Avast! 5 home edition free

Belum lama ini avast antivirus merilis antivirus terbarunya yaitu avast! 5 home edition free.Banyak perubahan dan perbaikan di banding versi sebelumnya,avast! 4.8 home edition free.Berikut blogger review sampaikan beberapa keunggulan yg ditawarkan berdasarkan keterangan resmi situs avast  antivirus :

*Improved Antivirus and anti-spyware engine.
State of the art scanning engine provides reliable protection against viruses, spyware and other forms of malicious software.
*Avast! Intelligent Scanner.
-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! 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.
-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
*Silent/Gaming Mode.
Silent/Gaming Mode automatically detects full-screen applications and disables pop-ups and other on-screen notifications without degrading security.
*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.
-Green computing.
Reduced demands on the disk drive result in lower energy consumption.
-Avast! iTrack.
Real-time graphic scanning reports.
-Automatic processing.
Infected files are processed automatically without requiring user instructions.
*New Graphical user interface.
Easy to navigate graphical interface.
*Update.
-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
