avast New Beta version released - 12.4.2281

[ZeroDay]

The new UI is definitely an eyesore.

The OP clearly states this which would indicate changes in the whole product.

+ Huge internal changes for product stabilization

What I meant was the inclusion of some AVG features. Like now having dual scanning engines making it comparable to dual-engine Av/AM like Emsisoft Antimalware, 360 TSE, G Data Antivirus, Trustport Antivirus etc

Ransomware protection and exploit protection also come to my mind

Thanks

Is AVG Online Shield better than Avast's Web Shield? If these 2 are the same then no point the duplication, right?

What about any exploit protection?

New GUI is far more useable and easy to understand, I will very much enjoy this upcoming update.

Not sure about color.

Hasn't Avast free had Hips included for a while now?

Yes Avast have HIPS but not a full blown, which only focuses on suspicious behavior like activity unfortunately ineffective.

Hopefully Avast should undergone intensive improvements on the newly HIPS, especially their CyberCapture which the cloud itself must suppose to be active nowadays.

I don't know much about AVG's Online Shield but if they mix both of them then it would be more powerful.
I don't know about exploit protection but avast has it own.

Personally, the only feature of AVG that I would like to see in Avast is the IDP module, which seems very effective in the latest version.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding my side.

Yeah, it's only the colour I dislike, the layout looks fine but that colour hurts my eyes. Although it is a beta and they may change the colour.

Hi

Does the new Avast incorporates AI? I think this is the trend to use machine learning to slowly complement/replace traditional AV software.

Thanks

Well the AVG theme has kicked in for sure... Looks like Avast decided to down-grade on the GUI... They had one of the best, now I'm not so sure they are even in top #3 for GUI, but still the protection is decent.

It sure has i see an AVG takeover here.

I like the new GUI

This is the only reason I tried AVG back in the day.

Is this an Avast 12.4.2281 bug?

This appears randomly when using the computer during normal use, ie. browsing web with avast sitting in background.

Discussing the new GUI is like discussing earrings on a pig. At the end of the day it still oinks.

Hello @cruelsister
Of course you are right, the most important for an AV is to be as effective as possible.
But you are really very cruel with aesthetes like me who love beautiful things: cars, motorbikes, musics, art, and of course women (or men).
With kind regards
