Screenshoot :
Here are some key features of Avast! Pro Antivirus:
Core and detection:
Antivirus and anti-spyware engine - State of the art scanning engine
provides reliable protection against viruses, spyware and other forms of
malicious software.
Real time anti-rootkit protection:
Unique on access technology checks all kernel-mode drivers that the
operating system is loading for signs of rootkit behavior. This enables
even unknown rootkits to be detected and stopped before they can do any
damage.
avast! Sandbox:
Enables potentially exploitable programs (such as web browsers) and/or
suspicious executables to be run in a safe, virtual environment. The
avast! Sandbox is unique as it runs on both 32 and 64bit platforms.
avast! Community IQ:
Most samples we process come from sensors deployed throughout the avast!
community in the Behavior shield and anti-rootkit modules. This is a
unique source of data made possible only thanks to our huge user base.
Most of the collected samples are analysed by a number of automated
processes and only a small fraction of the samples need to be processed
manually by our virus analysts.
Code emulator:
When a suspicious executable is encountered (during both on-demand and
on-access scanning), avast! is able to emulate the program s code in an
isolated environment. The code emulator is used for two purposes. First,
it is used for generic unpacking. Secondly, it is used in the
heuristics engine. Technically, this is done using dynamic translation, a
method much faster than traditional emulation techniques.
Heuristics engine:
Starting with version 5.0, avast! features a new heuristics engine
designed to proactively detect malware undetectable with normal
definitions. The heuristics engine is able to cover both binary
(executable) and script malware.
Potentially unwanted programs detection:
New in version 5.0, avast! now detects potentially unwanted programs,
such as remote admin tools and commercial key loggers. Custom rules can
be set for dealing with these types of programs.
Scanning:
Boot-time scanner - Allows you to scan your computer for infections
before the operating system has started and before a virus can be
activated (32-bit operating systems only).
Command-line scanner - Enables you to run a scan directly from the command line.
Wake-up for scan - Microsoft Windows is woken from sleep or hibernation
mode, performs a scheduled scan, then returns back to sleep mode.
Scheduled scanning - Allows users to define the scan time and files to be scanned.
avast! Intelligent Scanner - Can reduce the number of required file
scans by up to 80 percent through a white list of proven safe
applications. Files identified as safe are not rescanned unless they
change.
Shields:
Behavior Shield - Monitors activity on your computer using a number of
sensors (file system, registry and network based) and reports/blocks any
suspicious behavior.
Behavioral Honeypots - avast! sensors identify and monitor suspicious
file activity on selected computers, automatically submitting files to
the Virus Lab for additional analysis.
File System Shield - Real-time scanning of opened/executed files.
Mail Shield - Scans all incoming/outgoing e-mails for malware. For MS
Outlook, a special plug-in is used. Other email clients are protected by
a generic POP3/IMAP4/SMTP proxy. New in version 5, the proxy also
supports scanning of SSL communication (gmail.com, sympatico.ca, ….)
Web Shield - Scans all visited web pages and checks all files, pages and
java scripts downloaded from the internet. Thanks to the Intelligent
Stream Scan feature, the Web shield doesn t slow down your web
browsing.
P2P Shield - Checks files downloaded using P2P programs. - ABC, Ares,
Azureus, BearShare, Bit Torrent, BitComet, BitLord, BitPump, CZDC++,
Direct Connect, eDonkey, eMule, iDC++, iMesh, Kazaa, Kceasy, LimeWire,
Morpheus, Opera s DC++, Overnet, Qtrax, Shareaza, SoulSeek, StrongDC++,
uTorrent, Vuze, WinMX, Winny2, Zultrax.
IM Shield - Checks files downloaded while using instant messaging or
“chat” programs. - AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), Gadu-Gadu, gaim/Pidgin,
Google Talk, ICQ, IM2 Messenger, Infium, Miranda, mIRC, MSN/Windows
Messenger, Odigo, PalTalk Messenger, Psi Jabber Client, QIP, QQ, SIM,
Skype, Tlen, Trillian, WengoPhone, XFire, Yahoo! Messenger.
Network Shield - Provides protection against network-based viruses. The
module has two main components: a URL blocker, designed to block
malicious URLs (as defined by the Virus Lab), and a lightweight
intrusion-detection system.
Script Shield - Detects malicious scripts hidden in internet web pages
and prevents them from running and hijacking or potentially causing
damage to your computer (Internet Explorer only, 32-bit only).
Updates:
Smart virus definition updates - Incremental updating system minimizes
the size of regular update files.
Fast application of updates - New format for the virus definition file
speeds up application of updates into avast! 5.0 and reduces demand on
CPU/memory, resulting in uninterrupted computer use.
New format for the virus definition file means faster updates and
reduces demand on CPU/memory, resulting in uninterrupted computer use.
Gaming:
Silent/Gaming Mode - New Silent/Gaming Mode automatically detects
full-screen applications and disables pop-ups and other on-screen
notifications without degrading security.
CPU optimization:
Optimized for latest Intel Core i7 CPUs - Critical sections of the
avast! scanning engine code have been optimized to deliver unrivaled
performance on the latest Intel chips.
Multi-threaded scanning optimization - avast! runs faster on new
multi-core CPUs. A new avast! feature allows the splitting of large
individual files between cores, accelerating the scanning process.
Green computing - Reduced demands on the disk drive result in lower
energy consumption.
Miscellaneous:
avast! iTrack - Real-time graphic scanning reports.
Graphical user interface - Easy to navigate graphical interface.
Automatic processing - Infected files are processed automatically without requiring user instructions.
Requirements:
Processor Pentium 3
128 MB RAM
200 MB of free hard disk space
