Software features
•HTTPS scanning
TLS/SSL protected traffic can now be scanned and decrypted using the web content filtering component on Avast! Premium. Add a new root certificate stored in Windows, replacing the certificates generated by major browsers. This feature will protect you from viruses over HTTPS traffic, in addition to adding compatibility for SPDY+ HTTPS/HTTP2.0 traffic. You can adjust/turn off this feature in the settings section.
•Home network security
Scan your home network for vulnerabilities (WiFi status, connected devices, router settings, factory passwords, etc.). This is a fairly new approach as we are trying to find problems that may occur that are not isolated only on a specific device, but are used across the entire network, or connected to from the internet.
•SecureDNS (this feature is activated only in the paid version)
We have introduced a new provider that protects against unprotected DNS/DNS hijacking of routers/clients (including unsecured networks, public ones, etc.).
•Cloud Security Scan
Combines all scanning needs into one (antivirus, software updates, home network, GrimeFighter). One scan, different results and recommendations.
•New support system
For paid users easy access to submit a ticket with all information included automatically. Improved knowledge base for free users. The help is entirely online and up to date.
•Performance optimization
Includes a number of stability and performance changes for all components (with an emphasis on traditional network and engine components).
