Avast! Premier
Avast! Premier is the most complex and advanced security solution of the Avast! series. Advertised by the company as the most powerful Avast ever made, the product provides a state-of-the-art collection of security tools that is hard to compete with. The common features of the whole Avast! series are real-time protection, various scan methods (quick, full, custom), a myriad of shields for the web, mail accounts, Internet Messengers and P2P connections, as well as a comfortable management of the firewall and antispam modules.
What's new of Avast! Premiere:
- Finally fully rewritten the WebShield so that it now doesn't work as a "transparent proxy" anymore. I.e. no more routing of all HTTP traffic through the AvastSvc.exe process - which should hopefully result in no more conflicts with various firewalls (especially older firewalls that can't handle transparent proxies) and overall improvement in stability and performance. Besides that (and this is really exciting) it allows us to see and detect more threats (the original webshield had some limitations).
- The Firewall component (in IS and Premier) has also changed dramatically. Made it more compatible with other applications, such as Java and various VPN services.
- The installer/updater has been improved to allow more reliable installation in case of infected machines. The installer is now protected by the avast self-defense driver from the very beginning, making it harder for active malware to kill it (if you have problems starting the installer in the first place
