Late yesterday (28 June 2012), AVAST Software’s VP of Windows Products, Pavel Sedina, announced a new release of avast! Free Antivirus, avast! Pro Antivirus, and avast! Internet Security.

The new version is 7.0.1451 and contains the following totally new features:

• WebRep now supports Opera
• SiteCorrect module for the detection of unwanted websites

And, in addition to the new features, our developers have made the following modifications:

• Changes in the AutoSandbox module
• Outlook plugin redesign
• Windows 8 compatibility updates
• Emergency Updater
• Improvements to Remote Assistance (support for UAC prompts, etc.)
• Improvements to avast! SafeZone™ (protection against kernel-mode keyloggers, updated SafeZone Browser, clipboard sharing, etc.)
  

We offer very special thanks to our developers, our QA team, and most importantly our loyal users, who have for many years provided us with great constructive feedback. Anyone can complain, but avast! users consistently amaze us with their new ideas.
