avast! antivirus 4.8 is a major technology upgrade to the avast! product line, which includes the addition of anti-spyware detection, certified by West Coast Lab's Checkmark process, and the implementation of anti-rootkit capabilities, all directly from within avast! antivirus.
Eduard Kucera, ALWIL Software a.s. CEO, said of the release, "While only an upgrade of avast!, this version represents a major evolution of the avast! technology. Many of our competitors charge extra for anti-spyware or anti-rootkit detection, or don't add the functionality at all. We don't think a partial solution in scanning is a solution at all." Mr. Kucera continues, "With the release of avast! antivirus 4.8, we have innovated again in the industry, by adding this functionality to the avast! core scan engine technology."
avast! antivirus 4.8 is available now for download from the http://www.avast.com website. The technology is available in avast! Home Edition (free for non-commercial home use), Professional Edition and avast! Professional Family pack.
Existing avast! Home Edition or Professional Edition users will be prompted to update their programs automatically free of charge.
avast! is the multi-award winning antivirus product line from ALWIL Software a.s., which is ICSA Labs certified, and Checkmark certified (for anti-spyware). avast! antivirus regularly receives the Virus Bulletin 100% award, for detection of 100% of in-the-wild viruses, and is an SC Awards winning product.
