Avast Screensaver

Is the screensaver for AV8 the same as Av7? The reason I’m asking is because when I had version 7 and was using the screensaver I never got a message saying threat found. The one I used with Version 8 detected a threat last evening and again this morning. I’ve run quick scan at least 4 times and full scan once and the results showed no threat found. I stopped using the screensaver so I won’t have to see anymore threat detected messages. It doesn’t even look the same as Version 7.

I posted another message in the Virus and Worms section along with some screenshots.

I really like the latest version of Avast but I would kind of like to go back to version 7 but I don’t know how to do that.

Any replies would be appreciated.

Thank you.

the question is wrong.....it is not the screensaver that is scanning....it is the scan engine in avast the screensaver just start the scan

is the scan engine different in avast 8 … do not know
anyway you are not the only one that have reported win32:malware-gen detections

I really like the latest version of Avast but I would kind of like to go back to version 7 but I don't know how to do that.
lets say you found out you would stop using avast and use another AV...how would you do that? yepp, the same way, uninstall the one you dont want, install the one you want

@Pondus,

I don’t want to get a different AV, I just want to know how I can go back to Avast Version 7.

i did not think so, it was an example. ::slight_smile:
