Changes we made to our own record of Avast, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Avast. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.

This standing as a plaque
Avast currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 8 of 9 · Antivirus Software. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Avast moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
