Popular free anti-virus has become more like a traditional commercial antivirus products, for example, from Symantec - instead of familiar blue tones Avast 4.8 uses shades of gray and orange, but the interface has become stronger and clearer.

In particular, the beta version does not include components for rootkit detection and the detection of malicious programs on behavior (Behavior Shield).
