Hybrid Cloud Technologies
Improved! antivirus and anti-spyware engine - Our award-winning scanning engine protects against viruses, spyware, and other malicious agents, now with a new algorithm that is based on machine learning, which can process new-virus data in milliseconds.
Improved! streaming, real-time virus database updates - Each virus signature comes to you in real-time via connection to the AVAST Virus Lab cloud, rather than needing to wait for a traditional virus-database update. Your database will be continuously updated with latest definitions.
Improved! file Reputation system - Now with more than a billion unique files in our cloud, avast! FileRep lets you know whether a file is safe before you open it determined in part by how many people have the file and how new the file is. Th e technology is also used internally, to help the scanning engine make more intelligent decisions.
Protective Features
New! software updater - Keeping your software applications updated or patched should not require that you proactively check each one, yet for many users this is the only option. Our Software Updater feature shows you an overview of all your outdated software applications, and prompts you to update your security vulnerabilities.
New! browser cleanup - This new tool serves as a maintenance center where you can delete pesky and unwanted toolbars and plug-ins from your browser(s).
Improved! behavioR shield - Our Behavior Shield determines, with greater precision, whether any running processes are displaying any unusual behavior.
Improved! avast! Sandbox - Provides an extra layer of security for you to run your applications in a virtual environment where any attacks are thus contained instead of attacking your real PC.
Os supported: Windows 8, Windows XP SP2+ 32-bit, Vista, 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) only RTM versions are supported (Windows 7 SP1 RC is currently also supported)
Os not supported: Windows 2000, Windows XP 64-bit (with any SP installed)
Greater Usability
New! user interface - The avast! UI has been redesigned to keep up with modern navigation styles. Newbies will find it easy to use, while geeks are still able to access advanced customizable features.
New! optimized for touch screens - Our new user interface, with large easy-to-push buttons, simplifi es using avast! on your touch-based Windows 8 devices.
Remote assistance - Our Remote Assistance feature lets you initiate remote support from any "geek" computer expert among your friends or family who agrees to help. Initiated by you, it routes through AVASTs servers, bypasses firewalls, and can be terminated by you at any time. You will never have to ask for help over the phone again.
