Cons	Avast Software The major drawback of using Avast secure web gateway that it sometimes slows down the system in blocking web threats. Secondly, it is hard to set up the first time as it takes a lot of effort and time to completely integrate with the system to make it fully functional. Starting scanning the web application and organizing network in the background which talks a lot of memory and slows down the other processes.
