AVO Security
FEATURES

Eight things AVO does, on all six of your devices

Every feature is in every plan. What changes between plans is how many devices, addresses and child profiles you get, not what the software will do.

AVO Smart Scan on macOS

Smart Scan

Smart Scan looks at the software on a device, the files it has downloaded and the settings that quietly leave it open, then scores what it finds and puts the things worth fixing at the top.

See Smart Scan

Web Shield

Web Shield resolves every lookup over encrypted DNS and refuses the ones that lead to phishing, malware and tracking. Because it works at the network layer, it covers every app on the device rather than one browser.

See Web Shield

Wi-Fi Security

Every time a device joins a network, AVO checks how it is encrypted, whether anything is intercepting traffic, and whether the router is still on defaults. On an open network it can turn the VPN on without being asked.

See Wi-Fi Security

VPN

The VPN encrypts everything leaving the device, so an open network sees only that you are connected and nothing about where. It can start automatically whenever you join a network that is not encrypted.

See VPN

Link Checker

Paste or share a link and AVO follows every redirect on your behalf, then tells you the destination, who owns it, how old the domain is and whether it is already known for phishing.

See Link Checker

QR Scanner

A QR code is a link you cannot read. AVO decodes it, checks the destination the same way Link Checker does, and shows you what it is before anything opens.

See QR Scanner

Email Breach Scan

Give AVO an address and it checks it against known breaches, then names the site, the year and exactly which fields were exposed. Passwords and payment details are ranked first, because those are the ones worth acting on today.

See Email Breach Scan

Parental Controls

Pick a safety profile per child and it applies on every device they sign in to, so a phone and a tablet do not need setting up twice. Adult content and gambling are blocked on the stricter profiles.

See Parental Controls

What runs where

Where a platform limits what any security app is allowed to do, this table says so rather than leaving a blank. iOS in particular does not let one app inspect another.
