Avast AV 2016 Beta1 [11.1.2234]
Changelog/Fixes:
• NEW: Passwords - Avast can now manage your passwords and generate strong passwords for you. Just one password to remember.
- checks your passwords security
- stores your passwords securely
- includes browser extensions for easier logging in and form filling
- generates strong passwords
• NEW: SafeZone browser - Replaced the SafeZone for safer shopping and banking
- Pay Mode: runs automatically on banking sites (This isolates the session and protects it from possible keyloggers or other malicious software secretly lurking on your computer. With Pay Mode you can perform all your financial transactions in peace, without fear of your password or other personal details being stolen. Pay Mode can be also turned on manually directly via browser UI.)
- 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: Installation - it should be now faster and less obtrusive.
