Today we unusually released 2 beta versions in order to test a new mechanism that will allow to avoid some compatibility issues in the future. For this beta testing we set the rule that machines with Windows XP will be able to update only to version 2228, all other machines will update as usual to the latest version 2229.
So please test if you machines on XP are on version 2228 and Vista+ on 2229 and both reporting as latest version. Don't worry we will remove the limitation for Windows XP machines in the next beta version, and we also won't limit XP users in the future. This is just for testing purposes.

Damit AVG Antiviren-Anwendungen auch weiterhin kostenlos anbieten kann, will der Anbieter künftig Nutzerdaten an Werbetreibende verkaufen.

AVG kann Nutzerdaten, wie etwa den Browser- und Suchverlauf, an Dritte verkaufen. Das legt die überarbeitete Datenschutzerklärung nahe, die laut AVG am 15. Oktober in Kraft tritt.

Die gesammelten Daten sollen dem Anbieter zufolge anonymisiert sein und keine Rückschlüsse auf Nutzer zulassen. AVG könne aber schon länger Daten wie den Suchverlauf erfassen und verkaufen, nur haben sie das in älteren Versionen der Datenschutzerklärung nicht so eindeutig formuliert.

Eine AVG-Sprecher erklärte gegenüber dem Magazin Wired, dass sie aktuell noch keine anonymisierten Nutzerdaten an Dritte verkaufen. In naher Zukunft könnte das aber der Fall sein. AVG will so sein Angebot an kostenloser Antiviren-Software finanzieren.

Dem Sprecher zufolge sollen Nutzer entscheiden können, ob sie an diesem Programm teilnehmen wollen oder nicht. Die Funktionalität der Anwendungen soll davon unbeeinflusst bleiben. Um Geld in die Kassen zu spülen sind auch Abomodelle oder Werbeeinblendungen vorstellbar, erläutert der Sprecher.

Ad Blocker:The browser comes with built-in Ad Blocker that blocks all those annoying online ads and banners

HTTPS scanning while preserving the original certificate

NEW: User interface:

More space for content, easy control
NEW: Feedback possible directly from program:
Report bugs, feature requests and other suggestions easier

IMPROVED: Home network security:

Changes from V2016 Beta 2:

- Possibility to log in more Avast accounts
- Online security plugin for Firefox is now signed and works in Firefox 42
- Online setup - better recovery if reboot appears during installation
- Passwords extension now works in SafeZone browser
- WebShield HTTPS Scanning: We introduced a new method of HTTPs scanning. It is used in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. It works without changing the certificates with the help of kernel mode hooking. The security parameters and certificates are verified by the browser itself, including checks for untrusted or revoked certificates. Traditional MITM approach is still used for IE and Edge, and is also reactivated when required for particular browser.
You can check the functionality of HTTPS scanning by checking Statistics window in Avast UI or by visiting http://www.eicar.org/85-0-Download.html.
