Avast Online Security & Privacy optimizes privacy settings across popular websites and services>
Help Net Security
Avast has upgraded its free browser extension with an expanded feature set and a new design to provide digital protection across all major browsers. The software, renamed from Avast Online Security to Avast Online Security & Privacy (AOSP), combines effective online protection with Avastâs latest Privacy Advisor, providing automated contextual guidance to help people optimize their privacy settings across popular websites and services.

AOSP is a convenient standalone starter pack for privacy protection, and also complements Avast Free Antivirus or Avast One. AOSP provides effective anti-tracking, advertising opt-out and cloud-based phishing protection to improve detection speeds. In addition, AOSP encourages users to regain control of the data they share online via Global Privacy Control (GPC), an integrated service that, in one step, automatically communicates the userâs privacy preferences to any website a user visits thatâs participating in the GPC initiative.
