Our Facebook contest gave participants a chance to win one free year of Avast Premier 2016.

Over the weekend, we ran a fill-in-the blank contest on our Facebook page in celebration of the launch of Avast 2016 products. Participants had the chance to win a 1-year license for Avast Premier 2016, and could do so by finishing the following sentence:

“The best celebrations always include ______________.”

We received many fun, creative answers from our Facebook fans who are passionate about Avast and staying secure. Here are some of our favorite responses:

“The best celebrations always include free food, because who doesn’t like free food? #Avast2016”

 “The best celebrations always include close friends, family and the dog. #Avast2016”

“GOOD FOOD (along with family, of course). #Avast2016”

 “The best celebrations always include an AVAST amount of love. #Avast2016”

 “#Avast2016 The best celebrations always include Czech beer“

We’d like to thank each of our users who participated in the contest, and we encourage you to keep your eyes peeled for more upcoming promotions on our social media channels. Thanks for celebrating the arrival of Avast 2016 with us!

AVAST recently surpassed a major milestone:  More than 100 million downloads of avast! Mobile Security & Antivirus for Android.

To celebrate the phenomenal popularity of avast! Mobile Security, we organized a test-your-knowledge quiz on our popular avast! Facebook page. Our goal was not only to test your knowledge and award participants, but also bring your attention to and educate users about mobile security. Our knowledge quiz wasn’t easy, but we made sure that you received a hint to answer the questions correctly. Thousands of you submitted answers to our 5 questions as well as shared your thoughts about what the greatest threat to mobile security is today.

Here are the quiz questions and answers:

  • How many Smartphones are lost or stolen every minute of every day?  The correct answer was 100! The answer was found in this blog post.
  • avast! Anti-theft helps you locate your lost or stolen mobile device. There are various methods used. Which of following is NOT one of the methods? The correct answer was ‘Communicate via your GPS device.’  The hint was hidden in this blog post.
  • Based on users’ answers in an AVAST survey, which group of people are more vulnerable to mobile malware? The correct answer was ‘Males.’ The answer was found in this infographic.
  • When was the first version of avast! Mobile Security released? The correct answer was ‘December 2011.’ The hint was hidden in this YouTube video.
  • The AVAST team demonstrated our Mobile Security product at one of the largest mobile conferences in the world. In which great city did it take place?  The correct answer was ‘Barcelona.’ The hint was hidden in the following blog post.
