Yesterday, Avast Software made news with its acquisition of privacy company Secure.Me, a little developer best known for its Facebook programs of the same name. Secure.Me protects users' Facebook accounts, monitoring all photos and activity, detecting malware links, and identifying content that is unsuitable or questionable for children. After some intrigue, Apple releases Safari 5. Today, Avast makes news again with a minor update to its complete suite of Windows security applications--Avast Free Antivirus; Avast Pro Antivirus, Avast Internet Security, and the full monty, Avast Premier. Avast version 8.0.1488.286 fixes some bugs in the interface, adds a progress bar to the Data Shredder tool, makes the software screen-reader compatible, and improves the Software Updater (allowing it to be turned off completely); but the main new feature is the integration of Avast SecureLine VPN, a paid service that runs $69.99 per year. SecureLine offers users portable VPN service that can be accessed anywhere they travel, providing extra security for public hotspots as well as the ability to access geo-restricted Web sites. SecureLine was formerly a standalone product from Avast, and this update is likely the publisher's attempt to get the service in front of millions of eyeballs, but $69.99 per year might be a tough sell when many users seem fine with free, advertising-supported VPN clients like HotSpot Shield.
