The main purpose of this feature is to help out friends with computer problems.Īnother fresh addition is the possibility to backup and restore your settings. It allows you to connect remotely to other computers running avast! 7 and share desktops with each other. Remote assistance is also new in the feature list. When activity is recorded, they light up. The current state of each of the shield (file system, network, web, mail, peer to peer, IM, behavior and script) is not too obvious, unless you move your mouse over them and wait for the tool tip to pop up. Their activity is also available, through statistics showing the amount of items scanned and blocked. Under Real-Time Shields, although there is no addition as far as protection components are concerned, there is a new entry, “Protection status” that lets you check the current state of all shields. However, our tests were pretty superficial and included only on-demand scanning. We tried out the improved detection on a database of over 300 hand-picked malware samples and it did not do too shabby, but we’ve seen better results in other products. Most of these are available with a $/€8.40 discount, but for Internet Security you get a $/€33.61 price cut.

However, the recommendations to upgrade to Internet Security edition are now more obvious than ever.

The interface has been modified, but there is nothing too radical about the new looks, as they preserve the same layout as in the previous version.

However, the new elements are noticeable right from the start, as this time around you can choose to install the application as a second line of defense by choosing “Compatible Install.” With this release comes a new installer, but the procedure is not much different from what we’ve seen in the previous builds. Also, despite the fact that this is the free edition of the product, and components like firewall, anti-spam or process virtualization are left out, it continues to remain one of the most feature-rich anti-malware solutions on the market. The new version, though a public beta at the moment, boasts impressive progress both in terms of functionality as well as performance and versatility. The same document shows that last year the user base grew by 49 million registrants. Avast products need no introduction, as reaching the 190 million registered users mark, touted in a press release at the end of January, speaks volumes of its popularity.
