Hi,
it has been restarted today, will display 3 times this week.
If you are using Avast on a laptop in a college dormitory, is it normal to get this message?
Are you actually getting the message ?
As I believe it would require that there be 5 or more avast free users active on the network.
I actually am getting the message, yes. Our university issues students laptops that come with F-Prot Antivirus, which I don’t entirely like, and I recently decided to switch back to good ol’ Avast. I’ve received these messages I’d estimate three times; I suppose a lot of other people had the same thought I did.
They periodically run this check and they have just run it again this week (3 times) as MartinZ said in his post. The problem being that with a lot of people connected to a network it must look like a small business network would look.
I don’t know if others on the network might well have changed their systems to avast, quite possible as you thought.
Vlk, please give me some answer.
Would it be possible to check/verify the number of avast unique installations connecting to the same business IP address.
Today I’ve visit an enterprise with more than 100 computers all using avast free antivirus…
Today I've visit an enterprise with more than 100 computers all using avast free antivirus...And you didn't pull the plug ??? ;D
Why will this help? Giving example? Preaching?
Apparent language barrier.
Pulling the plug means to shut the thing down.
No problems Bob.
Which “thing” are you talking about? Their network? Their computers?
ma aunt got this today they have 2 computer at home and almost cant even get their email without issues (computer illiterate lol)
For “only 2 computers” they wouldn’t receive the “corporate pop up”. It is set to at least 5 systems. They might have “some other systems connected” (non-wired connection unprotected?), or there is another explanation.
they only own 2 pc’s and have a blu ray player and wii which are wireless NOTHING else…
Is there any possibility that others are also using the wifi and that they also have Avast?
I don’t even know if that would trigger that message. We may be confused about the exact message. Could you attach a picture of it to your next post?
In any case, it is not something “permanent” (it is not a message showing every 5 minutes on every day).
no one else using her wireless i had her check in the router. she is in nc and im in fl so ill have to see if i can get her to send me a screenshot next time she sees it
still getting these
thought they were supposed to stop after a while
what’s the deal?
They’ll keep popping up every once in awhile. It’s not like you see them every day…
i don’t want to see them at all
You’re SOL then. I find it a minor inconvenience to have for such a great anti-virus that’s provided to me Free for Personal use. So what if it thinks I’m on a Corporate Network and nags me once every 6 months? It’s not like they lock out the software preventing you from using it. If you really want the pop up to go away, purchase a license. I’m sure it won’t ever pop up again afterwords… Though I couldn’t say because I’m not AVAST.
