ESET Smart Security 6.0 RC

ESET has already proved its strong powers through the antivirus solution it has developed, and the company wants to continue this success with an even more advanced tool.

Called Smart Security, this new product is just more than a simple antivirus, it’s a whole suite of utilities supposed not only to defend the computer in front of infections, but also to block spam, remote attacks and any other type of threat that might put your precious data at risk.

Unlike most security software, ESET Smart Security does not require you to restart your computer in order to be fully protected. Right after this, you’ll discover an incredibly complex application that can be used very simple though.

A pretty nice and clean interface that can be controlled without too much effort, as every single utility has been specifically configured to work properly without the need of user’s intervention. Still, if you want to bring your very own touches to the way the security solution works, you can always choose the advanced mode that leads you to a whole new world of options.

The ace up its sleeve is definitely the way it works. Either you’re running a computer scan, a definition update or just browsing through menus, ESET Smart Security is incredibly friendly with hardware resources. It informs the user every time there’s something dangerous around and can obviously ask for his intervention when it needs it.

ESET Smart Security gets right beneath your computer's skin and wraps itself around, providing a protective layer through its implemented antimalware technologies. These include Real-time file system protection, HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System), Gamer mode or Personal Firewall. It also packs Web and email protection as well as Parental control capabilities.

The suite comes with a toolbox that bundles a set of truly essential instruments from Scheduler and Quarantine to ESET SysInspector and ESET SysRescue. All of these provide the much needed extra reliability of the software as a whole.

ESET Smart Security really impresses from most point of views. Its sturdy backbone developed by threat protection experts in many years has reached a new level of intrusion detection and pro-active defense. The combined powers of the suite create a top-notch and fluid experience in a computer world that is constantly under attack.

Here are some key features of "ESET Smart Security":

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is an advanced antivirus solution that provides effective protection against viruses and spyware, while leaving a minimal footprint on computer resources.

One of the top features bundled into ESET NOD32 is a smart defense system that manages to protect the computer without bothering you with pop-ups or prompts. Another notable characteristic of this antivirus is the ''Self Defense'' that blocks attempts from malicious applications to disable its features.

NOD32 has a clean and easy to use interface, despite the heap of settings hidden under the hood. The two scanning modes, ''Smart'' and ''Custom'' enable you to quickly check the entire disk or some selected areas like removable media, network or local drives.

When active, the built-in host-based intrusion protection system (HIPS) continuously analyzes the activity on your computer raises the flag when suspicious actions are detected.

ESET's software solution has been specifically designed to work with the most popular email clients on the market, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. NOD32 relies on its ThreatSense scanning engine, which uses both generic signatures as well as heuristics, to protect your system against all sorts of threats.

The scanning process is quite fast and doesn't put a lot of stress on the system resources. Customization options available are rather numerous; however, the default settings are well balanced to keep a computer out of harm's way.

In case you want to add a personal touch to the system protection or interface settings, you can take a close look in the ''Advanced Setup'' and tinker with the plethora of choices available. If you need more details about a feature, the help section provides all the information.

NOD32 includes a password protection system to make sure unauthorized users can't disable, modify or uninstall it. Also, a couple of system tools, namely ''ESET SysInspector'' and ''ESET SysRescue'', allow a glance deeper into the system as well as create rescue disks.

Among the best things about NOD32 is its engine, which, coupled with some ''smart'' features, provides a safe environment requiring only a small portion of system resources. Very good online and offline protection and wide range of customization possibilities make from ESET's antivirus a notable solution, especially for home users.

Avira Personal Free Antivirus 2012

Avira AntiVir Personal seems to be the right choice for all those who are searching for a solution with decent performance and regular updates, just to be sure infections stay away from their precious data.

The developers over at Avira have always offered a well-organized interface, and their latest antivirus solution makes no exception to this rule. Fortunately, although it's supposed to fight against viruses, the application comes with a handy user interface that lets you configure it with ease.

Avira only offers a bunch of settings, so advanced users should have no problem to deal with them, although beginners should too find the whole application quite easy to use.

The installation process is not that pleasant though. If you have Windows Defender installed, Avira advises you to remove it before continuing the installation. We chose “No” because it would make much more sense to use Avira together with Windows Defender, and not as a single solution.

Continuing the installation brings you to another important moment: you must decide whether you wish to install a toolbar, which is actually the reason why the app is marked as ad-supported.

Scanning is the kind of process that requires minimal interaction from the user. Choose the hard-disk you want to scan and let Avira do its magic. Scanning is not too fast though, and you may have to wait a little while to get rid of the worms. The speed of the scanning process obviously depends on the amount of data stored on your computer, so more files means more time.

Avira promises to protect your computer against viruses, worms and Trojans AntiDialer protection as well as against dialers and rootkits, spyware and adware. In addition, there are dedicated tools to provide mail and web protection, plus a separate firewall to make sure you're going to stay on the safe side.

In the end, Avira's antivirus solution seems just right for those who want nothing more than a software capable of blocking viruses and Trojan horses. The interface is more than decent, but a faster scanning process would be great. Still, what you pay is what you get, and Avira is clearly a smart pick.

Avast! Pro Antivirus 7.0

Avast! Pro Antivirus is a comprehensive security software that offers powerful protection for your system in order to keep viruses and spyware at bay. The installation takes a while to complete, but this is only because it is a very important step and you have to pay attention to the things you pick to be copied.

Avast! has a modern look, with all features organized in a menu displayed on the left, while the rest of the details are presented right in the middle of the main window. Thanks to the fact that developers attached detailed explanations for each of the features included in the application, Avast! Pro Antivirus addresses both novice and expert users.

Appearance aside, this antivirus solution is an excellent tool for all those who want not only to get rid of malicious files, but also to stay protected the rest of the time. Avast! Pro Antivirus has to offer basically everything you need, from real-time protection and on-demand scanner to a file system shield, mail protection, instant messaging protection and network security.

Scanning went pretty fast during our test and this is indeed great in case you're in a hurry. Plus, Avast! is capable of scanning files every time you open them or as soon as new downloads land on your computer.

If you are one of those who like to spend a lot of time 'in-game', the antivirus has a nice treat for you. There is a dedicated 'Gaming Mode' that will prevent notifications and pop-ups from distracting your attention.

The built-in heuristics engine provides an effective proactive defense against new types of malware. Another great characteristic is the 'Sandbox' that enables you to run suspicious programs in a safe, virtual environment.

Thanks to its powerful feature pack and ease of use, Avast! Pro Antivirus is undoubtedly one of the names to be considered every time you’re looking for a new security software.

Here are some key features of "Avast! Pro Antivirus":

· Core and detection

· Antivirus and anti-spyware engine

· State of the art scanning engine provides reliable protection against viruses, spyware and other forms of malicious software.

Most of the collected samples are analysed by a number of automated processes and only a small fraction of the samples need to be processed manually by our virus analysts.

· Code emulator

· When a suspicious executable is encountered (during both on-demand and on-access scanning), avast! is able to emulate the program’s code in an isolated environment. The code emulator is used for two purposes. First, it is used for generic unpacking. Secondly, it is used in the heuristics engine. Technically, this is done using dynamic translation, a method much faster than traditional emulation techniques.

· Heuristics engine

· Starting with version 5.0, avast! features a new heuristics engine designed to proactively detect malware undetectable with normal definitions. The heuristics engine is able to cover both binary (executable) and script malware.

· Potentially unwanted programs detection

· New in version 5.0, avast! now detects potentially unwanted programs, such as remote admin tools and commercial key loggers. Custom rules can be set for dealing with these types of programs.

· Scanning

· Boot-time scanner

· Allows you to scan your computer for infections before the operating system has started and before a virus can be activated (32-bit operating systems only).

· Command-line scanner

· Enables you to run a scan directly from the command line.

· Wake-up for scan

· Microsoft Windows is woken from sleep or hibernation mode, performs a scheduled scan, then returns back to sleep mode.

· Scheduled scanning

· Allows users to define the scan time and files to be scanned.

· avast! Intelligent Scanner

· Can reduce the number of required file scans by up to 80% through a white list of proven safe applications. Files identified as safe are not rescanned unless they change.

· Shields

· Behavior Shield

· Monitors activity on your computer using a number of sensors (file system, registry and network based) and reports/blocks any suspicious behavior.

· Behavioral Honeypots

· avast! sensors identify and monitor suspicious file activity on selected computers, automatically submitting files to the Virus Lab for additional analysis.

· File System Shield

· Real-time scanning of opened/executed files.

· Mail Shield

· Scans all incoming/outgoing e-mails for malware. For MS Outlook, a special plug-in is used. Other email clients are protected by a generic POP3/IMAP4/SMTP proxy. New in version 5, the proxy also supports scanning of SSL communication (gmail.com, sympatico.ca, ….)

· Web Shield

· Scans all visited web pages and checks all files, pages and java scripts downloaded from the internet. Thanks to the Intelligent Stream Scan feature, the Web shield doesn't slow down your web browsing.

· P2P Shield

· Checks files downloaded using P2P programs. - ABC, Ares, Azureus, BearShare, Bit Torrent, BitComet, BitLord, BitPump, CZDC++, Direct Connect, eDonkey, eMule, iDC++, iMesh, Kazaa, Kceasy, LimeWire, Morpheus, Opera's DC++, Overnet, Qtrax, Shareaza, SoulSeek, StrongDC++, uTorrent, Vuze, WinMX, Winny2, Zultrax.

Messenger.

· Network Shield

· Provides protection against network-based viruses. The module has two main components: a URL blocker, designed to block malicious URLs (as defined by the Virus Lab), and a lightweight intrusion-detection system.

· Script Shield

· Detects malicious scripts hidden in internet web pages and prevents them from running and hijacking or potentially causing damage to your computer (Internet Explorer only, 32-bit only).

· Updates

· Smart virus definition updates

· Incremental updating system minimizes the size of regular update files.

· Fast application of updates

· New format for the virus definition file speeds up application of updates into avast! 5.0 and reduces demand on CPU/memory, resulting in uninterrupted computer use.

· New format for the virus definition file means faster updates and reduces demand on CPU/memory, resulting in uninterrupted computer use.

· Gaming

· Silent/Gaming Mode

· New Silent/Gaming Mode automatically detects full-screen applications and disables pop-ups and other on-screen notifications without degrading security.

· Optimized for latest Intel Core i7 CPUs

Avast! Internet Security 7.0

One of the most powerful antivirus solutions that you will ever have the pleasure of using comes from Avast!.

Avast! Internet Security is a very effective software that protects your computer system against viruses, spyware, and spam.

We liked that fact that, during installation, Avast! created a system restore point without even asking us to confirm it.

The interface in Avast! Internet Security is very pleasant and easy to use, for both novices and advanced users.

Here you can view the current status of your computer - firewall, real-time shields, auto updates, virus definitions version, program version, and expiration date.

There's also the option of switching to silent mode, and that means that Avast! will display various messages without automatically causing you to exit the fullscreen of a game you may be playing.

Scanning can be performed either quickly or thoroughly. You can either scan the whole system, just a portion of it, or removable media.

It takes a while to complete (in full mode), but scanning is very thorough. And yes, during this time, CPU and memory are moderately used (which is always an added bonus). Too bad the firewall function is not very strong.

Boot-Time Scan is a special feature of Avast! that scans the operating system right before startup, making sure to clean any infected files (it doesn't even take long), while Scan Logs displays a history of all completed scans that were either scheduled or not.

Avast! Internet Security is a pretty complex program, so you will most likely love its many features because they solely focus on protecting your computer. Combine it with a backup and recovery system, and you have the perfect recipe for system

Avast! Free Antivirus 7.0

Avast! Free Antivirus is a reliable antivirus software solution designed to provide computer users with effective protection against viruses and spyware.

Avast comes with well-organized interface that targets beginners and professional users alike, with all features being clearly displayed right in the main window.

Be careful during the installation though, because the setup kit also attempts to drop a separate browser on your computer, although Avast doesn't need this kind of app to work properly.

However, once installed, Avast works simply great, with virus definitions updated even several times a day. The scanning process is very fast and is quite light on hardware resources, but it all depends on the computer and the files you're about to scan. We were pleased with its speed during our tests, even though sometimes we were a bit annoyed by the boot-time scanner.

The boot scanner is actually a very handy function because it attempts to scan the computer before the operating system is fully loaded and thus before any virus is ready to take control of certain system files.

There are four scanning modes, as follows: “Quick Scan”, “Full System Scan”, “Removable Media Scan” and “Select folder to scan”; the latter allows for an in-depth scan of a user definded location. The “Quick Scan” mode takes just a few minutes, while the "Full System" mode can last for more than a half an hour, depending on the size of the drive and the amount of data stored locally.

In addition, Avast comes with dedicated tools to protect multiple apps running on your computer, so it also comprises a “File System Shield”, a “Mail Shield”, a “Web Shield”, a “P2P Shield” to protect peer-to-peer programs, an “IM Shield” for instant messaging clients, a “Network Shield”, a “Script Shield” and a “Behavior Shield”.

All in all, Avast is a must have if you're looking for a reliable antivirus solution and, as far as we're concerned, this application is indeed serious competition for other elite software tools belonging to this particular category.

Here are some key features of "Avast! Free Antivirus":

Core and detection:
· Antivirus and anti-spyware engine
· State of the art scanning engine provides reliable protection against viruses, spyware and other forms of malicious software.

Real time anti-rootkit protection:
· Unique "on access" technology checks all kernel-mode drivers that the operating system is loading for signs of rootkit behavior. This enables even unknown rootkits to be detected and stopped before they can do any damage.

Technically, this is done using dynamic translation, a method much faster than traditional emulation techniques.

Heuristics engine:
· avast! features a new heuristics engine designed to proactively detect malware undetectable with normal definitions. The heuristics engine is able to cover both binary (executable) and script malware.

Potentially unwanted programs detection:
· avast! detects potentially unwanted programs, such as remote admin tools and commercial key loggers. Custom rules can be set for dealing with these types of programs.

Scanning:
· Boot-time scanner
· Allows you to scan your computer for infections before the operating system has started and before a virus can be activated (32-bit operating systems only).

Command-line scanner:
· Enables you to run a scan directly from the command line.

Wake-up for scan:
· Microsoft Windows is woken from sleep or hibernation mode, performs a scheduled scan, then returns back to sleep mode.

Scheduled scanning:
· Allows users to define the scan time and files to be scanned.

avast! Intelligent Scanner:
· Can reduce the number of required file scans by up to 80% through a white list of proven safe applications. Files identified as safe are not rescanned unless they change.

Shields:
· Behavior Shield
· Monitors activity on your computer using a number of sensors (file system, registry and network based) and reports/blocks any suspicious behavior.

· Behavioral Honeypots
· avast! sensors identify and monitor suspicious file activity on selected computers, automatically submitting files to the Virus Lab for additional analysis.

· File System Shield
· Real-time scanning of opened/executed files.

· Mail Shield
· Scans all incoming/outgoing e-mails for malware. For MS Outlook, a special plug-in is used. Other email clients are protected by a generic POP3/IMAP4/SMTP proxy. New in version 5, the proxy also supports scanning of SSL communication (gmail.com, sympatico.ca, ….)

· Web Shield
· Scans all visited web pages and checks all files, pages and java scripts downloaded from the internet. Thanks to the Intelligent Stream Scan feature, the Web shield doesn't slow down your web browsing.

· P2P Shield
· Checks files downloaded using P2P programs. - ABC, Ares, Azureus, BearShare, Bit Torrent, BitComet, BitLord, BitPump, CZDC++, Direct Connect, eDonkey, eMule, iDC++, iMesh, Kazaa, Kceasy, LimeWire, Morpheus, Opera's DC++, Overnet, Qtrax, Shareaza, SoulSeek, StrongDC++, uTorrent, Vuze, WinMX, Winny2, Zultrax.

· IM Shield
· Checks files downloaded while using instant messaging or “chat” programs. - AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), Gadu-Gadu, gaim/Pidgin, Google Talk, ICQ, IM2 Messenger, Infium, Miranda, mIRC, MSN/Windows Messenger, Odigo, PalTalk Messenger, Psi Jabber Client, QIP, QQ, SIM, Skype, Tlen, Trillian, WengoPhone, XFire, Yahoo! Messenger.

· Network Shield
· Provides protection against network-based viruses. The module has two main components: a URL blocker, designed to block malicious URLs (as defined by the Virus Lab), and a lightweight intrusion-detection system.

Updates:
· Smart virus definition updates
· Incremental updating system minimizes the size of regular update files.

· Fast application of updates
· New format for the virus definition file speeds up application of updates into avast! 5.0 and reduces demand on CPU/memory, resulting in uninterrupted computer use.
· New format for the virus definition file means faster updates and reduces demand on CPU/memory, resulting in uninterrupted computer use.

Gaming:
· New Silent/Gaming Mode automatically detects full-screen applications and disables pop-ups and other on-screen notifications without degrading security.

Optimized for latest Intel Core i7 CPUs:
· Critical sections of the avast! scanning engine code have been optimized to deliver unrivaled performance on the latest Intel chips.

CPU optimization:
· Multi-threaded scanning optimization
· avast! runs faster on new multi-core CPUs. A new avast! feature allows the splitting of large individual files between cores, accelerating the scanning process.

Green computing:
· Reduced demands on the disk drive result in lower energy consumption.

Miscellaneous:
· avast! iTrack - Real-time graphic scanning reports.
· Graphical user interface - Easy to navigate graphical interface.
