Avast Mobile Security - Unsafe Network Notifications

Hi there,

I’m using AMS for years now, everything’s great, but this new interface is kinda…different. It doesn’t have a professional/serious look.
Anyway, my problem is with notifications: Sometimes it shows “You’re safe”, but most of the time it shows that “X network may be unsafe”.

That is happening with the same two networks from the same router, even after I open the app to scan them. After a few days the message returns.
That’s annoying and of course, nothing changes to the networks, device, app and so on. With the older version (design) of the AMS I’ve never had this problem.

Any idea why?

Hi,

is it really after few days? I’ve been told it should be in approx a month or so (since the scan information/results become kinda obsolete in time cause the network setup could’ve changed in time).

It happened to show after 1-2 weeks from what I remember, not a month. I once restarted the router and it showed again these messages.
I know they are safe, but while I can life with the “You’re safe” message in notification bar, I can’t with such a message which hints at something not being secure.

As a side thing, I think some settings for the notification area would be great. As you can set warnings/popups for the desktop app, it would be great to set what Avast can show there. Maybe I want to disable only the notification for the network because when I’m connected I know I’m at home/work and they’re safe. Or maybe set the app to show there something interesting, facts about security and stuff. In that way the space is not wasted just for a useless notification, and can really help the user.
