User interface (UI)

The Avast UI has been redesigned to keep up with modern navigation styles. Newbies will find it easy to use, while geeks are still able to access advanced customizable features.

 Windows 10 compatible

Avast version 8 continues our support of the latest Windows platform.

Microsoft Credential Guard and Microsoft Device Guard is not compatible with our End Point Protection line of products. We recommend using the lightweight, cloud-based Avast for Business instead.

 Antivirus and anti-spyware engine

Our award-winning scanning engine protects against viruses, spyware, and other malicious agents, now with a new algorithm that is based on machine-learning, which can process new-virus data in milliseconds rather than hours.

 Streaming, real-time virus database updates

Each virus signature comes to you in real-time via connection to the Avast Virus Lab cloud, rather than needing to wait for a traditional virus-database update. Your database will be continuously updated with the latest definitions.

 File reputation system

Now with more than 1 billion unique files in our cloud, Avast 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. This technology is also used internally, to help the scanning engine make more intelligent decisions.

 Behavior Shield

Our Behavior Shield now uses more sophisticated logic for determining – with greater precision – whether any running processes display any unusual behavior.

 Avast Sandbox

Provides an extra layer of security for you to run your applications in a virtual environment – where any attacks are contained instead of attacking your real PC.
