Hi yes status monitoring was removed as the system of warning messages has been changed. Now you can Ignore specific messages directly on the dashboard. The ignored warnings can be later found in the notification center.
No it doesn’t mean that. The behavior of the systray icon stays the same. So in case a shield is turned off user will be notified by yellow mark on the systray icon, then UI opens with details why it’s yellow. And with an option to ignore such warning.
Surely that was the point of the status monitoring, to allow the user to disable notification on certain components in advance of any warning. Previously I believe the Behaviour Shield status monitoring option was off by default, how then would we know if an option was disabled for a shield ?
I had also unchecked the Program Update status monitoring option in this current beta session as I had many BSODs on one of the beta builds and decided to drop back to the last stable beta.
So are you saying that once you get the warning for the first time you can elect to ignore that for all time ?
If so how would the user reverse and temporary use of the status monitoring option in the past.
Or are you going to have to ignore it every time, which doesn’t seem very intuitive to me.
It seems that a lot of Avast changes are to remove control of Avast (and it’s settings) from the users, so we are blind. Avast seems to want total control of our computers.
From the systray icon you can only disable all shields at once, and that is imo undesirable as that is too much of a security risk.
It should be possible to select which shield(s) you want to disable.
Whilst that would be preferable, but that is one area ‘that hasn’t changed.’ Whilst it is possible to disable one shield from the avastUI > Settings > components.
Something that for years was meant/promissed to be updated/improved is the very same avast tray icon context menu to allow easier access to UI areas. This has essentially remained unchanged, whilst all around us is changing and not necessarily for the benefit of the user.
What was wrong with the status monitoring? It was perfect and one of rare AV’s that had full control. With all others, as soon as you disable something, they keep on bitching about it till you enable it back, even if you don’t want to for whatever reason. And it was a centralized control. Where will be these hide/unhide now? I just don’t see it practical.
I found an bug of ransomware protection,when i add folder or drive to this option my folder or my drive for protect not add even after restart windows.
