I know there is a sticky thread above like this, but it has become too long so I will post what I want in the next version of avast!
*More professional looking Skin. Thw whole stereo thing is hard to navigate and is just plain dull. Options like Scan, Update, Options and so on instead of play, local disc, iavs and such which some users won’t quite understand.
*Less memory usage and quicker scanning speeds for Windows NT,2K,XP.
*A list of infections found instead of the popups that scare the crap out of you
*Ability to add files to chest for protection such as important pictures and documents and system files.
*Ability to edit VRDB.
*Less complicated terms for newbie users, instead of complicated names like Win32.Trojan-Gen, a simple name like Generic Trojan. Or Downloader.Zlob.cs, would be Zlob Trojan Variant CS.
There will be no skins in version 5.0 but a revised GUI. Whilst there is still skins, you should check out the many others available, they certainly aren’t “the whole stereo thing”
Personally I see no difference between generic trojan than win32.trojan-gen, it is all just as meaningless to your average user. By having a name that is less complicated as you say would mean less meaningful information returned on a search for instance.
The VRDB isn’t a back-up feature it doesn’t back-up anything, it compiles a database of information to help restore (executable) files to a pre infected state, it doesn’t back-up in the normal understanding of back-up, e.g. copy files, that would take up far too much space.
tech when you say VRDB is old what could they possibly do that could take its place I thought that was needed to return files to their original states ???
So, just beacause a thread is getting bloated, we all can open new ones? And get millions threads about same things? Me, personally, like to have all discussions about X in a thread about X, and Y in Y…but that’s me
