The version 7 WebRep browser plugins provide greater protection against phishing sites, including heuristics detection of new phishing sites. When the program finishes, a comprehensive report is generated and, based on the program’s behavior, you are given a recommendation on how to treat it in the future.Įnabled by a single click of the mouse, it allows you to completely isolate the browser from the rest of the system – even if the browser gets hijacked, your system stays clean. Suspicious programs are now automatically placed inside the avast! Sandbox. The technology is also used internally, to help the scanning engine make more intelligent decisions.

Your database will be continuously updated with latest definitions.įileRep lets you know whether a file is safe before you open it – determined in part by how many people have the file and how new the file is. Now you get each virus signature sent to you in real-time via connection to the AVAST Virus Lab cloud, rather than needing to wait for a traditional database update.
