Antivirus plus extra security

avast! Endpoint Protection Plus is a comprehensive and efficient software utility aimed at securing multiple machines in a network, providing virus and malware detection, as well as their removal from your system, if it were to get infected.

While the installation process itself features no noteworthy events, you might need to restart your computer before the application can take full effect.

avast! Endpoint Protection Plus offers a clean and modern user interface, enabling you to quickly access its most important components from the main window. As such, you can use the 'Scan' tool, customize your 'Firewall', work in the 'Sandbox' or access the 'SafeZone'.

Additionally, you can view a set of statistics concerning your computer's status during a user-defined period of time.

The 'Scan' function provides you with several analysis options, each one focusing on different areas from your PC, namely 'Quick Scan', 'Full System Scan', 'Removable Media Scan', 'Select Folder to Scan' or 'Boot-time Scan', allowing you to select whichever best meets your requirements.

avast! Endpoint Protection Plus offers multiple 'Shields' which can be individually activated or deactivated, their aim being to safeguard your local and online activity against outside threats.

To this purpose, you can use the 'File System Shield', 'Mail Shield', 'Web Shield', 'P2P Shield', 'IM Shield', 'Network Shield', 'Script Shield' or 'Behavior Shield' to make sure you are constantly at bay from any danger. You can also enable the 'Antispam' module to filter out unwanted messages from your inbox.

From the 'Firewall' section, you can configure the risk zones regarding your 'Network Connections', 'Application Rules' or 'Network Utilities'. Other tools include the 'Sandbox', an area where you can run any program you want, including potentially dangerous ones without them having effects on your system.

Similarly, you can work in the 'SafeZone' when you wish to perform online transactions, as they require an added level of security. The 'Site Blocking' feature allows you to create a blacklist of forbidden websites.

avast! Endpoint Protection Plus also offers a 'Remote Assistance' component which enables you to connect to another computer running the same anti-virus, using the code generated by the targeted machine.
