Avast Free Antivirus 6.0 is release

Avast just release their free version of new antivirus, the Avast Free Antivirus 6.0 .

This new product that being continuously being develop by Avast in their fight in the competition between Internet security vendors, in my opinion are one step stronger home computer security product than the previous version 5. Although it's nothing much different in it's new interface, since it's only add 1 new fixtures that instantly seen in this version, the fixtures called Additional Protection which actually contain 3 services :

• AutoSanbox. This service allow Avast to automatically places programs when it being suspected being threats into a virtualized state. It's suppose to be able to prevent them from potentially damaging your system while allowing them to run. Avast's sandbox allows the program to run, while keeping track of which files are opened, created, or renamed, and what it reads and writes from the Registry. Since permanent changes are virtualized, so when the process terminates itself, the system changes it made will theoretically evaporate.
  
• WebRep. It's actually a browser-security add-on & works like WOT (Web of Trust), It supports a search result ranking and Web site reputation service that uses a combination of data from Avast virus labs and user voting to determine a safety score for a site. At the current time this service only supported Firefox & IE, although there been issue that they will soon support Chrome in the near future.
  
• Site Blocking. This service allows you to block access to specific websites/URLs, by manually adding the web or URL address that you wanted to block.
