Avast is stepping up the fight against mobile scams with a new, AI-powered layer of protection for both Android and iOS users. As scammers become increasingly sophisticated, employing tactics that bypass traditional security measures, Avast is leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to identify and block these threats in real-time.

The company recognizes that mobile devices have become prime targets for fraudsters. People conduct a large portion of their daily lives on their smartphones, from banking and shopping to communication and social media, making them vulnerable to a wide range of scams. These scams can range from phishing attempts disguised as legitimate messages from banks or retailers, to fake investment opportunities promising unrealistic returns.

Avast's new AI-driven system analyzes various factors to detect scam attempts. This includes scrutinizing the content of messages, identifying suspicious links, and monitoring user behavior for unusual patterns that might indicate fraudulent activity. The AI constantly learns and adapts, allowing it to stay ahead of evolving scam tactics and identify new threats as they emerge.

This enhanced protection aims to provide users with peace of mind while using their mobile devices. By proactively identifying and blocking scams, Avast helps prevent users from falling victim to fraud, protecting their personal information, financial assets, and overall online security.

The rollout of this AI-powered scam defense underscores Avast's commitment to providing comprehensive security solutions for its users. It acknowledges the growing complexity of online threats and the need for more advanced technologies to combat them effectively. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, Avast is offering a vital layer of protection against the ever-evolving landscape of mobile scams, making it harder for fraudsters to succeed. The update is expected to be available to Avast Mobile Security users on Android and iOS platforms in the coming weeks.
