Die kostenlose Freeware-Version des Virenscanners AVG Antivirus von GriSoft ist ausschließlich für den Einsatz
auf einem Heim-PC bestimmt, allerdings ist die Freeware auf englische Sprache beschränkt und bietet etwas
weniger Funktionalität als die kostenpflichtigen Varianten des Programms:
* AVG Free darf nicht und kann nicht auf Server-Betriebssystemen (z.B. Micorsoft Windows 2003 Server) installiert werden und kann nicht zum Scannen von Netzwerkverzeichnissen genutzt werden
* Die Planungsmöglichkeiten sind in der AVG Free Edition stark eingeschränkt (nur eine Aktualisierung pro Tag, nur ein automatischer Test pro Tag etc.)
* AVG Free Edition bietet keine weitergehenden Test-Optionen wie automatisches Heilen, Melden von Kennwort geschützten Archiven, Anpassung von Prioritäten des Testlaufes u.v.m
Freewar für Win 2000 - Vista

Grisoft bietet interessierten Nutzern eine kostenlose Betaversion des kommenden AVG 8 an. Die Software soll viele Verbesserungen mitbringen und komplett neu programmiert worden sein.
(http://www.heise.de/bilder/102117/0/0)
So enthält AVG 8 ein Modul zur Prüfung von Web- und Instant-Messenger-Traffic, den LinkScanner, der auf der Lösung der kürzlich von AVG übernommenen Exploit Prevention Labs basiert und schädlichen (Skript-)Code in Webseiten aufspürt und ausfiltert, sowie eine Anti-Rootkit-Komponente. Die neue Scan-Engine soll allgemein die Erkennungsrate verbessern und eine effektivere Heuristik enthalten – und dabei selbstverständlich schneller sein und weniger Ressourcen beanspruchen als die Vorgängerversion. Die neue Bedienoberfläche soll auch für weniger erfahrene Computernutzer leicht zu bedienen sein, für Experten gibt es jedoch auch erweiterte Einstellungen im Menü.
Wer sich die neue Softwareversion schon einmal ansehen möchte, kann sie nach der Registrierung auf der Beta-Seite des Herstellers herunterladen. Der Hersteller unterstützt Windows 2000, XP, Vista, die 64-Bit-Versionen von XP und Vista, Windows 2000 Server und sogar Windows Server 2003 sowohl in der 32- als in der 64-bittigen Version. Die Betaversion läuft bis zum 1. März dieses Jahres.

Die Funktionen im Überblick:
* kostenloser Schutz vor Viren und Spyware
* integrierte Update-Funktion

...und jährlich wieder neu registrieren, wenn ich nicht irre!
Ich habe letztens Avast auf einem betagteren WinME-Rechner installiert, nachdem es scheinbar das letzte AV-Tool ist, welches noch unter ME funktioniert.
Trotz weit besserer Hardware denn genannter Mindestvoraussetzung lief Avast nicht besonders performant...
...aber allemal besser als ohne AV!

Die Sicherheitssoftware AVG Internet Security ist ab sofort in der Version 9.0 verfügbar. Sie verfügt über einen optimierten Virenscanner sowie eine verbesserte Firewall. Insgesamt soll die Software schneller arbeiten und weniger Ressourcen verbrauchen.
In AVG Internet Security 9.0 kommt ein kombinierter Virus- und Spyware-Scanner zum Einsatz, der bis zu 50 Prozent schneller arbeiten soll als die Vorversion. Er kennzeichnet beim ersten Scandurchlauf alle Dateien als sicher oder unsicher. Sämtliche sicheren Dateien werden solange nicht mehr gescannt, bis sich die Dateiablagestruktur ändert. Dadurch verkürzen sich die Scanzeiten verspricht der Hersteller. Zudem soll sich dadurch die Bootdauer verkürzen und der Speicherbedarf sinken.
Die integrierte Firewall wurde von Grund auf neu entwickelt und soll deutlich unauffälliger arbeiten, so dass Nachfragen den Nutzer seltener erreichen. Die zugrundeliegende Datenbank unterscheidet zwischen sicheren und unsicheren Dateien, ob die Kommunikation freigegeben oder blockiert werden soll. Mit diesem Schritt wurde die Zahl der Dialogfenster mit Nachfragen um bis zu 50 Prozent reduziert.
Die Funktionen Resident Shield und Identitätsschutz wurden in die Firewall integriert und tauschen Malware-Informationen untereinander aus. Dadurch soll ein Diebstahl von Anmeldedaten vermieden werden. Außerdem werden Malware und Rootkits erkannt und entfernt, für die noch keine Signaturen vorliegen. Die neue Version bringt außerdem einen verbesserten Phishing-Schutz, der entsprechende Webseiten besser erkennen soll.
Der Installationsprozess wurde optimiert und soll Sicherheitsanwendungen anderer Anbieter erkennen und entfernen können, um Problemen vorzubeugen.
Die AVG Internet Security 9.0 für die Windows-Plattform ist ab sofort verfügbar und kostet als Jahreslizenz 39 Euro und als Zweijahreslizenz 58 Euro. Das kostenlose AVG Free 9.0 soll Mitte Oktober 2009 erscheinen.

AVG Technologies hat wie angekündigt die kostenlose Version AVG Free 9.0 für Privatanwender zum Download bereit gestellt. Im Vergleich zum kostenpflichtigen Anti-Virus Pro 9.0 respektive Internet Security 9.0 fehlen ihr die Verhaltenserkennung, ein spezieller Spielemodus, der erweiterte Anti-Rootkit-Schutz sowie der Surfschutz Web Shield. Die kürzlich freigegebene Version Internet Security 9.0 erreichte beim Schutz nach Messungen von AV-Test.org respektable Ergebnisse.
Mit der signaturbasierten Erkennung bekannter Viren, Würmer und Trojaner fand der Scanner unter Windows XP 97,64 Prozent der Schädlinge. Bei Ad- und Spyware warnte das Tool in 94 Prozent der Fälle. Es produzierte bei einem Scan über 600.000 sauberen Dateien keinen einzigen Fehlalarm. Die Desinfektion von infizierten PCs verlief in 24 von 25 Fällen erfolgreich, jedoch beseitigte der Scanner in vielen Fällen nicht alle Spuren – beispielsweise verblieb eine hosts-Datei in einem manipulierten Zustand.

Today is the big day—the day we (and many of you) have been waiting for—we are starting the release of the Version 5.0 products today. This is a pretty complicated roll-out so we are staging it. Today we will be releasing the new products (and the new website) in English and French. Over the next 10 days or so, we will be releasing the products and website in 12 additional languages (German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese). Other languages will then be added as we have them available.
Three products (Free Antivirus, Pro Antivirus, and Internet Security) and a new website are being released today. Even though we have expanded our product portfolio, our philosophy of having and promoting a top-notch free antivirus is paramount. This philosophy has enabled us to achieve 100 million users and we are continuing it. As you read through our new website and launch information, you will see that not only is the new free product easier to use and more visually appealing than the old product, it provides even more security protection. And it is still free and free from annoying pop-ups and requests for money.
These products are not minor updates from the existing products. They are all new. Some of the changes—such as the new user interface—are obvious. Some are not obvious at all (such as the new scanning engine). All-in-all we think they are a vast improvement from the current products—modern, light, fast, and very effective. For details, see the product detail pages on the new website.
Avast! Free Antivirus. This is our new flagship product and replaces Avast Home Edition (we changed the name to emphasize the product is free). We focus this product on users that use the internet for web browsing and email. If that is what you do on the internet, this is the product you need. We are very proud of this product and we stack it up against anyone else’s paid antivirus—in fact, we have recently started submitting this product in lieu of our paid products to all of the industry standard tests. Virus Bulletin, one of the most respected journals, recently called this product “….nothing short of a miracle” (see separate blog post). Google selected this product for incorporation in many of their Google Packs. You can download this product here: http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download.

Die Version 2011 des AVG-Virenscanners kommt laut Hersteller mit einem überarbeitetem Smart-Scanner, der im Vergleich zur Vorgängerversion dreimal schneller arbeiten soll. Dazu trägt bei, dass der Scanner nicht jedesmal alle Dateien neu scannt, sondern nur neu hinzugekommene. Ob sich alte Dateien geändert haben, stellt AVG anhand des gespeicherten Hash-Wertes fest.
Der in AVG integrierte LinkScanner zum Prüfen von URLs etwa in Ergebnisseiten von Suchmaschinen ist nun in der Lage, auch Short-URLs in sozialen Netzen wie Facebook und Twitter zu prüfen und bei Verdacht davor zu warnen. Laut AVG folgt der Linkscanner der URL in Echtzeit zum echten Ziel.
(http://www.heise.de/imgs/18/5/7/7/3/0/3/8ff9470b8bf5b492.png)
Darüber hinaus will der Hersteller die Benutzerfreundlichkeit erhöht haben. Unter anderem ist die Installation leichter und im "Game Modus“ soll beispielsweise der Scanner bei Multimedia-Anwendungen nicht mehr mit lästigen Popup-Nachrichten stören. Eine "Einklick-Reparatur"-Funktion verspricht bestimmte Softwareprobleme automatisch korrigieren zu können. Zudem bieten AVG 2011 eine überarbeitete Bedienoberfläche, die für Windows 7 sogar ein eigenes Widget für Scans und Updates mitbringt. In der Internet Security Suite soll die Firewall verbessert worden sein.
AVG Internet Security 2011 ist ab sofort verfügbar und kostet 39 Euro, den reinen Scanner Antivirus 2010 ohne Firewall gibt es für 28 Euro. Die kostenlose AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011 steht ebenfalls bereits zum Download bereit. Ihr fehlt im Vergleich zum kostenpflichtigen Virenscanner unter anderem der Identitätsschutz. Daneben bietet der Hersteller für kleine Unternehmen einen kostenlose Version der Small Business Edition 2011 für bis zu fünf Rechner an, die eine Remote-Admin-Konsole mitbringt. Für die Nutzung der Version ist allerdings eine Registrierung erforderlich.

This is technically identical to the previous beta build (6.0.1351) but the updater is now fixed. This means two things: a) you can update use the 6.0.1352 installer to do an update from any previous build (without losing your settings), and b) you will stay on the beta stream and so won't be offered "downgrade" to the previous official build (1289) anymore.

Avast! Free Antivirus ist ein kostenloser Viren- und Spywareschutz, der für geringsten Ressourcenbedarf konzipiert wurde. Nebst Basisfunktionen bietet er Schutz für Browser, E-Mail, Instant Messenger und P2P-Netzwerk.
Die Version 6 führt einige neue Funktionen ein. "AutoSandbox" ermöglicht die Ausführung von verdächtigen Programmen in einer abgeschotteten Umgebung. "avast! WebRep" stuft Websites nach ihrer Gefährlichkeit ein. Die Daten stammen aus den Virenlabors sowie aus der Community, die über ein Browser-Plugin abstimmen kann.

Der kostenlose und mittlerweile sehr beliebte Schutz für Android-Smartphones ist mittlerweile in Version 2 erschienen. Bei der avast! Mobile Security (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.mobilesecurity) von einem einfachen Antivirus-Programm zu sprechen, wäre falsch – denn das Tool hat mehr drauf.
(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/1262/unknown2460x800.jpg)
So findet man neben dem Virus-Scanner (führt On-Demand-Überprüfungen von allen installierten Anwendungen und der Speicherkarte durch, sowie On-Access-Überprüfungen von Anwendungen, wenn diese erstmals ausgeführt werden) eine Firewall, einen SMS- und Anruffilter (sogar mit Filterregeln basierend auf Uhrzeit und / oder Gruppen) und das wohl beste Stück in der Software, nämlich Anti Theft vor.
Dieses Tool ermöglicht es, das Smartphone remote zu orten oder zu löschen, sicherlich eine Funktion, die bald Standard auf der Android-Plattform wird. Gerade der Punkt Anti Theft wurde in der neuen Version der avast! Mobile Security stark verbessert, denn nun findet man den Spaß im Notfall auch webbasiert vor, das heißt, Anti Theft und seine Möglichkeiten lassen sich via Browser innerhalb des avast!-Accounts nutzen.
Des Weiteren finden wir in der neuen Version auch einen Network Meter vor, dieser zeigt den verbrauchten Traffic der einzelnen Apps auf Basis der Verbindung (WLAN, 3G & Roaming an). Weiterhin an Bord: ein Widget für den Homescreen und eine angepasste Oberfläche für Tablets. Tolle Funktionen, leicht zu bedienen und definitiv eine Installation wert. Meiner Meinung nach dürfte es sich bei der avast! Mobile Security um einer der besten Lösungen am Markt handeln.

We try really hard to deliver the best product with every avast! release however during the inhouse testing we cannot cover all the configurations which are used by our humongous community of users. Users participating in the Beta program are using the latest development build. They are enjoying the latest features which the rest of the world will see when the product is officially released and published. If you like living on the edge then the Beta program is right for you. And the last but not least reason why you should care - by reporting the problems of your computer and your configuration, during the Beta stage of program, you are helping to deliver a product which will work in your environment correctly without any unexpected hickups.
This program update contains the following major features:
* SecureLine - is a paid VPN service that both secures and anonymizes your internet connection on public or "open" (unsecured) Wi-Fi. Nobody can see who you are or what you are doing on the internet.

I'm glad to announce third public beta of an upcoming program update of avast! Free AV / Pro AV / Internet Security / Premier (version 8.0.1486).
We try really hard to deliver the best product with every avast! release however during the inhouse testing we cannot cover all the configurations which are used by our humongous community of users. Users participating in the Beta program are using the latest development build. They are enjoying the latest features which the rest of the world will see when the product is officially released and published. If you like living on the edge then the Beta program is right for you. And the last but not least reason why you should care - by reporting the problems of your computer and your configuration, during the Beta stage of program, you are helping to deliver a product which will work in your environment correctly without any unexpected hickups.
This program update contains the following major features:
* SecureLine - is a paid VPN service that both secures and anonymizes your internet connection on public or "open" (unsecured) Wi-Fi. Nobody can see who you are or what you are doing on the internet. Now, this beta contains fully functional trials, so enjoy it and let us know :-)
* Screen readers compatibility
* WebRep plugins have been redesigned to provide stable and effective solution in all supported browsers
* Software Updater improvements (including a way to turn off Software Update persistently)
* Shredder tool is showing a progress now
* Improved stability & performance
* Fixed glitches in UI
Known issues:
* Manual restart required on WinXP after Uninstallation
* WebRep - minor issues in Chrome if it detects phishing sites
* WebRep - might cause browsing delays in IE8
* WebRep - incorrect webrep installation in Safari

Here is the list of major changes/improvements:
Protection-related features and improvements
New DeepScreen technology allows avast! to make more intelligent decisions about new/unknown files. DeepScreen is a successor of AutoSandbox, now upgraded with some additional new technologies such as dynamic binary translation and dyna-gen announced earlier.
New Hardened mode for stricter lockdown scenarios. This is a new mode that is recommended especially for novice users (such as your grandmas): it automatically blocks execution of binaries that would normally be deepscreened (Moderate level) or even allows only execution of programs that are well-known to FileRep (Aggressive level). In a way, it brings the whitelisting concept to the consumer AV space.
Improved cloud scanning features and crowdsourced analysis of suspicious items. This includes new, optimized mechanism for collecting data from our sensors.
Continuously streaming update (CSU) technology for up-to-minute detections. This is not entirely new for v2014, but we now have really buttoned up the whole streaming update infrastructure to allow for reliable, uninterrupted service. We’re currently doing 350-400 updates a day, which equals to one update in roughly every 3.75 minutes, 24x7, 365 days a year. Streaming updates can now also carry more types of definitions than before.
Improved cleaning of malware. This applies to standard malware as well as rootkits and file infectors.
Other new features
All-new web browser plugins featuring comprehensive security ratings, protection against malware, phishing and typosquatting sites and Do-Not-Track (DNT) functionality for improved anonymity on the Internet. The DNT functionality doesn’t rely on the DNT HTTP headers; instead, it uses a proprietary technology that cannot be overridden by the servers.
All-new SafeZone for more secure online shopping and banking. Users can now switch back and forth between SafeZone and the regular browser with a single click. Also, online banking sites can be automatically opened in the SafeZone.
Rescue disk - allow users to create a bootable CD or flash disk with Avast on it. Great for cleaning.
Other improvements
A new, streamlined user interface for simplified navigation and more user comfort. The new UI is actually much simplified, and it’s probably the biggest change since version 5.0. We have also redefined the shields to the total number of three (File Shield, Web Shield, Mail Shield) and tweaked the action buttons (tiles) on the home page so that they’re now fully configurable.
Control and manage all protected devices directly from the Avast console. That is, the my.avast.com account is perfectly integrated in the UI to allow for management of all your devices running Avast.
Dramatic reduction in product size (full installer < 60MB, compared to today’s 120MB) and memory footprint. By default, install is done through a new stub installer though (which has the advantage of always installing the most up-to-date version).
Faster scanning thanks to optimized scanning engine (raw [in-memory] scans of EXE files are about 2x faster, while scans of text contents (e.g. web pages and scripts) are up to 10x faster).
Completely rewritten setup/updater that makes the installation and upgrade process faster, easier and more reliable
Firewall has been redesigned from scratch to allow for better compatibility with latest Windows, better performance and full support for IPv6 (although its UI hasn’t really changed).
New licensing system allows for much easier management of product licenses. The system relies on activation codes, and these can be added seamlessly by simply clicking a link.
Various improvement in the Software Updater and Browser Cleanup tool.

Whats new :
GrimeFighter -- performs a scan to identify ways to speed up, clean up, and better protect your PC. GrimeFighter will run the scan and show you where you can improve the performance of your PC. It then sedates your PC and performs all of the cleaning functions. This need feature is a result of our acquisition of Jumpshot earlier this year.
SavePrice -- we added a new function to the browser plugins that helps you save money when you are shopping online. It finds better prices for items you are searching for. At the moment, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are supported. Internet Explorer should be supported in the near future.
avast! tutorial -- for users who run avast! trials, a tutorial is now available explaining all the great things avast! can do to protect your PC
Stream Filtering -- a completely rewritten function that is part of the new Web Shield launched in v2014. The three main components of Stream Filtering are a rewritten scanner, new kernel mode inspection techniques, and a new HTTP parser. All of these functions lead to more effective detections of threats
Firewall -- most importantly, the previous issues with Java have been solved. The firewall should be more stable and with better compatibility with other network applications

Whats new: >>
Finally fully rewritten the WebShield so that it now doesn't work as a "transparent proxy" anymore. I.e. no more routing of all HTTP traffic through the AvastSvc.exe process - which should hopefully result in no more conflicts with various firewalls (especially older firewalls that can't handle transparent proxies) and overall improvement in stability and performance. Besides that (and this is really exciting) it allows us to see and detect more threats (the original webshield had some limitations).
The Firewall component (in IS and Premier) has also changed dramatically. Made it more compatible with other applications, such as Java and various VPN services.
The installer/updater has been improved to allow more reliable installation in case of infected machines. The installer is now protected by the avast self-defense driver from the very beginning, making it harder for active malware to kill it (if you have problems starting the installer in the first place, it may be a good idea to try to rename the executable to a random name first)
The changes in the File System Shield's driver should result in faster performance, especially in the copy files and install programs scenarios.
We have also beefed up the Browser Cleanup tool to be able to rip off even the more stubborn toolbars and other "PUBEs" (Pontentially Unwanted Browser Extensions
Also fixed a whole bunch of bugs reported in the last couple of months. Especially if you encountered a problem with R1, try this new version, chances are that the problem is resolved there.

Die Browser-Toolbar, die unter anderem mit der Antivirensoftware auf den Rechner gelangt, schaut dem Nutzer beim Einkaufen über die Schulter und baut Konkurrenzangebot in die Shop-Seiten ein.
Die Browser-Toolbar des Antivirenherstellers Avast ist seit kurzem mit einer Funktion namens "SafePrice" ausgestattet, die dem Nutzer beim Online-Shopping über die Schulter schaut: Ist man zum Beispiel bei Amazon unterwegs, meldet die Funktion jeden Seitenaufruf an einen Avast-Server. Dieser überprüft, ob es sich bei der aufgerufenen Adresse um eine Produktseite handelt. Ist dies der Fall, versucht SafePrice über eine Preisvergleichsdienst herauszufinden, ob das Produkt irgendwo günstiger erhältlich ist und versucht den Nutzer gegebenenfalls zur Konkurrenz zu locken.

Wer angeblich mit dem Trojaner "Android:Banker-BW" infiziert ist, kann die Warnung unter Umständen getrost ignorieren. Der Avast-Virenscanner hat Moxie Marlinspikes Krypto-Messenger TextSecure fälschlicherweise als Malware eingestuft.
(http://2.f.ix.de/imgs/18/1/2/6/2/4/0/9/avast-15301dccb57d99a5.png)
Der Android-Virenscanner von Avast hat den Krypto-Messenger TextSecure mehrere Tage fälschlicherweise für einen Virus gehalten. heise Security liegen Anfragen von Lesern vor, deren Android-Geräte vermeintlich mit dem Trojaner "Android:Banker-BW" infiziert sind. Zumindest war dies die Meinung von Avast Mobile Security, einem Virenscanner für Mobilgeräte.
Bereits Ende vergangener Woche gab TextSecure-Entwickler und Krypto-Experte Moxie Marlinspike über Twitter bekannt, dass es sich dabei um einen Fehlalarm handelt. Auch bei ihm meldeten sich besorgte Nutzer der App-Konstallation aus Avast und TextSecure. Inzwischen hat Avast das Problem nach eigenen Angaben durch die Korrektur einer fehlerhaften Virensignatur behoben.
Anfang des Jahres war das Schutzprogramm aufgefallen, weil es alle Apps des Nutzers als Malware einstufte. Kurz darauf hat heise Security die Avast-App dabei erwischt, wie sie sämtliche Webseiten, die der Nutzer aufruft, an den Hersteller überträgt – einschließlich URL-Parameter, die schützenswerte Daten wie Session-IDs enthalten können.

Wie erst jetzt bekannt wurde, klaffte in der AVG-Toolbar eine ernste Sicherheitslücke. Präparierte Websites konnten dadurch unter Umständen Code in den Rechner einschleusen.
Das US-Cert hat nach einer angemessenen Wartezeit (Responsible Disclosure) Details über ein vom CERT-Mitarbeiter Will Dormann entdecktes Sicherheitsproblem in der AVG Secure Search Toolbar (auch als Safeguard bekannt) herausgegeben. Die Toolbar bringt ein ActiveX-Control für den Internet Explorer namens ScriptHelperApi mit, dessen Funktionen laut CERT bis vor kurzem unsicher waren, weil sie von beliebigen Websites angesprochen werden konnten.
Das hätte unter Umständen dazu geführt, dass beim Aufruf einer präparierten Site beliebiger Code mit dem Rechten des Nutzers ausgeführt wird. Zu allem Übel sorgte der Toolbar-Installer auch noch dafür, dass die Protected Mode genannte Sandbox-Funktion des IE für das ActiveX-Control abgeschaltet wurde. Das Problem wurde laut CERT bereits Ende Mai mit AVG Secure Search 18.1.7.598 und AVG Safeguard 18.1.7.644 gelöst. Wer noch eine alte Version auf seinem Rechner installiert hat, sollte sie umgehend auf den aktuellen Stand bringen.

Changelog
The UI hasn't changed a lot, but internally we are delivering you a lot of new for this new major version of AVAST:
HTTPS scanning:
Now, we are able to detect and decrypt TLS/SSL protected traffic in our Web-content filtering component. We are using our own generated certificates that are added into the Root Certificate store in Windows and also into major browsers. This feature will protect you against viruses coming through HTTPs traffic as well as adding compatibility for SPDY+HTTPS/ HTTP 2.0 traffic. You can tune/disable this feature in the settings section.
Home Network Security:
Scan your home network for vulnerabilities (wifi status, connected devices, router settings, factory passwords, etc.). This is quite a new approach as we are trying to discover potential problems not isolated on the particular device only, but in the entire network of devices you use or connect to the Internet from.
SecureDNS (this feature is active in the paid versions only):
We are introducing a new provider which guards against unprotected DNS/DNS hijack on a router/client (including unsecured networks, public ones, etc.).
Smart Scan:
Integrated all on demand scans into one (Antivirus, Software updates, Home Network, GrimeFighter). One scan, different results and recommendations.
New Support System:
Easy contact for paid users to submit a ticket with all info included automatically. Improved knowledge base for free users. Help is completely online and is more up to date.
General bugfixing:
This covers a lot of stability & performance changes in all components (but the main focus was traditionally on the network & engine components).

Whats new:>>
AVAST NG:
A hardware based virtualization solution capable of running each Windows process in standalone safe virtualized environment (VM) and fully integrated to your desktop. Each process is executed in its own instance of VM, which means totally isolated from your other applications. This feature is now powering the Avast DeepScreen, resulting in better detection. The technology will also eventually power the Sandbox and SafeZone components (although it does not now).
Note: In this beta build, not all detections are 100% operable yet, so I wouldn't recommend using the new DeepScreen for detection testing for now. It will be 100% operable in the next couple of weeks - we will certainly let you know when is the good time to start testing with your malware collections.
Note 2: Avast NG can be installed only on physical machine, does not work in VM. It requires HW virtualization enabled.
GrimeFighter Free:
GrimeFighter will offer free cleaning of junk files and tuning of system settings. These tasks are performed by our Zilch and Torque minions. Other minion functions remain as paid-for features.

Die neue Ausgabe des Antiviren-Programms von Avast testet auch Router auf bekannte Sicherheitslücken und schwache Passwörter.
Die 2015er Kollektion von Avast überprüft nicht nur den Rechner, sondern auch den Router. Dabei soll sie unter anderem Sicherheitslücken und schwache Passwörter aufspüren. Nach Angaben der Herstellers untersucht das Programm etwa, ob bekannte Sicherheitslücken im Router klaffen oder ob seine Dienste über das Internet erreichbar sind. Darüber hinaus kann die 2015er Generation nun auch Malware in HTTPS-Traffic aufspüren.
Wie gehabt bietet das Unternehmen eine kostenlose Version an, die alle grundlegenden Funktionen mitbringt. Zudem gibt es drei kostenpflichtige Varianten: Avast Pro für 35 Euro pro Rechner/Jahr, Internet Security für 40 Euro und Premier für 50 Euro.
heise Security hat ergründet, wie Avast 2015 funktioniert und dabei einige Überraschungen erlebt:

Der Virenwächter Avast hat DLL-Dateien von Windows als gefährlich eingestuft und in Quarantäne verschoben. Danach liefen bei betroffenen Nutzern einige Programme nicht mehr.
Ein missglücktes Signatur-Update des Antirviren-Scanners Avast sorgte dafür, dass verschiedene Systembibliotheken von Windows als Kryptik-PFA-Trojaner klassifiziert und aus dem Weg geschafft wurden. Von dem Problem berichten mehrere Nutzer im Avast-Forum, die anschließend Anwendungen wie etwa TeamViewer nicht mehr nutzen konnten.
Die Entwickler bestätigten das fehlgeschlagene Signatur-Update. Dabei sollen Nutzer von der Avast-Version 8 und früher betroffen gewesen sein; aktuell ist derzeit Version 10. Nutzern mit Problemen empfiehlt der Entwickler ein Update der Signaturen durchzuführen. Derartige Fehlalarme sind bei Antiviren-Lösungen keine Seltenheit und kommen immer wieder mal vor.

Today we unusually released 2 beta versions in order to test a new mechanism that will allow to avoid some compatibility issues in the future. For this beta testing we set the rule that machines with Windows XP will be able to update only to version 2228, all other machines will update as usual to the latest version 2229.
So please test if you machines on XP are on version 2228 and Vista+ on 2229 and both reporting as latest version. Don't worry we will remove the limitation for Windows XP machines in the next beta version, and we also won't limit XP users in the future. This is just for testing purposes.

Damit AVG Antiviren-Anwendungen auch weiterhin kostenlos anbieten kann, will der Anbieter künftig Nutzerdaten an Werbetreibende verkaufen.
AVG kann Nutzerdaten, wie etwa den Browser- und Suchverlauf, an Dritte verkaufen. Das legt die überarbeitete Datenschutzerklärung nahe, die laut AVG am 15. Oktober in Kraft tritt.
Die gesammelten Daten sollen dem Anbieter zufolge anonymisiert sein und keine Rückschlüsse auf Nutzer zulassen. AVG könne aber schon länger Daten wie den Suchverlauf erfassen und verkaufen, nur haben sie das in älteren Versionen der Datenschutzerklärung nicht so eindeutig formuliert.
Eine AVG-Sprecher erklärte gegenüber dem Magazin Wired, dass sie aktuell noch keine anonymisierten Nutzerdaten an Dritte verkaufen. In naher Zukunft könnte das aber der Fall sein. AVG will so sein Angebot an kostenloser Antiviren-Software finanzieren.
Dem Sprecher zufolge sollen Nutzer entscheiden können, ob sie an diesem Programm teilnehmen wollen oder nicht. Die Funktionalität der Anwendungen soll davon unbeeinflusst bleiben. Um Geld in die Kassen zu spülen sind auch Abomodelle oder Werbeeinblendungen vorstellbar, erläutert der Sprecher.

Changelog
NEW: Passwords - Avast can now manage your passwords and generate strong passwords for you. Just one password to remember:
checks your passwords security
stores your passwords securely
includes browser extensions for easier logging in and form filling
generates strong passwords
NEW: SafeZone browser - Replaced the SafeZone for safer shopping and banking:
Pay Mode: runs automatically on banking sites (This isolates the session and protects it from possible keyloggers or other malicious software secretly lurking on your computer. With Pay Mode you can perform all your financial transactions in peace, without fear of your password or other personal details being stolen. Pay Mode can be also turned on manually directly via browser UI.)
Ad Blocker:The browser comes with built-in Ad Blocker that blocks all those annoying online ads and banners
Video Downloader: Another cool feature is built-in Video Downloader that allows you to download online videos and store them to your hard drive. Now we support just limited amount of sites (youtube, vimeo, stream, metacafe, yahoo and some others)
HTTPS scanning while preserving the original certificate
NEW: User interface:
More space for content, easy control
NEW: Feedback possible directly from program:
Report bugs, feature requests and other suggestions easier
IMPROVED: Home network security:
Now detects more router vulnerabilities and shows more details

Changes from V2016 Beta 2:
- Possibility to log in more Avast accounts
- Online security plugin for Firefox is now signed and works in Firefox 42
- Online setup - better recovery if reboot appears during installation
- Passwords extension now works in SafeZone browser
- WebShield HTTPS Scanning: We introduced a new method of HTTPs scanning. It is used in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. It works without changing the certificates with the help of kernel mode hooking. The security parameters and certificates are verified by the browser itself, including checks for untrusted or revoked certificates. Traditional MITM approach is still used for IE and Edge, and is also reactivated when required for particular browser.
You can check the functionality of HTTPS scanning by checking Statistics window in Avast UI or by visiting http://www.eicar.org/85-0-Download.html.

Release Notes
Hello, please do welcome Avast version 19.7
(19.7.2388)
What's exciting here that we have officially launched the new Antivirus portfolio, effectively sun-setting Pro, Internet Security, and Premier while replacing it with Premium Security. In a nutshell, this means that from now on, all paid AV features are available to all AV customers (yey!) and there are no more paid AV tiers. And we have this in Single and Multi-Device flavors. Multi-Device subscription is supporting platforms: Win, Mac OS, iOS and Android.
Of course, in reality, it is a bit more complicated than that - users would be migrated in waves during several upcoming weeks - but we're getting closer to a neat and tidy AV portfolio.
The whole license migration matrix is a beast, but these examples should cover the majority of cases:
Avast Premier users (all seat variants) -> Avast Premium Security Multi-Device
Avast Internet Security 1 Seat -> Avast Premium Security
Avast Internet Security 3+ Seats -> Avast Premium Security Multi-Device
Avast Pro 1 Seat -> Avast Premium Security
Avast Pro 3+ Seats -> Avast Premium Security Multi-device
If you want to check the status of your license, head to My Subscriptions and check your subscription (for multi-device variants, this word needs to be mentioned specifically in the subscription name - if it is not, it means it was not yet migrated).
We aim to support new program versions of IS and PRO for several upcoming months - we would stop releasing new versions sometimes in early 2020.
Hope you do welcome this change as we do.
Some of the other features/fixes in this release:
We can now automatically shut down your PC after a Full, Targeted, or Custom scan
Quick Scans can now be added to your custom scans and scheduled for any time you’d like
Added an option to Enable/Disable QUIC scanning in Settings
Separating consents for Google Analytics and Jumpshot tracking in Settings
Fixed issue in explorer scan where toaster was displayed just on the first occasion
Fixed memory leak in aswStm.sys driver
Fixed not working mail messages in Mozilla Thunderbird
Fix of occasional blocking of MS Windows 10 update by self-defense
Fix of problems with nested virtualization (VBox/VMware)Affected Products and Release Date

Release Notes
Hi all. Please welcome Avast 20.5.
We've packed it with a lot of new stuff:
Introducing Remote Access Shield - Enjoy even stronger protection against hackers. This new feature lets you choose who can remotely access your computer and lets you block the rest. (Premium Security users only)
Ransomware Shield is now free - We’re now offering this feature to Avast Free Antivirus users to maximize their ransomware protection
Easier USB drive protection - We’ll now ask you to scan USB drives when you plug them into your computer. (You can also turn this off in your notification settings)
Improved taskbar icon - There’s no need to keep your antivirus open during scans. You can now see your scan progress from the Avast taskbar icon
Better botnet protection - Web Shield is even better about stopping malware from connecting to malicious servers
Things to note:
We are no longer releasing new versions of Internet Security and Pro. Every Pro/IS user updated to 20.5 version will end up on Premium Security to enjoy the full feature-set of paid version.
Teaser for our dedicated forum users: We've added support for scanning Google QUIC protocol in Webshield, though it's enabled only for some users at the moment. We plan to full scale it in the upcoming version.
...and from about 110 other smaller or larger tasks, we pick here the fixes of:
corner cases when Firewall was consuming too much CPU in correlation with VPS requests
Cleanup install detection upon switching to x64 version (Congrats to Cleanup team and sorry when the app was being offered to you even if you had it already)
bugs in protecting passwords stored in Firefox and Chrome that were installed after Avast AV
some RescueDisk failures when being created on USB
UI glitches for enabling/disabling shield in Protection section

What is new:
moving configuration from files to registry keys to improve related performance and reliability

accessibility support for blind/impaired people in setup - part 1 (the most of texts in setup should be read by screen reader app if it is installed (NVDA, JAWS) but task is not complete.

The latest news:
Signing in via Google or Facebook - If you choose one of these to sign in, we’ll now redirect you to their websites instead of doing it inside of our app
Fixed shield statuses - The on/off statuses for Password Protection and Remote Access Shield are now properly reflected in your UI. (Avast Premium Security only)
Improved performance - Your antivirus now runs even smoother thanks to tighter integrations with the Windows registry and boot optimizations
Something extra for out beta users:
In the latest 20.7 BETA version, you can now try GUI in the updated design (based on our Avast Omni edition). Just go to Settings -> General -> Troubleshooting -> Theme. Please note that some UI parts are still in the original design and that there are improvements yet to be made in navigation. Though we would like to hear your opinion in this early stage.
From 100+ tasks related to this release, here’s some highlights of things we’ve fixed and improved:
The incorrect yellow dashboard state after a new version was released, even though auto-updates were on
The incorrect "expired" dashboard status after an upgrade from free to paid [AVG only]
SmartScan stopping caused UI freezing in some cases
Firewall Public mode was not blocking ICMP responses while scanning, but now it does
Fixed impact of new CEF on IPM content and IDP
Fixes in restoring settings from backup files
Changing language needed you to restart, which was not intended
The incorrect handling of file size in virus chest was preventing more files to be added
Rescue disk now checks for USB drive size

Rescue Disk improvements - Windows 7 users can celebrate knowing this feature works for them again, and we've improved its performance and made sure it properly cleans up related .DLLs for all users
Bug stomping - Just the usual bug fixes that keep your antivirus going strong
Here are some examples of the bugs we stomped:
Restart PC dialogue no longer ignores the "Next century" reminder. (Just wait and see…)
Fixed driver incompatibility with HVCI (AV installation now works when Windows Core Integrity memory isolation is on)
Cleaned our code to remove obsolete pre-alpha and legacy licensing components
UI now opens properly on scan results after an Explorer scan finishes (was not behaving properly with UI minimized)
Fixed a crash that happened in log viewer when logs were too large
Improved service stability by properly terminating some thread-hooks
We now allow removing services without exe/dll file (fileless service)
Got rid of unnecessary reboot required after specific types of detections
...and loads of others

Changelog
What is new:
Multi-detection fix: If you stumbled upon more detections at once, we wouldn't show each one in separate alert window anymore. Alert dialogs will be grouped into one, so there is no pop-up overload. Items are grouped by shield. (This applies to auto-mode, in Ask mode, we still show it one by one)
New categories and description: Our detections are now grouped in various categories of threats and each alert dialog contains a short description of corresponding category (you can find this in Details section). This will also enable us to continuously turn on PUP (potentially unwanted programs) detections ON by default for our users.
AlertID: We have placed a small numeric identifier in the footer of the detection dialog, so we can easily search the particular detection in our database and identify it based on the screenshot alone. We are often presented with snapshots from our users but up until now these screens didn't contain sufficient information.
What was fixed:
not correct information in cyber capture detection dialog
detections by identity protection on drivers with custom label
missing focus (on top visibility) for identity protection dialogs
internet connection satus in firewall details was not always properly displayed
shell extension (scan in explorer) does not scan all files the link (.lnk) files are pointing to
detection dialogs and toasters when higher DPI (dots per inch) is used (screen resolution settings)
incorrect license/subscription details/update shown when there is a change

Major public announcements
Better scan performance — We’ve made a lot of small performance improvements to various security components (running on background)
Improved Rescue Disk — We’ve added a portable web browser to our Rescue Disk so you can search the web even when Windows isn’t working
Fewer distractions — We no longer show pop-up messages when your antivirus is open
Passive Mode fix — We’ve fixed a bug that would sometimes disable Passive Mode soon after it was turned on
Bug-fix and improvement highlights for hardcore fans:
Because of an expiring MS certificate for signing drivers, we had to block updates and installations of users with outdated/unpatched versions of Win7 (up to KB3033929). Unless they update their OS, they will stay on 21.2 version.
Implemented Countdown (auto-close) of Cyber Capture dialogs
Additional Rescue Disk improvements (postponing toolkit installation until MSI installation finishes, adding retries to downloading RCD files, etc.)
Fixed cases when both our Firewall and Windows firewall were running simultaneously
Fixed issue where the restart dialog didn’t appear in Silent Mode
Fixed issues where our uninstall survey was not displayed
Fixed issue when the UI didn’t show the correct state of IDP (Behavioral Shield) features
Some of those scan optimizations mentioned in our public release notes include: Startup, registry callbacks, behavioral events, on-exec DLLs scanning, identified opportunities to skip some scans, etc.)

Changelog
Major public announcements
Improved Wi-Fi Inspector — We now scan for even more types of threats, and our improved results screen allows you to better understand what we’ve found thanks to clearer explanations, better organization, and improved tips for resolving detected problems
No more popups in streams — Good news, Windows 10 users! Our antivirus popups will no longer appear in your screen recordings and streams
Enhanced exceptions — Exceptions for scans and shields are now easier to add, customize, and maintain
More installation options — You now have more installation options when activating subscriptions that contain multiple apps
Other notable improvements and new functionalities:
Family Sharing — Premium Security (Multi-device) users can now share their subscriptions with their family members. Subscriptions can be shared across Windows and Android devices (Mac and iOS to come later)
We now recognize available (but not activated) products — We’ll no longer show offers for apps that users bought but haven’t yet installed
We’ve added Detection IDs to Behavior Shield dialogs — Other shields have already had this, but now Behavior Shield also gets a unique ID so our Support and Thread Labs teams can better identify reported threats from screenshots that customers send us
Added Sandbox and backend analysis parallelization to CyberCapture to minimize interruptions to our users while they interact with suspicious apps
We’re now applying formatting (time, calendar, etc.) of Windows regional settings in our UI
Bug fixes for:
Web content opened in the app-cart instead of browser
Rescue Disks that booted in Windows Preinstall Environment triggered a restart [Win7]
Sensitive Data Shield was not active after leaving Passive Mode through Settings
The last file from the multi-selection was omitted
Manually invoked Passive Mode did not require restart, caused some components (like CyberCapture) to misbehave
Web Shield samples were not detected after the URL was removed from the exceptions
...and many others

Major public announcements
Fewer interruptions in fullscreen — When you’re running another app fullscreen, our antivirus will no longer open on top and interrupt you. We apologize if this happened to you! (And don’t worry, threat warnings will still appear, so you’ll always know about malware even while watching your favorite film)
Introducing Webcam Shield reminders — If you’ve configured Webcam Shield to automatically block or allow apps, we’ll now remind you of this when an app tries to access your webcam so you don’t sit around wondering why your webcam isn’t working. (For Premium Security only)
Updated privacy policies — We’ve updated our General Privacy Policy and other connected privacy policies. You can find them here
Bug fixes for:
Software Updater is giving us a headache these days - We had to temporarily remove this feature from Smart Scan to patch a few bugs, but users can still find and use it from their menu. We’ll be slowly rolling it back out to Smart Scan, so if you don’t see it there yet, please wait a few more days
We’ve updated our UI rendered CEF to a new version (chromium 90.0.4430.93) to patch known security flaws
Fixed issue with creating Rescue Disk for UEFI format (next to BIOS)
Other Rescue Disk improvements: fixed a bug that prevented Rescue Disk from starting, improved keyboard controls, etc.
Fixed a tray icon error that showed an issue notification despite everything being OK
Fixed a Firewall issue where driver aswNetHub.sys caused a BSOD
Fixed a leak of GDI objects
Fixed the AvastClear utility, which didn’t properly remove the antivirus from Windows Security Centre
...and a lot of other improvements we can’t disclose

What's new
We're very excited to announce that Firewall will soon become a free feature in Avast Antivirus. It's very satisfying for us to realize all the network knowledge and expertise that was put into building our proprietary firewall will be materialized in a feature available to so many users around the world — strengthening our mission to provide amazing protection against cyber threats worldwide.Of course, the release of such a critical feature won't happen instantly for the user base as a whole. It will take us a few weeks to continuously roll it out for everyone. For now, all of our dedicated beta users will have a chance to enable it by themselves. You can do so from the post update screen (that will be shown once you get an 21.6 update) or through settings (Menu -> Settings -> Firewall). Free firewall will feature:
- Brand new UI (compared to our current one)
- Automatic profile selection (with the option for the user to override it, of course)
- Application overview / control (overview of apps that actively use network/internet plus their current network usage)
- Revamped ask mode (ability to enable/disable specific connections originating from the app)
- Status log (you will clearly see every app and device that was blocked by our Firewall, as well as why it was blocked)
- Customizable rules for "hardcore users". We will keep an advanced, premium firewall tier as well, which will have extra protection layers of: ARP spoofing detection, Port Scan Detection and Leak Protection for public networks.
There are some known issues with this first public version:
- FW is running even when you enable Passive mode
- FW is installed when you're upgrading from Free to Premium even when you uninstalled it manually from the Free product previously
- FW rules can be deleted even when they are "locked" in the UI (it's just an UI glitch, the core rules won't actually be deleted)
- FW blocks SMB shares, printers, networks shares and network drivers after additional installation into the Free AV — the current workaround is to change the network configuration to private/disable FW
- FW might block some outgoing windows traffic
- SmartScan sometimes incorrectly reports the Firewall's state.
Most of the above should be fixed by the upcoming beta release in a few days. Please, do play with this new tool of ours and let us know your feedback. Thanks!

Public announcements:
Useful Smart Scan notifications — We’ve fine-tuned the behavior of Smart Scan with improved initialization steps, and ensured that you receive proper notifications about scheduled scans.
Better feature shortcuts — We’ve changed the main tile navigation so Avast Antivirus features are easier to distinguish from shortcuts to other Avast products.

Fixed cases of infinite loader when turning off some of core shield via Settings
Fixed support tool (collection logs and info for customer support and debugging) that was not properly grabbing AV status and subscription status in Rescue Disk, plus it now reports WSC status

Release Notes
Public announcements
Big changes to Firewall! — We've redesigned our Firewall, improved its protection, and made it free for everyone to use. If you've got Avast Free Antivirus, you'll find your new Firewall in your Protection menu. It's already turned on and protecting you. If you've got Avast Premium Security, we've upgraded you to "Premium Firewall" to also prevent your computer from leaking sensitive info to the network and warn you if a malicious device tries to intercept your data or scan your computer via open ports.
Unresolved threat reminders — We'll now remind you about any unresolved threats found by scan you may not have seen before your computer was last shut down
Silent Mode fix — We've fixed a bug that prevented you from turning off Silent Mode if Do Not Disturb Mode was on
Some more clarification about the new Firewall. Only a smaller portion of users will actually get it enabled in 21.7 release as we still want to observe it and test it a bit more before major fullscale on all userbase (of course, only those users who will actually get it are informed about it through our product on their device). You can expect the full-scale to happen in 5-8 weeks. When it comes to upcoming beta releases, all of those will already have it enabled in full.
Bug fixes and improvements for:
Fixed an issue where ASB couldn't connect to the internet when installed along with Opera
Fixed cases where detection dialogs were not shown for detections when apps were full-screen
We've updated our UI renderer CEF to the latest version (ver. 4472) and plugged some security holes along the way
Fixed an unpleasant behavior where some code components were invoked twice after the in-app cart was closed
Fixed cases where licenses were not properly delivered with sole internet proxy
Fixed an issue where the restart dialog was not shown when Do Not Disturb Mode was active
Fixed an issue where clear utility did not start properly for systems that lacked SSE3 support
Added proper context for users stuck on version 21.2 due to outdated OS and provided instructions how to update from Win7
