirusni mehanizam koji može očistiti svaku infekciju, izvrstan modul vatrozida koji vas može zaštititi od bilo koje mrežne prijetnje i korisničko sučelje koje izgleda dobro i jednostavno je za korištenje, posebno za početnike. Međutim, antivirusni motor ne reagira kada koristite prijenosni medij, modul vatrozida je prosječan samo kada koristite privatni mrežni profil, a korisničkom sučelju nedostaje dobar odjeljak za zapise i statistike. Ako također uzmete u obzir da su telefonska podrška ili VPN usluga koja je u paketu stvari koje koštaju dodatnog novca, zaključujemo da je riječ o sigurnosnom proizvodu koji biste trebali testirati prije kupnje. Mi to ne osjećamoAvast Premier je sigurnosni proizvod koji možemo preporučiti svima.

Iskustvo preuzimanja i instalacije

Da biste instalirali Avast Premier na svoje Windows računalo, prvo ga morate preuzeti s njegove službene web stranice koju možete pronaći ovdje^(here) . Dobivate malu izvršnu datoteku pod nazivom avast_premier_antivirus_setup_online.exe , veličine 6,84 MB. Važno^(Noteworthy) je napomenuti da Avast ne traži nikakve osobne podatke kako bi vam omogućio preuzimanje i instaliranje probne verzije Avast Premier .

Ono što je čudno u vezi s Avast Premier -om je da će pokušati povezati Google Chrome zajedno sa svojim zaštitnim modulima. Paket^(Bundling) dodatnog softvera je nešto što biste očekivali od besplatnog proizvoda, ali ne i od plaćenog. Ako ne želite koristiti Google Chrome kao web-preglednik, obratite pozornost kada pokrećete instalaciju Avast Premier i onemogućite ovu opciju.

Pokretanje instalacijskog programa znači da možete preuzeti približno 65 MB datoteka. Međutim, točna veličina preuzimanja razlikuje se ovisno o zaštitnim modulima koje odaberete instalirati. Jer da, ovaj sigurnosni proizvod vam omogućuje da odaberete što želite instalirati, a što ne.

Prilikom odabira komponenti koje želite instalirati, dobro razmislite o proširenju preglednika SafePrice , koje vam ništa ne čini u pogledu sigurnosti. Proširenje preglednika SafePrice daje vam samo alternative za proizvode koje pretražujete na mreži, na različitim web stranicama za kupovinu.

Na našem testnom računalu proces preuzimanja i instalacije odvijao se bez ikakvih prekida i problema. Na kraju, čarobnjak za instalaciju pita vas želite li instalirati Avastov^(Avast) sigurnosni paket i na svoj Android pametni telefon.

Zatim sigurnosni paket učitava svoje korisničko sučelje i pita za mreže na koje ste povezani. Kada vatrozid otkrije novu mrežu, uvijek pita je li privatna ili javna. Ovisno o vašem odgovoru, vatrozid automatski prilagođava svoju razinu zaštite, a također mijenja mrežni profil postavljen u sustavu Windows^(Windows) .

Prvim pogledom na korisničko sučelje također smo primijetili da Avast Premier već koristi najnovije definicije virusa dostupne na poslužiteljima tvrtke, što je dobro.

Iskustvo preuzimanja i instalacije koje smo imali za Avast Premier bilo je dobro. Cijenili smo činjenicu da ne morate dati nikakve osobne podatke za testiranje sigurnosnog paketa te da možete birati ^{(The download and installation experience we had for Avast Premier was a good one. We appreciated the fact that you do not have to provide any personal information to test the security suite, and that you can choose )}koje ^{(which )}zaštitne module želite instalirati. Međutim, ne cijenimo činjenicu da Avast Premier pokušava instalirati proširenje web preglednika (SafePrice) koje nema nikakve veze s vašom sigurnošću. To je samo način da zaradite ^{(protection modules you want to install. However, we do not appreciate the fact that Avast Premier tries to install a web browser extension (SafePrice) that has nothing to do with your security. It is just a way to make )}više ^{(more )}novca za Avast u ime kupaca koji plaćaju.^{(money for Avast on behalf of paying customers.)}

Integracija sa sustavom Windows^(Windows) , web preglednicima i univerzalnim aplikacijama za Windows platformu

Kada smo ga instalirali na naše testno računalo, Avast Premier je automatski onemogućio i Windows Defender i Windows vatrozid^{(Windows Firewall)} . To je dobra stvar jer će pomoći u izbjegavanju neželjenih problema s izvedbom i mogućih sukoba. Avast Premier je također dobro integriran s mrežnim značajkama sustava Windows^(Windows) – nismo imali problema pri stvaranju ili pridruživanju matičnoj grupi^(homegroup) , pri dijeljenju datoteka i mapa ili pri korištenju aplikacija univerzalne Windows platforme^{(universal Windows platform apps)} .

Kada se povežete na novu mrežu, modul vatrozida pita koja je to vrsta mreže. Možete birati između javnog i privatnog profila za svaku mrežu, baš kao u sustavu Windows^(Windows) .

Kada je riječ o vašoj online sigurnosti, Avast Premier vas štiti uz pomoć svog modula web štita, koji filtrira sav internetski promet s vašeg računala i blokira sve sumnjivo. Međutim, Avast Premier također nudi dva različita proširenja web preglednika koja bi trebala pružiti još veću sigurnost. Zovu se Avast Online Security i Avast SafePrice . Proširenje web-preglednika Avast Online Security dizajnirano je da blokira vaš pristup i obavijesti vas kada ćete posjetiti zaraženu web stranicu.

Međutim, drugi - Avast SafePrice - stvoren je kako bi vam pružio bolje ponude kada kupujete putem interneta, slanjem informacija Avast -u i davanjem ciljanih oglasa zauzvrat. U sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} ova proširenja web preglednika instalirana su prema zadanim postavkama za Google Chrome i Mozilla Firefox . Naša preporuka je da onemogućite i deinstalirate Avast SafePrice jer ne poboljšava vašu sigurnost.

Također smo pogledali koliko je Avast Premier povećao vrijeme pokretanja našeg testnog računala. Da bismo to učinili, koristili smo BootRacer za mjerenje vremena pokretanja prije i nakon instaliranja ovog sigurnosnog paketa. Nažalost, povećanje je bilo značajno, oko 30 posto. S druge strane, otkrili smo da Avast Premier troši malo RAM-a^(RAM) , a prosječna potrošnja iznosi 65 MB RAM-a^(RAM) .

Kako bismo provjerili utječe li Avast Premier^{(Avast Premier)} na brzinu interneta ili lokalne mreže , također smo izvršili nekoliko testova sa Speedtest.net i LAN Speed ​​Testom^{(LAN Speed Test)} . Testovi koje smo proveli pokazali su da sigurnosni paket nije utjecao ni na preuzimanje ni na brzinu prijenosa. Drugim riječima, nema negativan učinak na brzinu prijenosa mreže i nema utjecaja na internet prijenos podataka.

Čini se da je Avast Premier sigurnosni proizvod koji je dobro integriran sa sustavom Windows i njegovim mrežnim značajkama. Međutim, ne ^{(Avast Premier appears to be a security product that is well integrated with Windows and its networking features. However, we do not )}volimo ^{(like )}kada sigurnosni proizvod uključuje proširenja web-preglednika koja obećavaju "sigurne cijene, bolje ponude" i kada povećava vrijeme pokretanja našeg računala, kao što se čini da Avast Premier radi.^{(it when a security product is bundling web browser extensions that promise "safe prices, better deals," and when it increases the boot time of our computer, like Avast Premier appears to be doing.)}

Jednostavnost korištenja i konfiguracije

Avast Premier ima vrlo lijepo korisničko sučelje, s dizajnom koji se temelji na glatkim gradijentima i tankim linijama. Boje akcenta po izboru su zelena i ljubičasta, a glavna konzola vam na prvi pogled govori kakav je status vašeg računala, a također vam omogućuje "Pokreni Smart Scan". ^{("Run Smart Scan.")}Kada pritisnete ovaj gumb, pokrećete skeniranje vašeg računala na viruse, zastarjeli softver, dodatke pregledniku s lošom reputacijom, mrežne prijetnje, probleme s performansama i slabe lozinke.

Na lijevoj strani korisničkog sučelja nalazi se nekoliko gumba koji vam omogućuju pristup najvažnijim značajkama, alatima i postavkama koje nudi paket. Na primjer, ovo je mjesto s kojeg možete pokrenuti antivirusno skeniranje, pokrenuti bilo koji od alata u paketu sa sigurnosnim paketom ili otvoriti postavke Avast Premier .

Govoreći o postavkama, većinu njih je lako razumjeti i konfigurirati, jer Avast Premier nudi i prekidače i popise kvačica.

Avast Premier je također prilično dobar u tome da vam pomogne razumjeti što rade njegovi alati i postavke. Na primjer, postavke koje su malo više tehničke prirode imaju malu informacijsku ikonu na desnoj strani. Ako kliknete na nju, dobit ćete više pojedinosti o tome što postavka radi. Također, ako vam je potrebna detaljnija pomoć ili podrška, Avast Premier vas pokriva: možete pregledavati detaljnu dokumentaciju pomoći, slati zahtjeve za podršku putem kontakta ili zatražiti telefonsku podršku. Međutim, potonja opcija pokriva samo instalaciju i konfiguraciju vašeg Avast proizvoda. Ako imate složenije probleme, poput onih uzrokovanih virusom na vašem računalu, Avastovi^(Avast) tehničari mogu vam pomoći samo ako platite dodatnu pretplatu, uz cijenu koja svakako nije zanemariva.

U slučaju da ste znatiželjni, mogli bi vas zanimati i zapisnici i statistike koje prikazuje Avast Premier . Nažalost, ne možemo reći da smo zadovoljni onim što nudi. Dnevnike je teško pronaći, a informacije koje nude su, u najmanju ruku, slabe. Ako želite izvješća, morate ručno konfigurirati sigurnosni paket da ih generira, a to znači da ćete dobiti neke tekstualne datoteke koje morate pronaći na svom računalu pomoću File Explorera^{(File Explorer)} . To uopće nije prijateljski pristup.

Što se tiče upozorenja i obavijesti, Avast Premier je malo pričljiviji od drugog sličnog softvera. Vidjeli smo skočne prozore povezane sa zlonamjernim softverom koji su otkriveni na našem testnom računalu, ali i obavijesti o drugim stvarima.

Avast Premier ima zgodno korisničko sučelje i prilično je lako pronaći svoj put kroz njega. Cijenili smo korištenje prekidača i postavki kvačica, ali nam se nije svidio nedostatak zapisnika i statistike. Također, detaljna podrška dostupna je samo ako kupite zasebnu pretplatu koja košta puno novca.^{(Avast Premier has a good-looking user interface and finding your way through it is fairly easy. We appreciated the use of switches and checkmark settings, but we did not like the lack of logs and statistics. Also, in-depth support is available only if you buy a separate subscription that costs a lot of money.)}

Na sljedećoj stranici ovog pregleda možete vidjeti koliko je Avast Premier sposoban da zaštiti vaše Windows računalo od mrežnih napada i zlonamjernog softvera. Također možete vidjeti koje su dodatne značajke uključene u ovaj sigurnosni paket i provjeriti naše preporuke koje postavke trebate prilagoditi.

Security for everyone - Review Avast Premier

The world of free antivirus products is dominated by a few companies, one of them being the popular Αvast. Τhey develop and distribute one of the best free antivirus applications you can find, but that is not the only security prodυct they have in their рortfolio. The premium secυrity solution they sеll is called Avast Premier, and it offers users an antivirus engine, a firewall module and all sorts of other security modules destined to protect your Windows devices. We have tested it for a couple of days and, after seeing all its pros and cons, we are now ready to share our findings with you, in this review:

What is Avast Premier good at?

Avast Premier is a security product that is good at:

• Looking good and being easy to use
• Finding and removing malware from your computer
• Protecting you well against network attacks, when you are connected to public networks

Avast Premier vs. Avast Internet Security

Both Avast Premier and Avast Internet Security offer the same core components, and both can protect you just as well. However, compared to the slightly cheaper Avast Internet Security, Avast Premier can also:

• Stop malware and hackers from accessing your webcam,
• Permanently delete sensitive files, and
• Automatically update third-party software installed on your computer.

Considering all that, if you can spare a few dollars more, Avast Premier is a better deal. However, if every penny matters to you, you can do just as well with Avast Internet Security.

Pros and cons

Here are some of the positive features of Avast Premier:

• The antivirus engine is fast and efficient at cleaning viruses from your computer
• The firewall module offers excellent protection when you are connected to public networks
• The user interface has a nice design and is easy to use by beginners
• There are also many advanced settings for experienced users to enjoy

Here are the not so positive aspects of Avast Premier:

• The web shield module does not work as it should, and it does not stop you from loading dangerous phishing websites
• There are no logs for detailed information about what happened on your computer
• The antivirus module does not automatically scan, nor ask if you want to scan removable drives for viruses
• The security suite installs a web browser extension that has nothing to do with security: Avast Safe Price. This is just a method to monetize users, even if they have already paid for Avast Premier
• If you need complex support over the phone, you will probably have to pay more money to Avast

• Avast Premier slows down your computer's boot time

• Some of the bundled apps cost additional money, including the VPN service
• The security suite does not offer parental controls

Verdict

Avast Premier is a security suite that has many positives as well as negatives. For positives, you get a good antivirus engine that can clean any infection, an excellent firewall module that can protect you against any network threat, and a user interface that looks good and is easy to use, especially for beginners. However, the antivirus engine does not react when you use removable media, the firewall module is only average when you use a private network profile, and the user interface lacks a good logs and statistics section. If you also take into consideration that the phone support or the VPN service that are bundled with the suite are things that cost additional money, we conclude that this is a security product that you should test before you buy. We do not feel that Avast Premier is a security product that we can recommend to everyone.

The download and installation experience

To install Avast Premier on your Windows computer, you must first download it from its official website, which you can find here. You get a small executable file named avast_premier_antivirus_setup_online.exe, with a size of 6.84 MB. Noteworthy, Avast does not ask for any personal information to let you download and install a trial version of Avast Premier.

What's strange about Avast Premier is that it will try to bundle Google Chrome alongside its protection modules. Bundling additional software is something you would expect from a free product, but not from a paid one. If you do not want to use Google Chrome as your web browser, pay attention when starting the installation of Avast Premier and disable this option.

Running the installer means that you get to download approximately 65 MB of files. However, the exact size of the download differs according to the protection modules that you choose to install. Because yes, this security product lets you select what you want to install and what not.

When choosing what components you want to install, think twice about the SafePrice browser extension, which does nothing for you regarding security. The SafePrice browser extension only gives you alternatives to the products you search online, on different shopping websites.

On our test computer, the download and installation processes took place without any interruptions or problems. At the end, the installation wizard asks whether you want to install Avast's security suite on your Android smartphone too.

Then, the security suite loads its user interface and asks about the networks to which you are connected. When the firewall detects a new network, it always asks whether it is a private or a public one. Depending on your answer, the firewall adjusts its protection level automatically, and it also changes the network profile set in Windows.

Taking a first look at the user interface, we also noticed that Avast Premier was already using the latest virus definitions available on the company's servers, and that is a good thing.

The download and installation experience we had for Avast Premier was a good one. We appreciated the fact that you do not have to provide any personal information to test the security suite, and that you can choose which protection modules you want to install. However, we do not appreciate the fact that Avast Premier tries to install a web browser extension (SafePrice) that has nothing to do with your security. It is just a way to make more money for Avast on behalf of paying customers.

Integration with Windows, web browsers and universal Windows platform apps

When we installed it on our test computer, Avast Premier automatically disabled both Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. That is a good thing because it will help avoid unwanted performance issues and possible conflicts. Avast Premier is also well integrated with Windows' networking features - we had no problems when creating or joining a homegroup, when sharing files and folders or when using universal Windows platform apps.

When you connect to a new network, the firewall module asks what kind of network that is. You can choose between a public and a private profile for each network, just like in Windows.

When it comes to your online security, Avast Premier protects you with the help of its web shield module, which filters all the internet traffic from your computer and blocks everything suspicious. However, Avast Premier also offers two different web browser extensions that should provide even more security. They are called Avast Online Security and Avast SafePrice. The Avast Online Security web browser extension is designed to block your access and notify you when you are about to visit an infected website.

The other one though - Avast SafePrice - is created to give you better deals when you are shopping online, by sending information to Avast and giving you targeted ads in return. In Windows 10, these web browser extensions are installed by default for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Our recommendation is to disable and uninstall Avast SafePrice because it does nothing to improve your security.

We also looked at how much Avast Premier increased the boot time of our test computer. To do that, we used BootRacer to measure the boot time before and after installing this security suite. Unfortunately, the increase was significant, about 30 percent. On another note though, we found that Avast Premier consumes little RAM, the average consumption being 65 MB of RAM.

To check whether the internet or local network speeds are affected by Avast Premier, we also ran a few tests with Speedtest.net and with LAN Speed Test. The tests that we ran showed that neither the download nor the upload speed was affected by the security suite. In other words, it has no negative effect on network transfer speeds and no effect on internet data transfers.

Avast Premier appears to be a security product that is well integrated with Windows and its networking features. However, we do not like it when a security product is bundling web browser extensions that promise "safe prices, better deals," and when it increases the boot time of our computer, like Avast Premier appears to be doing.

Ease of use & configuration

Avast Premier has a very good-looking user interface, with a design based on smooth gradients and thin lines. The accent colors of choice are green and purple, and the main console tells you in a glimpse what your computer's status is, while also letting you "Run Smart Scan." When you press this button, you trigger a scan on your computer for viruses, outdated software, browser add-ons with a bad reputation, network threats, performance issues, and weak passwords.

The left side of the user interface is home to a few buttons that let you access the most important features, tools, and settings offered by the suite. For instance, this is the place from which you can launch antivirus scans, start any of the tools bundled with the security suite or open the settings of Avast Premier.

Speaking of settings, most of them are easy to understand and configure, as Avast Premier offers both switches and check mark lists.

Avast Premier is also quite good at helping you understand what its tools and settings do. For instance, the settings that are a bit more technical have a small information icon on their right sides. If you click on it, you get more details about what the setting does. Also, if you need more in-depth help or support, Avast Premier has you covered: you can browse through detailed help documentation, send support requests via a contact, or ask for phone support. However, the latter option only covers installing and configuring your Avast product. If you have more complex issues, like the ones caused by a virus on your computer, Avast's technicians can help only if you pay an additional subscription, with a price that is definitely not negligible.

In case you are curious, you might also be interested in the logs and statistics displayed by Avast Premier. Unfortunately, we cannot say that we are satisfied with what it offers. The logs are hard to find, and the information they offer is poor, to say the least. If you want reports, you must manually configure the security suite to generate them, and that means that you get some text files which you must find on your computer using File Explorer. It is not a friendly approach at all.

Regarding alerts and notifications, Avast Premier is a bit more talkative than other similar software. We have seen popups related to malware being detected on our test computer but also notifications about other things.

Avast Premier has a good-looking user interface and finding your way through it is fairly easy. We appreciated the use of switches and checkmark settings, but we did not like the lack of logs and statistics. Also, in-depth support is available only if you buy a separate subscription that costs a lot of money.

On the next page of this review, you can see how capable Avast Premier is at protecting your Windows computer from network attacks and malware. You can also see what additional features are included in this security suite, and check our recommendations for what settings you should adjust.
