I was fortunate to be invited to APAC Venture Glitz & Glam Bloggers Party on 20th June 2012. More than 200 bloggers, celebrities, media members and partners were gathered at Zouk KL for the official launch of Avast Version 7 and WeChat social app.
Avast Version 7 & WeChat Launch
WeChat
An introduction about WeChat here if it sounds unfamiliar to you. WeChat is a free multimedia communication app originated from China and developed by Tencent, China’s largest internet service provider.
Among the features of WeChat are:
- text messaging
- hold to talk voice messaging
- broadcast (one to many) messaging with extensive range of emoticon and emoji
- photo/video sharing
- location sharing
- contact information exchange
- “Look Around”, “Shake” and “Drift Bottle” function to discover new friends
 |
| Trying out Shake feature. I call it the Fate feature because only people who shakes their phone at the same time as you will appear. |
 |
| Trying to throw a bottle into the virtual sea |
 |
| “Look around” will show WeChat users near you. |
- Faster information from the “cloud” on new and emerging threats
- Remote Assistance feature
- Account feature to monitor Avast! installed in listed computers
- FileRep feature sorts new, potentially dangerous files from known safe files
- Compatibility with Windows 8
- Speed and memory usage optimizations
