Hi everyone,
It is my pleasure to announce the availability of the RC build of a new "R2" release of Avast 2014 (build number 2010).
You have all been quite helpful providing us with feedback and comments on the previous ("R1") version and the "R2" beta as well. Speaking about the beta we have fixed following issues:
- Fixed reported BSODs related to the WebShield, Networkshield and FW
- Browser plugin support in IE11
- USB rescue disk creation sometimes fails (WinXP)
- Added localizations
In terms of the core product changes, here's the (incomplete) list:
- We have finally fully rewritten the WebShield so that it now doesn't work as a "transparent proxy" anymore. I.e. no more routing of all HTTP traffic through the AvastSvc.exe process - which should hopefully result in no more conflicts with various firewalls (especially older firewalls that can't handle transparent proxies) and overall improvement in stability and performance. Besides that (and this is really exciting) it allows us to see and detect more threats (the original webshield had some limitations).
- The Firewall component (in IS and Premier) has also changed dramatically. We spent quite some time making it more compatible with other applications, such as Java and various VPN services.
- The installer/updater has been improved to allow more reliable installation in case of infected machines. The installer is now protected by the avast self-defense driver from the very beginning, making it harder for active malware to kill it (if you have problems starting the installer in the first place, it may be a good idea to try to rename the executable to a random name first)
- The changes in the File System Shield's driver should result in faster performance, especially in the copy files and install programs scenarios.
- We have also beefed up the Browser Cleanup tool to be able to rip off even the more stubborn toolbars and other "PUBEs" (Pontentially Unwanted Browser Extensions :))
- We have also fixed a whole bunch of bugs reported in the last couple of months. Especially if you encountered a problem with R1, I suggest you try this new version, chances are that the problem is resolved there.
- For trialware users, we have also added an interactive tutorial that explains all the features of the product in a straightforward, concise manner.
In addition to the core, there's two more things included in this version:
- Connectivity to the new avast! GrimeFighter product. GrimeFighter is our take on PC Optimization / tuneup and is the result of the Jumpshot acquisition that we did earlier this year. This will be a standalone product (sold separately) but has some connections into Avast. It is really a cool product (and I encourage everyone to give it a try) - technically, it's Linux based, although you wouldn't be able to tell as it's perfectly skinned and does a good job at hiding all the complexities.
- SafePrice is a new, optional module of the Avast browser plugins. It's designed to combine security (hence the "safe" part) with best deals (hence the "price") into one, easy-to-use module. It's pretty silent (almost invisible) unless you search for a specific product -- in which case, it would pop up a price comparison and allow you to pick one of the deals in the trusted stores. The feature can be turned on or off through the browser plugin settings.

大家好,
我很高兴地宣布一个新的“ R2”版本的Avast 2014年(建立2010号)的RC版本的可用性。
你都已经相当有帮助为我们提供反馈和先前( “R1” )版和“ R2 ”公测以及注释。在谈到我们有固定的以下问题公测:
- 修正了报告相关的WebShield的, Networkshield和FW BSODs
- 在IE11浏览器插件支持
- USB急救盘制作有时会失败(操作系统)
- 新增本地化
在核心产品方面的变化,这里的(不完全)列表:
- 我们终于完全改写了WebShield的,以便它现在不为“透明代{过}{滤}理”工作了。即这应该有希望导致没有各种防火墙(尤其是较旧的防火墙不能处理透明代{过}{滤}理),并在稳定性和性能全面提升更多的冲突 - 所有HTTP流量通过AvastSvc.exe过程中没有路由。除此之外(这是真正令人兴奋的),它让我们看到和发现更多的威胁(原WEBSHIELD有一定的局限性) 。
- 防火墙组件(在IS和总理)也发生了巨大变化。我们花了相当长的一段时间使得它与其他应用程序,如Java和各种VPN服务更兼容。
- 安装/更新进行了改进,允许更可靠的安装在受感染的机器。安装程序现在是从一开始就停住自卫驱动程序保护,使其更难为活跃的恶意软件要杀死它(如果你有开始摆在首位安装程序的问题,它可能是一个好主意,尝试重命名可执行文件为一个随机名称的第一个)
- 在文件系统盾的驱动程序的变化应导致更快的性能,特别是在复制文件和安装程序的情景。
- 我们还加强了浏览器清理工具能够懵了,甚至比较顽固的工具栏和其他“阴毛” ( Pontentially不需要的浏览器扩展:) )
- 我们还修复了一大堆的报道,在过去几个月的错误。特别是如果你遇到与R1的一个问题,我建议你试试这个新版本,很可能是问题得到解决那里。
- 对于试用用户,我们也增加,说明在一个简单的,简洁的方式将产品的所有功能,互动式教学课程。
除了核心的,还有包含在这个版本两件事情:
- 连接到新的avast! GrimeFighter产品。 GrimeFighter是我们采取的PC优化/热身,是跳投收购,我们在今年早些时候做的结果。这将是一个独立的产品(单独出售) ,但有一些连接到Avast的。这实在是一个很酷的产品(我鼓励大家试试看) - 在技术上,它是基于Linux的,虽然你将无法告诉,因为它是完美的皮肤和做得很好的隐藏所有的复杂性。
- SafePrice是Avast的浏览器插件的一个新的,可选模块。它的设计安全性(因此“安全”部分)与最佳优惠(因此“价格” )结合成一体,易于使用的模块。这是相当无语(几乎看不见),除非你搜索一个特定的产品 - 在这种情况下,它会弹出一个价格比较,让你挑的信任卖场的交易之一。该功能可以通过浏览器插件的设置来打开或关闭。
