Avast's antivirus alerts have a long life as Brazilian internet humour, where the program's calm notification voice became a favourite vehicle for mock-serious announcements, from virus warnings to tongue-in-cheek social commentary. This clip, tagged as the Avast voice, applies that deadpan delivery to joke definitions of poverty and circulates on soundboards alongside other buzzer-style alerts. With only a handful of plays, it is an underground meme favourite rather than a viral hit, kept alive by creators who love turning mundane software sounds into short, shareable punchlines.
About this sound
The Avast antivirus voice dryly defines poverty in Portuguese. A Brazilian meme favourite, it plays like a mock security alert whenever being broke is the punchline.
This short clip is the familiar robotic voice of the Avast antivirus notification, speaking Brazilian Portuguese with its flat, deadpan announcement tone, calmly laying out tongue-in-cheek definitions of poverty. It sounds like a genuine security alert from an old antivirus program — measured, emotionless and slightly tinny — which is exactly what makes it funny. Hearing a stern piece of software solemnly define being broke turns a familiar system sound into a punchline, and creators use that contrast to roast cheap situations, empty wallets and budget disasters in short videos.
