Technology

Antivirus and anti-spyware engine

Innovative scanning engine protects against viruses, spyware, and other malicious agents.

Heuristics engine

Proactively finds malware undetectable with normal definitions and virus signatures.

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.

Multi-threaded scanning optimization

Allows the splitting of large files between cores, which accelerates the scanning process on new multi-core CPUs and makes avast! run even faster.

Smart virus definition updates

Incremental updating minimizes the size of regular update files.

Fast application of updates

New format for the virus definition file means faster updates and reduces demand on CPU/memory, for uninterrupted computing.
