Avira - AntiDrive-By ?

[JosephB]

So by what approach does Avira - AntiDrive-By work ?

1) Is AntiDrive-By mean using the Webshield component ?

2) How does AntiDrive-By work ?

... I it just a real-time scan when ever a file is created on the hard drive by a "drive by download" ?

-- OR --

... Is it looking for scripting exploits in the webpage that can cause a slient drive by download ?

Yes, although it does appear to be a "separate" feature if you glance at their website (http://www.avira.com/en/solutions/home_home_office.html).

Perhaps it's some additional "technology" added that works in conjunction with the web guard. I don't remember seeing mention of it a year ago when they had the web guard alone....

One of the new features in v.9 beta (same tech as v.8 )

So this feature will be in the Premium version? So what's the timetable for a final release of version 9?
