Core Technologies |
Antivirus and anti-spyware engine  Innovative scanning engine protects against viruses, spyware, and other malicious agents.
Real-time anti-rootkit protectionPrevents stealth malware (‘rootkits’) that, when loaded by the computer’s OS, are invisible to ordinary scanners.
Stops hackers, using heuristic and behavioral analysis and a white list of safe applications. 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! WebRep  Provides website reliability and reputation ratings according to community-provided feedback.
avast! CommunityIQOur 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.
Because of avast! CommunityIQ, avast! has discovered 89,082 infected websites and protected 123,176,306 people from visiting them in the last 30 days. |
