Key Features – avast! Internet Security
Hybrid Cloud Technologies
new! STREAMING, REAL-TIME VIRUS DATABASE UPDATES
Now you get each virus signature sent to you in real-time via a connection to the
AVAST Virus Lab cloud, rather than needing to wait for a traditional database
update. Your database will be continuously updated with the latest definitions.
new! FILE REPUTATION SYSTEM
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. The technology is
also used internally, to help the scanning engine make more intelligent decisions.
New Protective Features
improved! AUTOSANDBOX
Suspicious programs are now automatically placed inside the avast! Sandbox.
When the program finishes, a comprehensive report is generated and, based on the
program’s behavior, you are given a recommendation on how to treat it in the future.
improved! BROWSER SANDBOXING
Enabled by a single click of the mouse, it allows you to completely isolate the
browser from the rest of the system – even if the browser gets hijacked, your
system stays clean.
improved! WEBREP
The version 7 WebRep browser plugins provide greater protection against phishing
sites, including heuristics detection of new phishing sites. It can also detect fake/
planted SSL certificates, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks against https sites.
Browser support has been extended to Apple™ Safari™..
improved! SAFEZONE™
Available only in Pro Antivirus and Internet Security, our SafeZone™, your
ultimate clean and secure window for financial transactions, now auto-prompts
you move to the SafeZone from your regular browser.
Greater Usability
new! AVAST MANAGEMENT PORTAL
Your web-based AVAST Account portal is your personal directory for all your
avast! related data. It allows you to track all your avast! installations, complete
with their health data, status information, and useful statistics. And it’s
multiplatform, allowing you to manage you avast! installations on both Windows
and Mac computers, as well as Android devices.
new! REMOTE ASSISTANCE
Our new Remote Assistance tool lets you initiate remote support from any
‘geek’ among your friends or family who agrees to help. Initiated by you, it routes
through AVAST’s servers, bypasses firewalls, and can be terminated by you at
any time. You will never have to ask for help over the phone again.
new! CUSTOMIZABLE INSTALLATION
Your avast! software can now be installed in Compatibility Mode, meaning that
it will run perfectly along with your other antivirus software to act as a second
line of defense. And even if you install avast! in normal mode, you are given the
possibility to install just the components you really need.
Core Technologies
ANTIVIRUS AND ANTI-SPYWARE ENGINE
Innovative scanning engine protects against viruses, spyware, and other
malicious agents.
REAL-TIME ANTI-ROOTKIT PROTECTION
Prevents stealth malware (‘rootkits’) that, when loaded by the
computer’s OS, are invisible to ordinary scanners.
SILENT FIREWALL
Stops hackers, using heuristic and behavioral analysis and a white list
of safe applications.
ANTISPAM
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! COMMUNITY IQ
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.
Hi-Tech Features
BOOT-TIME SCANNER
Scans your computer for infections before the OS can start to
activate any viruses beneath it (now applies to Windows 7 and
Windows Vista).
SILENT/GAMING MODE
Automatically detects full-screen applications and disables pop-ups
and other notifications without compromising security.
GREEN COMPUTING
Leaves a minimal “footprint” due to its efficient and effective technology.
avast! Real-time Shields – a team of 24/7 guards
FILE SYSTEM SHIELD
Real-time scanning of opened/executed files.
MAIL SHIELD
Scans all incoming/outgoing email for malware (a special plug-in is
used for MS Outlook).
WEB SHIELD
Scans all visited web pages, downloaded files, and java scripts. Thanks
to the intelligent stream scanning feature, the Web Shield doesn’t
slow your web browsing.
P2P SHIELD/IM SHIELD
Checks files downloaded via P2P programs and while using IM or
“chat” programs.
NETWORK SHIELD
Protects against network-based viruses with two main components: a
URL blocker for malicious URLs, and a lightweight intrusion-detection
system.
SCRIPT SHIELD
Detects malicious scripts hidden in web pages and prevents them
from hijacking and potentially damaging your computer.
BEHAVIOR SHIELD
Stops ‘zero-day’ threats and unknown malware before virus
definitions have been obtained.
Additional features
64-BIT SUPPORT
Supports the 64-bit architecture platforms of Windows 7 and
Windows Vista.
HEURISTICS ENGINE
Proactively finds malware undetectable with normal definitions and
virus signatures.
CODE EMULATOR
Uses dynamic translation (a method much faster than traditional
emulation) for both generic unpacking and within the heuristics engine.
COMMAND-LINE SCANNER
Runs a scan directly from the command line.
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).
