Enjoy this beta!
We are looking forward to your feedback.

Also please be informed that we would appreciate if you would be so kind and try our Antivirus product based on so called “icarus” setup (installation and update engine) already used for other Avast products but now available also for AV. More information is here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=264883.0.
Please note that in order to get it, you need to uninstall the current one (automatic migration is not supported at the moment).

Thanks Petr, testing it asap…

does the email Guardian monitor web based ?

Thanks for the new beta :slight_smile:

Same Network transmission protocol with Firefox when the thumbprint protection is enabled

Yes that’s right. Email Guardian is a new, cloud-based solution that flags malicious content within emails. It is currently being tested with Outlook only, but we plan to introduce gmail and other services to it soon. Stay tuned!

is this feature available for free users ?

It seems so, see: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=308672.0

This would be a great feature, if it is expanded to cover email services other than Microsoft’s. Hopefully we will have some notice when other email providers are enabled.
