Avast, a leader in digital security and privacy and brand of Gen? released a new product tier to the award-winning Avast One suite: Avast One Silver. The new offering takes a modular approach to cyber security, allowing people to tailor their coverage based upon their needs, personal preferences, or risk profiles.

The Avast One family of products now includes four tiers of online protection and performance: Avast One Basic, Avast One Silver, Avast One Gold, and Avast One Platinum. Avast One Silver bridges the gap between the free, basic level of protection and the premium tiers which offer more comprehensive capabilities, including Identity Protection. In addition to the free security, privacy, and performance tools available in Avast One Basic, Avast One Silver offers modules of advanced features from Avast One Gold, giving people a stronger and more adaptable experience.

Consumers can choose to upgrade to the advanced online Protection, Privacy, and Performance modules. Key features available in each module include: Protection: Email Guardian: A scam protection feature that scans and flags emails as safe or suspicious before they arrive in people's inboxes, regardless of where they login or the device used. Web Hijack Guard: Helps to avoid fake e-shops, dangerous websites and phishing scams that attempt to steal credit card and banking details.
