Core protection
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.
avast! Community IQ
Provides the best, most up-to-date signature-based detection, because the global avast! user community provides samples of new viruses.
avast! WebRep
Provides website reliability and/or reputation ratings according to community-provided feedback.
Behavior Shield
Stops ‘zero-day’ threats and unknown malware before virus definitions have been obtained.
Web Shield
Detects streaming web content better, via high-performance tuning.
avast! SafeZone
Opens a new (clean) desktop so that other applications don’t see what’s happening – perfect for banking, secure ordering/shopping – and leaves no traces once it’s closed.
AutoSandbox
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 workstation and its applications in a virtual environment – where any attacks are thus targeted (instead of your real PC).
OS supported:
-
Windows XP SP2+ 32-bit
-
Windows Server 2003, Vista, 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
-
only RTM versions are supported (Windows 7 SP1 RC is currently also supported)
-

Server
Integrated protection for file servers
Includes high-performance scanning, superior scalability, and support for clustering (even in active-active mode), and integrates perfectly with Microsoft SharePoint via Microsoft's own virus-scanning APIs.
SharePoint Server plugin
Tightly integrates with SharePoint 2003/2007/2010 Servers via Microsoft's own AV interfaces.
Low resource usage
Stays light on system resources, to reserve server resources for your business needs.
Management console
Web-based console
Comfortable dashboard lists all current problems, recommended solutions, and other actions. Accessible from everywhere via web browser, so additional applications are not needed to manage your network.
Remote installation and updates
Saves both time and costs associated with traditional deployment at individual end points. Full network administration is unnecessary for operation.
Auto-discovery of new/unprotected (or ‘rogue’) PCs
Notifies you when potentially unprotected/harmful PCs connect to your company network.
Ability to schedule/run scanning jobs
Schedule scanning at night or on weekends (whenever PCs are not needed).
Comprehensive reporting
Set your own parameters for what information gets reported and how often.
Real-time alerts
In case of infection or other undesirable activities, the central console receives immediate real-time alerts.
Others
64-bit support
Supports the 64-bit architecture platforms of Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Boot-time scanner
Scans your computer for infections before the OS can start to activate any viruses beneath it (now applies also to 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista).
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.
