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.
Improved Remote Assistance
The Remote Assistance feature allows Avast users to connect and share
desktops with each other. This may be useful for technical support as well as
for general administrative purpose.
Improved Windows 10 compatible
Avast version 8 continues our support of the latest Windows platform.
Improved 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.
Improved 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 latest
definitions.
Improved File reputation system
Now with more than a 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. The technology is also
used internally, to help the scanning engine make more intelligent decisions.
Improved Behavior Shield
Our Behavior Shield now uses more sophisticated logic for determining
– with greater precision – whether any running processes are displaying any
unusual behavior.
Improved Avast Sandbox
Provides an extra layer of security for you to run your applications
in a virtual environment – where any attacks are thus contained instead of
attacking your real PC.
Integrated protection for File server
Includes high-performance scanning, superior scalability, and support
for clustering (even in active-active mode), and integrates perfectly with MS
SharePoint via Microsoft‘s own Virus Scanning APIs.
SharePoint Server plugin
Tightly integrates with SharePoint 2003/2007/2010/2013 Servers via
Microsoft’s own antivirus interfaces.
Low resource usage
Stays light on system resources.
