Comparison
Avast One is a security suite with a free tier, and AV-Comparatives (June 2026) reports that Avast One Free flags issues, offers Premium and then prompts a Premium trial of 60 days, with upgrade offers inside detection alerts. CoreLock's local scan, Security Score, Issues, Privacy report and Shields have no Pro gate, and it doesn't block threats in real time.

Avast says moving Avast One to the Trash doesn't fully uninstall it and recommends its own uninstaller (source below). Apple's advice for any app is the same: if it includes an uninstaller, that's the best way to delete the app and any login items, extensions or other data it stored elsewhere.
AV-Comparatives' Mac Security Test & Review (June 2026) reports that Avast One Free flags issues, offers Premium, then prompts a Premium trial of 60 days, and that upgrade offers can appear inside detection alerts; it says AVG does the same. CoreLock's local scan, Security Score, Issues, Privacy report and Shields have no Pro gate.
