An A-list antivirus, Avast Professional 5 provides steadfast protection and a robust selection of features. This
version is the paid upgrade of the better-known Avast Free, and includes severaladditional features. It doesn't
have all of Avast's available features, and that last batch has been saved for another paid upgrade, Avast
Internet Security.
Avast Professionalprotects you with multiple guards. The antivirus, antispyware, and heuristics engines form a
security core that also includes multiple real-time shields. The adjustable mail and file systemshields join the
pre-existing behavior, network, instant messaging, peer-to-peer (P2P), script, and Web shields. The behavioral
shield is a common-sense feature, as security softwarepublishers leverage their large user bases to detect
threats early and warn others. Other new features include a silent/gaming mode, a testing sandbox, a firewall,
antispam measures, and an"intelligent scanner" that only looks at changed files after establishing a baseline.
Users should note that Avast Internet Security is the higher-end version of Avast's two paidprograms. Avast
Professional 5 includes the sandbox and script shield, but not the firewall or antispam features.
The biggest change in Avast 5, though, is the interface. Gone is the musicplayer default look, which was
skinnable but confusing, and in its place is a sleek UI that new users should find far more manageable. It's also
Aero-friendly, with Explorer-stylenavigation buttons in case you can't remember where you tweaked a particular
setting.
Avast has been reliably effective, and recent independent efficacy tests indicate that it can hold itsown against
Symantec's Norton and other popular brands. The price of this version is comparable to those, too, albeit slightly
cheaper in some cases. If you want the extra protectionoffered here and value the brand name, Avast
Professional 5 is worth the cost if you're buying for just one computer.
