Alwil Software heeft de eerste bètarelease uitgebracht van zijn beveiligingsprogramma Avast 2015. Het programma is beschikbaar in de gratis Free Antivirus-, en de betaalde Pro Antivirus- en Internet Security-uitvoeringen. Daarnaast is er Premier, dat extra beheerfuncties heeft, zoals de mogelijkheid om een pc op afstand over te nemen en eventueel de harde schijf te wissen. In versie 2015 is aan het uiterlijk niet veel veranderd. Wel zijn er diverse nieuwe mogelijkheden, zoals de mogelijkheid om https-verbindingen te scannen en het thuisnetwerk op kwetsbaarheden te controleren. De betaalde versie krijgt dns-beveiliging. De belangrijkste verbeteringen die in deze release zijn aangebracht kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
Avast 2015 Beta1 (10.0.2022)Known problems
- HTTPS scanning
Now, we are able to detect and decrypt TLS/SSL protected traffic in our Web-content filtering component. We are using our own generated certificates that are added into the Root Certificate store in Windows and also into major browsers. This feature will protect you against viruses coming through HTTPs traffic as well as adding compatibility for SPDY+HTTPS/ HTTP 2.0 traffic. You can tune/disable this feature in the settings section.- Home Network Security
Scan your home network for vulnerabilities (wifi status, connected devices, router settings, factory passwords, etc.). This is quite a new approach as we are trying to discover potential problems not isolated on the particular device only, but in the entire network of devices you use or connect to the Internet from.- SecureDNS (this feature is active in the paid versions only)
We are introducing a new provider which guards against unprotected DNS/DNS hijack on a router/client (including unsecured networks, public ones, etc.).- Smart Scan
Integrated all on demand scans into one (Antivirus, Software updates, Home Network, GrimeFighter). One scan, different results and recommendations.- New Support System
Easy contact for paid users to submit a ticket with all info included automatically. Improved knowledge base for free users. Help is completely online and is more up to date.- General bugfixing
This covers a lot of stability & performance changes in all components (but the main focus was traditionally on the network & engine components).
- SecureDNS provider is not working correctly when you are on the restricted wi-fi networks
- If you are using Firefox while avast is installed, restart the browser for correct functionality of the SSL scanning
- SSL scanning scans only major browsers (FF,IE,Chrome) - checkbox in GUI is ignored.
