In the case of a false positive result, where Avast Behavior Shield keeps detecting and blocking a program which you trust, you can easily choose to add it to exclusions and Behavior Shield will leave it unsupervised. Avast relies on artificial intelligence like neural networks to do this before the Avast cloud puts all the actions in a global context and allows for ultra-fast reactions across all the protected endpoints.Īfter detecting such possibly suspicious files based on their similarity to other known threats or any other uncharacteristic behavior, even though the files in question may not yet be added to the virus definitions database, it blocks them from further performing any other duties and reports the behavior to you before any damage can be done. To carry out its functions, Avast Behavior Shield conducts real-time monitoring of all processes on your PC, searching for suspicious behavior that may indicate the presence of malicious code, without you even knowing it. The program has been described by the company as a patent-pending technology that protects users from zero-second threats, ransomware, cyber spying on passwords and bank account details, and other malicious programs since it looks at programs and files that may have already passed through initial security checks.Īs mentioned above, the shield program comes along with the Antivirus package which means it automatically starts protecting you as soon as it is installed, without the need to be turned on separately.
Avast Behavior Shield is a part of the Avast Antivirus that provides an additional layer of protection for its users.
