Key features:
File Shield
It scans programs and files stored on your computer in real time for malicious threats before allowing them to be opened, run, edited, or saved. If malware is detected, File Shield prevents the program or file from infecting your computer.
Web Shield
It scans the data that is transmitted while browsing the Internet in real time to prevent malware, such as malicious scripts, from downloading and running on your PC.
Postal shield
It scans your incoming and outgoing email messages in real time for malicious content, such as viruses. The scan only applies to messages sent or received using mail management software (email clients such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird). If you access your webmail account through a web browser, your computer is protected by additional Avast shields.
Behavior Shield
It monitors all processes on your PC in real time for suspicious behavior that may indicate the presence of malicious code. Behavior Shield works by detecting and blocking suspicious files based on their similarity to other known threats, even if the files are not yet added to the virus definition database.
CyberCapture
It detects and analyzes rare, suspicious files. If you try to run such a file, CyberCapture locks the file from your PC and sends it to the Avast Threat Lab, where it is analyzed in a secure virtual environment.
Firewall
It monitors all network traffic between your computer and the outside world to protect you from unauthorized communication and intrusions. A firewall can prevent sensitive data from leaving your computer and can block hacker attempts to break in.
SmartScan
It scans for malware, outdated applications, dangerous settings, and suspicious add-ons.
Sandbox
It allows you to browse the web or run applications in a completely isolated, secure environment. When you run an application
Sandbox stores your activity and web content, preventing damage to your PC. This is useful when you want to run suspicious or untrusted applications without risk.
Wi-Fi Inspector
It scans your network for vulnerabilities and identifies potential security issues that open the door to threats. This feature checks the status of your network, devices connected to the network, and router settings. Wi-Fi Inspector helps you secure your network to prevent attackers from accessing and exploiting your personal information.

Protects you from DNS (Domain Name System) hijacking. Some malicious programs can redirect you from an authentic URL to an inauthentic one to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.
Rescue disk
It allows you to scan your computer when your system is not running. This method significantly increases your chances of detection and
malware removal because malware is unable to counter it. If you suspect that your computer is infected with malware and all other antivirus scans have failed to resolve the problem, you can use a rescue disk.
Security browser extension
Scans websites for authenticity and blocks malicious ads.
Remote Access Shield
Prevents Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) abuse and brute force attacks by allowing you to choose who can remotely access your
computer and block unwanted connections.
Data shredder
It allows you to permanently erase your files or disks so that no one can recover and misuse your data.
Exchange Server Protection
Scans and filters emails at the Exchange server level – stopping potential attacks before they spread across the network.
SharePoint server protection
It scans all files uploaded to shared storage to ensure that malware cannot compromise the data.
