Antivirus and anti-spyware engine
State of the art scanning engine provides reliable protection against viruses, spyware and other forms of malicious software.
Real time anti-root kit protection
Unique "on access" technology checks all kernel-mode drivers that the operating system is loading for signs of root kit behavior. This enables even unknown root kits 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-root kit modules. This is a unique source of data made possible only thanks to our huge user base. Most of the collected samples are analyses 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.
