App Review Avast! 7 Internet Security Final Prevention Test

[MrXidus]

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

Not too bad, but now that FileRep option is like the Norton system . also free version does not appear to have sandbox (i checked the avast spanish site) i dont know but i am disappointed!

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.

also free version does not appear to have sandbox (i checked the avast spanish site) i dont know but i am disappointed!

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.
