FAQs
I have a small business with only a few computers. Can I install Avast free consumer antivirus on those computers instead?
If you're a business that handles client data or has servers, then you need more than what our free consumer antivirus offers. Avast Business solutions 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, and 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.

As your business and security needs grow, the Avast Business Hub allows you to add other services such as Patch Management and Cloud Backup that can all be managed from one platform.
