• Boot-time scan — Users can schedule a boot-time scan to remove infections that load during Windows startup.
• Virus Chest — Quarantine; folder where infected files can be stored. The virus chest also stores vital system files to protect them from damage by malware.

This supplements regular virus updates, keeping users informed and protected regardless of their internet connection.
• FileRep - The FileRep feature enables faster threat identification by sorting new, potentially dangerous files from known safe files. Sourced from the CommunityIQ sensor network, the data helps avast! decide when questionable files should be placed in the AutoSandbox.
