I have used the free version of Avast for years. Since they updated the program to not allow any Modifications to “Full system scans” i am disappointed!
Why would they change this?
I scan and the total amount scanned is just over 64k files. Which my computer has well over the 200k-400k mark.
I cannot change the settings to “Scan all files” that is complete BULL!
So i go and download the Avast Pro trial. Thinking well i will see if it works better (Thinking of buying it) But i look and even the trial you can;t change “Full system scan”???
Is this a joke? Scanning is the ONLY main thing that can for sure keep a computer safe. Real time shields are only cosmetic.
This makes me want to change to a different anti virus, no matter if Avast is better or not!
You only need one mistake, to loose customers. And loose them for good.
This is one of those mistakes. No one can feel safe UNLESS scans scan ALL FILES!
Whats the difference in trial vs free version? Only 2 shields.
A trial version of any software has to give the full benefits of the program. Or it is pointless!
Why should i spend money if i cannot see if it is better than the free version?
Looks like i know why your competitor for free anti virus (AVG) has more customers. BECAUSE YOU CAN SCAN ALL FILES!
If this issue isn’t addressed, that is exactly what program i will be turning to, and buying.
Cause at least i can see what the full paid version can do, and not be limited.
Its only a 1 time 30 day trial, as if you would loose any money.
no anti virus is 100% detection rate. So when something gets passed the shields, you have no way of knowing, because you cannot scan all files, or change setting from normal, to high.
Avast used to be able to, but in no way would anyone pay for Avast if they cannot see the difference of a paid version from a free version. 2 extra shields is nothing close to being enough to buy a program “To see” if it is better.
Worst move you could possibly make. Your making computers unsafe without being able to scan all files!
