[danny96]

Confirmed features:
- Cloud technology
- Remote access
- New User Interface
- Improved behavior shield
- Browser sandboxing
- Streaming updates
- Compatibility mode (to use Avast! as 2nd line of defense)
- Phishing protection
- Safe zone improvements

My/some brainstorm taken suggestions:
- Repair broken system functions after malware attack (only IS & Pro)
- Automatic Autorun disable ability
- Parental control (only IS)
- Improve BS with pop-ups
- GUI similar to Kaspersky 2011 interface (I like K11 more than K12's UI)
- Integrated Avast! rescue disc (only IS)
- Virus cleaner built in (like Avast! 4 had)
- Advanced Task scheduler
- Show warning when Self Defense is off
- "task manager" showing running processess and their trust level (for example: explorer.exe - trust level: ok)

Nesivos's Suggestions:
- Make Avast! 7.0 Beta compatible with Windows 8 Beta or better yet the W8 DP
- Add x128 compatibility
- Add Android compatibility
- Develop a Metro style version and add to the Windows Store.

Andrey,Pro's Suggestions:
- control for modification of hosts files (i want to add the button agree or disagree for modification hosts)
- control for modification Windows registry (system  items)
- decrease of memory usage

[Hun]Kranazoli's Suggestions:
- Splash screen after logging to Windows (like ESET does - a nice feature)
- Automatic scan dialog (tray popup window) after plugging an USB drive (built in feautre some other VirusScan products)
- Make Avast Web-Reputation modul compatible with Firefox 8

- Automatic Autorun disable ability

Isn't this already disabled in windows now? (IIRC there was an update that did it?)

- GUI similar to Kaspersky 2011 interface (I like K11 more than K12's UI)

I prefer avast's GUI, to Kaspersky...and well they can't just copy. I don't think it will change much.

- Show warning when Self Defense is off

This is one I have been asking for for a while...

When Avast! 7 will come out, all paid antivirus products will crash and all will want only avast!  will be the cloud technology in free version, too?

if you are so confident in avast, why do you use eset?

[antrox]

I like these innovations, but would like Avast did not lose its current design quality) I especially like the wonderful pop-up messages (but not like a big white button that you just added to them)

HI I was wondering if I could ask a question recently I read a review on avast 6 during the review the reviewer test avast 6 said that avast 6 does not remove the whole viruses from files that the virus can still be in the file and their fore the virus or malware is not fully removed from the files on the computer. I would just like to now will avast 7 be able to remove more malware and viruses from files better then avast 6 can.

Will avast 7 free beable to detect more strains of viruses on the internet and detect more malware.

thanks have a good day.

please DO NOT use the kis gui... avast's is much better imo

[Lisandro]

I really thing protection should come very first than cleaning (when it's too late).
Anyway, hope avast 7 has a better cleaning pattern.

1)control for modification of hosts files (i want to add the button agree or disagree for modification hosts)

It won't be bad, on contrary, +1.

2) control for modification Windows registry (system  items)

No, please. It will be a nightmare of popups...

3) decrease of memory usage

It's always asked, they're always working on it...
