Features
* Core Technologies
- Antivirus and anti-spyware engine Improved
Innovative scanning engine protects against viruses, spyware, and other malicious agents.
- Real-time anti-rootkit protection
Prevents stealth malware that, when loaded by the computer OS, are invisible to ordinary scanners.
- Silent Firewall Improved
Stops hackers, using heuristic and behavioral analysis and a white list of safe applications.
- Antispam Improved
Comprehensive spam and phishing filter, which works as a plug-in to MS Outlook and a generic POP3/IMAP4 proxy for other email clients.
- avast! WebRep New
Provides website reliability and reputation ratings according to community-provided feedback.
- avast! CommunityIQ
Our technology uses a global network of sensors to provide us with data taken (anonymously) from the actual web-browsing experiences of an opt-in group of avast! users. This info is then used to protect all avast! users with the most up-to-date information on viruses and infected websites.
Because of avast! CommunityIQ, avast! has discovered 252,426 infected websites and protected 148,511,344 people from visiting them in the last 30 days.
* Hi-Tech Features
- Boot-time scanner Improved
Scans your computer for infections before the OS can start to activate any viruses beneath it (now applies to Windows 7 and Windows Vista).
- Opens a new (clean) desktop so that other applications don't see what's happening - perfect for secure online shopping and banking - and leaves no traces once it's closed.
- AutoSandbox New
Prompts users to run suspicious applications in the virtual Sandbox environment.
- avast! Sandbox
Provides an extra layer of security for you to run your PC and its applications in a virtual environment where any attacks are thus targeted (instead of your real PC).
- Intelligent Scanner
Reduces the number of required file scans up to 80% through a white list of safe applications. Files identified as safe are not rescanned unless they change.
- Silent/Gaming Mode
Automatically detects full-screen applications and disables pop-ups and other notifications without compromising security.
- Green computing

Real-time scanning of opened/executed files.

- P2P Shield/IM Shield

Incremental updating minimizes the size of regular update files.

New format for the virus definition file means faster updates and reduces demand on CPU/memory, for uninterrupted computing.
