關於AVAST
在 80年代後期,捷克電腦技術創新者Eduard Kucera 和Pavel Baudis開發了一個專案,他們稱為「殺毒高級元件」 (AVAST)。後來,他們發現avast在英文中正好代表了「停!」的意義,象徵了他們的專案將能遏止病毒對資訊安全的威脅。
和最開始的時候一樣,現在的我們仍然相信,所有的網際網路使用者都需要並應該使用防毒軟體。這款防毒軟體應該可靠、快速、不吃資源、穩定而安靜;此外,也應該能夠達成自動掃描與更新,僅僅偶爾提醒用戶它的一切運作正常。基於這樣的想法,我們提供了全功能的avast免費家用版給全球用戶,其功能超過了許多知名的付費產品。
我們的經營模式是獨一無二的。我們不依賴廣告或宣傳,而是將注意力集中在研究開發、病毒研究、用戶分享和建立一流的專業團隊;因此,我們有三分之二的用戶是來自于朋友間的推薦。
我們的用戶通過avast社群機制與我們共同合作,藉此每個月我們可以偵測到11億到14億個惡意軟體,其中超過10億源自受病毒感染的網站,而用戶則分享這龐大的資安資料庫以獲得更完善的保障。
高效能防毒軟體的唯一選擇就是 avast!
