No time to find a folder of malware to test against, Just the standard 20 link procedure for now.

I can do so for the Free Edition tho.

Some parts cut to shorten video length.

As always, remember to use the Larger Player option for HD ;)

And this is great,this is how a developer should use its community... A file that it's very new, isn't used by a lot of your users ,doesn't have a digital signature and comes from a unknown source it's a strong bet that it's an infected file.
I have no doubt that more and more vendors will be using this reputation technique in the near future.

If you are talking about the Auto-Sandbox feature that you've seen in the video then you're wrong, Avast Free does come with Auto-Sandbox however it doesn't not have a MANUAL sandbox which would allow you to run whenever you want your browser or a file in a virtual environment even if Avast doesn't see the file as suspicious , nevertheless you can use a free alternative like Sandboxie and you're all set.
 
Its likely just more improvements from their newly FileRep since a new from the components. Cause even they enhance some of the shields there are times that it may bypassed.

The free version has an auto-sandbox, you can't choose.
