Avast is one of the widely used antivirus solutions. Avast Free Antivirus for Windows is being used by millions of PC users to protect their data from viruses and other threats.
In addition to the Avast Free Antivirus, a significant number of PC users use Avast Pro Antivirus, Avast Internet Security, and Avast Premier for advanced protection and security features.
If you have installed Avast Pro, Internet Security, or Premier on one of your PCs, you might want to know if the Avast license is transferable from one computer to one, just like Kaspersky.
