I am the Admin.
This was a straight upgrade from the AVG branded client I’d already rolled out, using the custom install package I’d created, to the Avast branded one via “Component Scheduled Update” in the custom master policy I’d created.
I’m not some “numpty” that hasn’t managed PC estates (biggest was 10K+ endpoints). I’ve also managed antivirus protection ranging from Sophos Sweep under NT4, through McAfee, and Kaspersky from v6 to 10 and ESET.
UPDATE:
Ok, just to be certain I picked one endpoint, manually uninstalled Avast Business 4.0.0 client, created new custom install package in the CloudCare portal (still no options to disable ANY of the noddy “home user” features), and re-installed using that (what should be a correct Avast_CloudCare_Setup.exe).
Result - EXACTLY THE SAME! (see attached pics), apart from the stupid DNS Protection had gone (that has absolutely NO place in a business product).
The “Loading” bit in the background of pic5 is it trying (for ages) to load up the totally unwanted home user “Password Protection” password manager. Still present is the dire “PC CheckUp” (these usually do far more damage than good).
Nope this is NOT a business product.
