Avast has launched a new scam protection tool, Avast Scam Guardian, powered by AI to detect suspicious activities in real time across digital channels.
The tool is integrated into Avast's free antivirus platform to combat phishing, online fraud, and evolving scam tactics in today's threat landscape.
A paid version, Scam Guardian Pro, is expected soon with added features like AI protection against scam calls and text messages.
The release of Avast's Scam Guardian coincides with rising scam trends, with phishing scams increasing by 466% compared to the previous quarter, emphasizing the need for enhanced scam protection.
