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)
• Windows SBS 2011

OS not supported:

• Windows 2000
• Windows XP 64-bit (with any SP installed)
• Windows Server 2003 64-bit

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.

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.

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.
