Avast! version 5.1.864 change log:

* boot-time scanner now available even in 64-bit Windows * big improvements in the Behavior Shield * improvements in the antirootkit engine * improvements in the cleaning module * stability/performance improvements in the Web Shield * CommunityIQ improvements * added support for sound packs * minor improvements in the user interface * minor fixes in the firewall

Take conclusions by yourself.

Personally, I think the scans are performed more quickly and the BeS scans more files than version 5.0.

The update is free, thus everyone should update. :wink:

I would think that since 5.1 uses the same database files as 5.0 that the detection rate of in the wild malware should be essentially the same. The improvements in other areas of 5.1 should help increase detection of new malware .
