LONDON, UK: Avast announces that, with immediate effect, it has withdrawn the availability of all its products from Russia and Belarus and suspended all marketing and sales operations in these countries.
Avast has employees in both Russia and Ukraine and is actively working to protect and sustain them as a priority. In Ukraine, Avast is maintaining and bolstering its product offerings, giving paying users an extension on their licenses for free. Users of Avast freemium products are also able to get premium products for free.
With disinformation rife, supporting Ukrainians’ access to a secure, unrestricted internet connection to obtain and share accurate information about the conflict is critically important.
Ukraine, Russia and Belarus collectively contributed around 1.5% of Avast’s annual revenue in 2021.
