[App Update] Avast 2015-Build#10.0.2206--Oct 21/14

Change log..

• HTTPS scanning
Ability to detect and decrypt TLS/SSL protected traffic in the Web-content filtering component. This feature will protect you against viruses coming through HTTPs traffic as well as adding compatibility for SPDY+HTTPS/ HTTP 2.0 traffic. You can tune/disable this feature in the settings section.

• AVAST NG
A hardware based virtualization solution capable of running each Windows process in standalone safe virtualized environment (VM) and fully integrated to your desktop. Each process is executed in its own instance of VM, which means totally isolated from your other applications. This feature is now powering the Avast DeepScreen, resulting in better detection. Avast NG requires HW virtualization enabled.

• SecureDNS (this feature is active in the paid versions only)
A new provider which guards against unprotected DNS/DNS hijack on a router/client (including unsecured networks, public ones, etc.).

• Home Network Security
Scan your home network for vulnerabilities (wifi status, connected devices, router settings, factory passwords, etc.). It helps to discover potential problems not isolated on the particular device only, but in the entire network of devices you use or connect to the Internet from.

• Smart Scan
Integrated all on demand scans into one (Antivirus, Software updates, Home Network, GrimeFighter). One scan, different results and recommendations.

• New Support System
Easy contact for paid users to submit a ticket with all info included automatically. Improved knowledge base for free users. Help is completely online and is more up to date.

• General bugfixing
This covers a lot of stability & performance changes in all components (but the main focus was traditionally on the network & engine components).

With it checking SSL traffic, EMET kept giving me SSL error messages. Disabled the checking of SSL traffic and EMET is quite again.

I updated, and that is the end of my Avast experience. This new version slowed my PC down to a crawl. I used the uninstall utility, trashed Avast, installed MSE, and now my browsing is much faster......Just my 2 cents as an early adopter.

I had the same "surf by snail" experience, then I discovered the culprit was "Web shield".

Just disable Web Shield and AVAST IS COOL again!

Naaaaa, I'm done with Avast. Too much bloat doing too many things thus slowing down too many things. I'm going to give MSE a chance for a while.

Thanks you art22gg.

As for the slowing you down others have stated ... all I have is the very basic and it works great. This new version added 2 more things and I had to uninstall them (and the associated firewall rules they created!) and reboot to get rid of them, but all is good now.
