Avast 5.1 已可直接更新上 Avast 6.0.1000
已經可以用 Avast 5.1 內的程式更新直接升級上 Avast 6.0.1000，但官方論壇還未有 6.0.1000 的 release note。

Avast 6.0 beta 試用
Avast 6.0 已推出第二版 beta，修正了第一版大部份的臭蟲，便下載來試試。
Avast 6.0 免費版也加入不少新功能或強化了原有功能，官方公佈如下︰
- AutoSandbox – suspicious programs will be optionally run sandboxed
- avast! WebRep – browser plugin for website reputation rating
- Script Shield now even in the Free AV
- Site Blocking now even in the Free AV
- Restore factory settings command (Settings -> Troubleshooting)
- Automatic actions in the boot-time scan
- New compression method in the installer makes the setup packages about 20% smaller.
- Script Shield now functional even with IE8/IE9 Protected Mode
- Sidebar gadget
- Improved stability/compatibility of the Behavior Shield
- Improvements in the avast! sandbox
注意安裝 6.0 前要先移除原有 5.x 版，安裝時已提供繁中選項，安裝後也如前版要程式註冊。
新版介面並沒有大改變
免費版加入了原付費版有的腳本防護功能
其他防護下可以找到 6.0 的新功能-全自動沙盒、網頁信譽評價及站台封鎖
新的全自動沙盒會將可疑的應用程式開啟時自動移到沙盒內執行﹐不過預設會有警告示窗彈出，詢問用戶是否確定程式在沙盒內執行，若是用戶已知的安全程式，可以選擇不在沙盒內執行。
用戶可以在警告示窗勾選記住程式的沙盒設定，也可以在沙盒的設定視窗加入排除檔案。
網頁信譽評價會在瀏覽器的工具列上加入小圖示顯示正在瀏覽的網頁是否安全，按一下小圖會彈出評價視窗讓用戶反影對網頁評價，可以看到這部份還未中文化。
新版也提供桌面小工具，不過用處不大，功能似乎跟原有小圖示重疊。
試用感想
1. Avast 6.0 維持原有佔用資源少及不大影响電腦效能的好處
2. 免費版可享原有收費版的功能，防護有所加強
3. 個人一直以 Comodo 防火牆配合 Avast 使用，Avast 新版的沙盒及加強了的行為防護跟 Comodo 的功能有所重疊，試用時 Avast 沙盒內的程式可用性似乎比 Comodo 沙盒差，Avast 沙盒中的 Q-Dir 就不能抄擋案，Avast 的白明單似乎也比 Comodo 的少，所以之前試用行為防護時有些不必要的彈窗，所以個人選擇不安裝 Avast 的行為防護，不過也可能是本人常的程式比較配合 Comodo，用戶可以自行試試那一個程式的沙盒及行為防護會較合用
4. 試用了一天，beta 版暫時沒有特別問題

防截鍵及螢幕軟件 SpyShelter Personal
截取鍵盤記錄及螢幕是間碟軟件偷取電腦戶私隠的方法之一， SpyShelter Personal 的主要功能就是防止不明或沒有許可的程式截取鍵盤記錄及螢幕，此外它還可防護剪貼簿及有簡單的 HIPS 系統保護功能。
SpyShelter 其實是有點像 Comodo 的主動防禦，所以開始時也會有不同的詢問彈窗，用戶也可以設定自動功能讓 SpyShelter 自己決定是否放行程式，但用戶可能要手動修改沒有被自動放行的程式。
雖然已經裝有 Comodo，但 SpyShelter 最大的好處是防截鍵及螢幕軟件的功能比 Comodo 強，所以同時安裝使用。
官網介紹
SpyShelter uses special algorithms to protect you and your data against:
* Spy and monitoring software that are used to steal or reveal your data to other parties.
* Extremely dangerous and custom-made keyloggers that steal information you send via your computers- these are favorite tools of cybercriminals.

Dr.Web® LiveCD
之前介紹過用 Avira AntiVir Rescue System 為不能開機的電腦清理病毒，Dr.Web 也有提供 Live CD 下載幫助不能開機的電腦清理病毒。雖然 Dr.Web 的病毒偵測率可能比 Avira 低少許，但有測試顯示它有較強的清毒能力。
Dr.Web 只提供光碟 ISO 檔，所以下載後要用燒碟軟件把它燒制成開機碟。
官方介紹
If your Windows or Linux system has been rendered non-bootable by malware, restore it for FREE with Dr.Web LiveCD!
Dr.Web LiveCD will clean your computer of infected and suspicious files, help you copy important information to a removable data storage device or another computer, and then attempt to cure infected objects.

Microsoft Security Essential 2.0 正式推出
微軟正式推出了 Microsoft Security Essential 2.0，MSE 第一版的口碑只是一般，但看過網上一些對 2.0 的前期測試有不錯的評價，說是加強了 IE 及 Windows 內建防火牆與 MSE 的整合，使他對用戶上網時有更強的防護，據聞新版也加入了類似智能行為防護的功能。
電腦玩家有編詳細的介紹，我就不在這裡多寫了。

金山毒霸
金山最近也加入了免費防毒軟件的行列，本來在虛疑機上試用可牛，但可能因主機上的防毒有網絡監控或是和虛疑機不夾，所以不能自動更新，那就正好試一試金山毒霸。
金山毒霸在一些測試報告上的病毒偵測成績並不出色，但它的效能及資源佔用表現上卻十好，那正好配合防護力較強的 Comodo 防火牆使用。
安娤毒霸時會警告軟件只適用於大陸及簡體視窗，但我安在繁體視窗上也沒有大問題，只是其中一個非主要功能頁面出現亂碼，而且也可以用 Applocale 解決。使用上暫時沒有發現問題，也真的很省資源，希望它能加強查殺能力，說不定未來主機也會轉用它。

兩個加強 Firefox 瀏覽安全的附加元件
LinkExtend
當我們用搜尋引擎來搜尋網站後，搜尋引擎並不會告訴我們這些網站是否安全、是否值得信任，某些防毒軟體雖然提供了網站過濾功能，但是由於網站內容更新速度快，不見得能夠完全過濾掉不安全的網站。
LinkExtend 是能夠用六種網站檢查引擎來過濾網站安全的 Firefox 擴充套件，讓你在下載檔案前能預先知道該網站的安全指數，再來考慮要不要從該網站下載檔案。

VTZilla
之前也介紹過 VirusTotal 網站，該網站內建了超過四十種掃毒引擎，只要上傳一個檔案(最大20MB)就可以檢查是否帶有病毒。如果你想在下載前就先讓VirusTotal來檢查的話，可以安裝VirusTotal所提供的 Firefox 檔案掃描擴充套件–VTZilla。
