If a user attempts to run a suspicious file, CyberCapture locks the file and sends it to the Avast Threat Labs, where it is analyzed in a safe, virtual environment.
Avast CyberCapture: Prevents sophisticated malware from infiltrating a user’s system.
Connects to our cloud engine to leverage threat intelligence from our user base.
Avast DeepScreen: Utilizes a virtual machine, which clones the OS to test suspicious files, as well as machine learning algorithms to identify similarities with known malware families.
Features are collected during emulation and malware is then blocked according to our unique rule engine.
Emulators: Protects against zero-day malware and vulnerabilities using two emulators, and increases resilience to malware sample modifications.
Based on the analysis, our fast and efficient static scanner then characterizes the file as safe or malicious.
Static Scanner: Analyzes code and binary objects prior to execution, using machine learning and a variety of detection methods.

Avast Web Shield: Processes all traffic coming over HTTP and encrypted HTTPS connections, using URL detection algorithms to protect against phishing, as well as full content filtering to stop malware that may be contained on these sites.
When malware targets a user’s device, we use 7 layers of deep protection, powered by our unique cloud-based analytics and machine-learning techniques, to keep them safe. Our next-gen antivirus solutions use a multi-layered protection approach against cyberattacks.
