I’ve been using the free version of Avast antivirus software for well over a decade now. It’s always among the first batch of downloads I grab when I get a new laptop. Our reviewers even gave Avast One for Mac a 9 out of 10 review. But this week, Avast has a compelling offer that will convince freeloaders like me to get the paid version of Avast.

Right now, Avast Premium has an incredible 70% discount. That drops the price of one device from $80 per year to $23.40, or just under $2 per month. If you want to cover 10 devices, the price is only slightly higher, at $30 per year, or $2.50 per month. If you’ve been using the free version of Avast for a while, or you haven’t been using antivirus software at all, this is a deal you need to check out.

Why you should get this Avast Premium deal

What is the main difference between the free version of Avast and the Premium subscription? Premium comes with a few extra safeguards for Wi-Fi networks and targeted attacks. The free version of Avast blocks against viruses, malware, and ransomware. Premium adds three additional checks that are particularly useful for browsing the internet, plus an additional safeguard for remote attacks.

One: Avast will verify that a network you’re connecting to is secure, so you can rest assured knowing you’ve connected to the actual coffeeshop Wi-Fi instead of a malicious fake network designed to steal your info. Two: Avast will protect you from unsafe websites. If a website doesn’t pass Avast’s security checklist, you’ll be advised to stay away. Three: Avast will check for sites designed to steal your information, also called phishing. It’s an additional safety precaution while browsing sites that ask for your information, such as sites with logins, job application sites, and more.

Avast Premium also adds protection against remote access attacks. These are attacks that literally take over your computer, allowing someone far away to do whatever they want with your machine. If you have a lot of sensitive information on your computer, you should be sure to protect it.

Right now Avast Premium has a massive 70% discount, and it’s worth grabbing if you’ve been using the free version of Avast or flying by the seat of your pants with no antivirus at all. Grab a year-long subscription for $23.40 for one computer or $30 for 10 devices.

I didn’t think fake shopping could trick my brain until I tried the viral dopamine websites
On these fake shopping and delivery sites, nothing ever ships or costs a cent, yet the dopamine hit still felt real.
fake-shopping-on-viral-dopamine-websites

I spent some time in the internet's fakest mall, filling a shopping cart with things I could not buy, hunting for discounts on products that do not exist, and checking out three separate times for a grand total of $0.00. Then I placed a fake food order and smoked a cigarette I could not taste, with strangers I will never meet, on a rooftop that does not exist either. My bank balance never changed, but my brain, annoyingly, did.

When I first heard about South Korea's growing "dopamine sites," I assumed they were another internet oddity I would poke around for five minutes and forget by lunch. Instead, I found a surprisingly clever idea hiding beneath the absurdity. You can browse endless imaginary products, add everything to your cart, and complete a purchase that never actually exists. These websites aren't trying to sell you anything. They're trying to recreate the feeling of shopping while removing the part that empties your wallet.
