avast! 5 is coming… soon!
After a long time of keeping everything in secret, I’m glad that I can now disclose some preliminary information about the upcoming avast! version 5. The first thing to note is that the product is coming relatively soon. Namely, we’re currently planning to release it this October.
The product will be offered in three flavors: a free AV (that will supersede avast! 4.8 Home Edition), a paid AV (successor of avast! Professional Edition) and a full Internet Security suite. As usual, all customers (or users) with a valid avast! subscription will get a free upgrade to this new version.
The free AV will, of course, contain all the features from the existing Home Edition, plus a couple of new extras (I’ll be sharing more details on the blog as time goes by). The paid AV now includes a new virtualization module as well as all the features from the free AV and features previously exclusive to avast! 4.8 Pro. And finally, the suite adds an antispam and firewall module and will thus provide you with a complete, worry-free protection.
All three products will share the same antivirus engine (e.g. all of them will still have exactly same detection rates) that has been substantially improved and optimized. It may sound like a cliché, but it’s a fact: the new engine can detect more viruses, while actually consuming less resources.
The performance optimizations were not confined to the AV engine only; the program now uses various tricks to feel as light as possible and to not interfere with your work in any way. For example, we have radically improved the time it takes the computer to boot, making the slowdown imposed by avast! almost unnoticeable. I’ll be very interested in getting some feedback from you on this one (as soon as you get a chance to test it – please read on).
Starting with version 5, avast! now officially supports heuristics (proactive detection), although between me and you, many of the stuff has already been present in the previous versions – but we haven’t marketed it in any way. Also, detection of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) has been added. Additionally, version 5 includes a new code emulator (or in fact, a dynamic translation module, to be technically correct) that will be of great help e.g. when unpacking malware samples packed/protected by unknown packers (as is the case pretty often).
All three products also feature a new user interface which has been completely redesigned for this new version. We’re abandoning the dual (simple vs. enhanced) UI model and replacing it with a single comfortable console, designed for both novice and experienced users. I’m attaching a couple of screenshots to give you an idea of what the product actually looks like.

The beta testing of avast! 5 will start in a couple of weeks (roughly by the end of July / beginning of August), so if you are interested to give it a try, please check back soon as I’ll be posting the details here on the blog as well as on our forums.

的avast！ 5 is coming… soon! 5即将到来...！
2009年7月20日 的VLK
After a long time of keeping everything in secret, I'm glad that I can now disclose some preliminary information about the upcoming avast! 经过秘密都保持很长时间，我很高兴我现在可以透露一些关于即将举行的avast初步信息！ version 5. 版本5。 The first thing to note is that the product is coming relatively soon. 首先要注意的是，该产品即将到来比较。 Namely, we're currently planning to release it this October. 也就是说，我们目前正在计划推出其今年10月。
The product will be offered in three flavors: a free AV (that will supersede avast! 4.8 Home Edition), a paid AV (successor of avast! Professional Edition) and a full Internet Security suite. 该产品将提供三种口味：自由影音（将取代的avast！4.8家庭版），付费影音（继任的avast！专业版）和一个完整的互联网安全套件。 As usual, all customers (or users) with a valid avast! 像往常一样，所有客户（或用户提供一个有效的avast）！ subscription will get a free upgrade to this new version. 订阅将获得免费升级到这个新版本。
The free AV will, of course, contain all the features from the existing Home Edition, plus a couple of new extras (I'll be sharing more details on the blog as time goes by). 免费的视听会，当然，包括从现有的家庭版的所有功能，再加上新的额外的情侣（我将在博客分享更多细节随着时间的推移）。 The paid AV now includes a new virtualization module as well as all the features from the free AV and features previously exclusive to avast! 支付的影音现在包括一个新的虚拟化模块，以及所有来自自由影音功能和特性以前独有的avast！ 4.8 Pro. 4.8专业版。 And finally, the suite adds an antispam and firewall module and will thus provide you with a complete, worry-free protection. 最后，该套件增加了反垃圾邮件和防火墙模块，从而将提供一个完整的，无后顾之忧保护你。
All three products will share the same antivirus engine (eg all of them will still have exactly same detection rates) that has been substantially improved and optimized. 三款产品都将共享相同的防病毒引擎（如所有这些仍然有完全相同的检出率）已大大改善和优化。 It may sound like a cliché , but it's a fact: the new engine can detect more viruses, while actually consuming less resources. 这听起来像老生常谈 ，但它是一个事实：新的引擎可以检测更多的病毒，而实际消耗更少的资源。
The performance optimizations were not confined to the AV engine only; the program now uses various tricks to feel as light as possible and to not interfere with your work in any way. 性能优化并不限于杀毒引擎仅程序现在使用的各种技巧感到尽可能轻，并不会影响您以任何方式工作。 For example, we have radically improved the time it takes the computer to boot, making the slowdown imposed by avast! 例如，我们从根本上改善了花费的时间启动电脑，使所规定的放缓avast！ almost unnoticeable. 几乎无法察觉。 I'll be very interested in getting some feedback from you on this one (as soon as you get a chance to test it – please read on). 我将非常感兴趣，在这一个获得一些反馈您（只要您有机会来测试它-请继续阅读）。
Starting with version 5, avast! 第5版开始，的avast！ now officially supports heuristics (proactive detection), although between me and you, many of the stuff has already been present in the previous versions – but we haven't marketed it in any way. 已经正式支持启发式（主动侦测），虽然我和你之间，很多的东西已在以前的版本存在-但我们还没有任何销售方式。 Also, detection of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) has been added. 此外，检测潜在有害程序（PUPs）增加了。 Additionally, version 5 includes a new code emulator (or in fact, a dynamic translation module, to be technically correct) that will be of great help eg when unpacking malware samples packed/protected by unknown packers (as is the case pretty often). 此外，第5版包括一个新的代码仿真器（或在事实上，动态转换模块，在技术上正确），将有很大帮助，例如解压缩包装时，恶意软件样本/被身份不明的包装保护（这是很经常的情况）。
All three products also feature a new user interface which has been completely redesigned for this new version. 这三款产品还具有一个新的用户界面已完全为这个新的版本重新设计。 We're abandoning the dual (simple vs. enhanced) UI model and replacing it with a single comfortable console, designed for both novice and experienced users. 我们放弃了双（简单与增强）用户界面模型和替换它用一个舒适的控制台，为初学者和有经验的用户设计的。 I'm attaching a couple of screenshots to give you an idea of what the product actually looks like. 我附上了截图夫妇给你一个什么样子的产品实际的想法。
