AVAST 8.X

What are new key features in avast! 8.x

avast! Software Updater monitors version status of 3rd party applications you are running and assists you to keep them up-to date.
avast! Browser Cleanup allows you to remove well-known unwanted 3rd party toolbars from your Internet Browser or to disable them in the Browser specific tabs on the list.
avast! Data Shredder, included in our new product avast! Premier 8.x, allows you to irreversibly erase hard drive partitions or individual files with sensitive data (user data, licensed software, etc.), when you want to be sure that there is no way how to restore data back in case of e.g. selling/donating your computers or hard drives.
avast! AccessAnywhere is a remote control alternative to existing avast! Remote Assistance, but with our new product avast! Premier 8.x you can configure it in a way, that you can establish a remote session always when your computer is turned on and connected to the Internet with no time limitation, and therefore you don't need to exchange a security code between computers every time you need to establish a remote session.
avast! Ad Blocker is a new add-on for Internet browsers which lets you block banner ads and pop-ups from appearing on the websites you visit, and therefore it should make a much cleaner web session.
avast! SecureLine is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) which allows you to connect to the Internet via encrypted tunnel in order to protect your online identity, downloaded and uploaded data from eavesdropping. It's integrated in avast! 8.x as an extra service and requires a separate license.

What is improved in avast! 8.x?

avast! Behavior Shield has more precise detections of unusual behavior within applications and utilizes sophisticated logic to check processes of running apps to identify unusual requests.

Malware detection capabilities with new machine learning algorithm (in-house) is able to scan two databases and identify anomalies/differences and reports them as shortly as possible (8 bytes).

Global Exclusions for all applications/files/processes which you want to exclude from scans are now unified in the main Settings tab. You are also able to make exclusions by file location, file type, or process.

Enhanced reporting of false positives and suspicious files for further analysis to AVAST Virus Lab. If some file or a web page is improperly flagged as suspicious, you can click a link “Report as false positive” on a displayed warning message and send a file or link directly. Suspicious files can be also attached and sent via the SUPPORT section, and not the Virus Chest only.

User Interface now has reduced number of widgets on the main screen which gives you a clear overview about program status, and allows you to quickly access to the major program features. The Current Status screen has single view of all Shield's statuses with ability to activate/deactivate each of them in one place.

avast! Screen Saver Setting allows you to disable background scans when the user notebook is running on battery power to save the battery life.
