But avast! free is doing great job.It needs some improvements.

They do need an anti-ransomware module (file protection). This product is usually bypassed by it in the hub. This module would have great success

I hope they will improve HIPS and DeepScreen. They need to add Boot-time protection too.

100 Agreed,Nearly all newest Hub tests avast failed to detect Ransomware

Do you mean all Free Antivirus software, or specifically Avast Free? And why?

 

[jamescv7]

Avast should rely more on their implemented DeepScreen and HIPS which they can revise little on the concept. Although Hardened Mode is strong enough however not all users will easily notice that configuration.

They don't have any plans for HIPS recently.But they more focussed on Cloud ☁ Protection.They already had Boot time protection in scan menu.

All but only because of the security and confidence i get from Norton. Because i am not a fan does not mean there are not some good fre AV's out there.

For AV's with no extra preventive features, you can easily use them in conjunction with something like NVT smart object blocker/File system protector(freeware) to protect against malicious processes, ransomware and anything else which can go past the AV. e.g Ad-aware.

They are thinking of the ransomware module.But it can take time to implement.
