Data breaches are an unfortunate fact of life online, and the repercussions of having your personal data exposed can be terrible. Private information about individuals is incredibly valuable to criminals, and changes hands for large sums on the dark web. If your personal data is leaked, including passwords to your online account, you want to know as soon as possible.
And this is precisely what Avast BreachGuard does. It lets you know about data breaches involving your data, informing you of any user databases that may have been exposed or websites that may have been hacked. Armed with this information, you can then change your passwords on any affected services to prevent someone from abusing your account or gaining access to further information about you.
But BreachGuard also goes further than this. Avast take things a step further by also stopping companies from collecting data about you, as well as removing information from databases to prevent it from being sold on to marketers.
The program's dashboard give you a clear overview of the safety of your personal information, assigning you a privacy score which works in much the same way as your credit score the higher the score the better.
