in avast free version will deep screen still work

because i don’t see the sandbox in free version

  1. You might get some marginal DeepScreen scanning even without reputation services, but generally yes - reputation services can be considered as required for the DeepScreen to work properly.
  2. Yes, right now it’s deployed for on-exec scanning only.

Yes, it certainly works even in avast! Free (just as AutoSandbox did in previous versions).

you mean executed files

4 so deep screen sandboxes files automatically in background

so the sandbox is built into avast with no setting required

  1. Yes, I mean executing Windows executable files.
  2. Yes, but it performs further processing, not just the sandboxing.

Yes, some more information about the file (let’s call it “characteristics”, or “features”) may also be included.
