Download Avast Antivirus 2016 11.1.2236 Beta 3

Alwil Software is developing version 2016 of its security program Avast and has now released beta 3 of it. This program is available in the free Free Antivirus, and the paid Pro Antivirus and Internet Security versions. In addition, there is Premier, which has additional management functions, such as the possibility to remotely take over a PC and possibly erase the hard disk. In version 2016, the program has been given a new look, it can also act as a password safe and is able to check more routers for insecure settings. The following improvements have been made in beta 3:

Changes from V2016 Beta 2:

• Possibility to log in more Avast accounts
• Online security plugin for Firefox is now signed and works in Firefox 42
• Online setup
• Better recovery if reboot appears during installation
• Passwords extension now works in SafeZone browser
• WebShield HTTPS Scanning: We introduced a new method of HTTPs scanning. It is used in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. It works without changing the certificates with the help of kernel mode hooking. The security parameters and certificates are verified by the browser itself, including checks for untrusted or revoked certificates. Traditional MITM approach is still used for IE and Edge, and is also reactivated when required for particular browser. You can check the functionality of HTTPS scanning by checking Statistics window in Avast UI or by visiting this page.

Known issues:

• Passwords extension in IE doesn’t work correctly
• Loosing the first device that starts using Passwords might cause blocking of Avast Account (only if synchronization is enabled, by default turned off)
• Web Reputation, Safe Price features are not functional in SafeZone browser
• Ad blocker sometimes needs restart of the SafeZone browser to start working (occurs only once)
• It is impossible to deactivate the Pay Mode for sites which are automatically switched in to this mode
• Home network security scan doesn’t work in Smart scan
