avast! Pro Antivirus 5 (1 User/PC) - 1 Year Subscription
avast! Pro Antivirus 5 does not include firewall protection, avast! Internet Security includes firewall protection with the antivirus.
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-rootkit protection Unique "on access" technology checks all kernel-mode drivers that the operating system is loading for signs of rootkit behavior.
avast! Sandbox Enables potentially exploitable and/or suspicious executables to be run in a safe, virtual environment.
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, a method much faster than traditional emulation techniques.
Heuristics engine Starting with version 5.0, avast! features a new heuristics engine designed to proactively detect malware undetectable with normal definitions. The heuristics engine is able to cover both binary (executable) and script malware.
Potentially unwanted programs detection New in version 5.0, avast! now detects potentially unwanted programs, such as remote admin tools and commercial key loggers. Custom rules can be set for dealing with these types of programs.

Real User Review: Name: Billie Location: Maine Review Summary : Download version, free and PRO Review : I have never bought the CD ROM version of Avast, but I have downloaded and used Avast! for at least 5 years, on several computers. After using the free version, I was so grateful for the product that I bought the PRO version. I figured Avast! deserved my money. I love this product. It is not a system hog, and is simple to set up. It does not interfere with my work, but it does what it is supposed to do. Technical support on line is decent. If you want more reviews, check out CNET. The CDROM version would be great to have for people who do not have high-speed service yet.
