I understand that Avast v5 Will soon be out around October 2009 and from what I have read there will be three versions but it is the Security Suite.Which is the main feature I am interested in as this is something i’ve been waiting for from Avast in order to catch up with the competition when it comes to Firewalls for some time. (3 years). However, I can’t seem to find any more information in regards to the firewalls features.
Even if avast can list the basics such as does it have both Inbound and outbound protection giving the user the ability to view and control access to programs accessing the internet?, Does it contains Parental Controls? etc…
I am looking at upgrading my business systems to use Avast Security Suite but the firewall will have to pass certain criteria needed in order to to do so. Thus, knowing what abilities it has could help me in advance.
Yes, inbound and outbound protection.
Parental controls won’t be available right now. Maybe in a near future. If you need suggestions, use www.k9webprotection.com (home, not business).
I am just itching to try this program! I assume Avast will offer the same trial time for all three versions of this program.
Also curios if The firewall will have general statistics of websites visited etc.
PS: I notice there is a “Maintainance” Button on the “Security Suite” Main screen? but none of the previews show what it does? is this something new and what does it do?
Zonealarm have started to put in PC Tuneup facilities within its program so the user can clean their internet history and registry of redundant values! is this something Avast have included too?
we wouldnt be where we are now if we never asked questions, even if they lead us down the wrong path.
