Take ownership of your files with Internxt zero-knowledge cloud storage

Avast may remove important files. Internxt secures your device, frees up storage, and protects your privacy

Avast requires deep permissions to function, increasing exposure to accidental damage or misuse. Switch to Internxt for full device protection combined with secure cloud storage.

Data collection

Between at least 2014 and January 2020, Avast allegedly collected detailed browsing information through antivirus and browser extensions and sold it to third parties for advertising and analytics purposes without adequate notice or consent. This included search queries and visited URLs.

Lack of transparency

As Avast is not open source, you have to trust the company's claims about privacy, telemetry, and internal security controls because external experts cannot freely review the code for hidden behavior, backdoors, or weak cryptographic implementations.

Impacts device performance

Avast can impact device performance during full scans and real-time protection, causing high memory use, slowdowns, delayed network connections, or system lag on some hardware. Depending on your device, you may experience more noticeable performance degradation that can cause more harm than good.

Limited product suite

Avast offers limited products compared to Internxt Drive, creating dependency on a single recurring subscription. If you need advanced cloud storage protection for your device combined with other features, you need to look elsewhere and possibly pay for more subscriptions.

Internxt vs Avast

Internxt offers unrivaled privacy and security thanks to zero-knowledge, post-quantum encryption, giving you the best protection from cyberattacks.

Lifetime plans

Competitor icon

Proprietary software

Avast keeps its source code hidden from the public. With no transparency, there is no way to know for sure how Avast handles or protects your files.

Encrypted connection

Avast uses end-to-end encryption for some of its products, but doesn't provide zero-knowledge encryption.

Czech Republic-based

GDPR compliant

Subscription based

Avast only offers annual subscriptions, so if you need cloud storage and more, you would need multiple subscriptions.
