AVG Antivirus Beta 17.5.3017

Thanks.
Installed in VMware and miraculously was greeted with this message (after install).

Also, Ransomware protection was not installed by default which is rather odd.

Third: is it known problem that Ransomware protection has no icon on the menu?

Fourth: Toggle-button is a bit off

Where are the offline links?

As far as I am aware, there are none.

Tried to install 3 times with different options… Ransomware protection was not installed by default.

The Ransomware protection icon could be a padlock, it would be cool.

Well the attached Image 2 in Reply # 1 already has a padlock icon (Private Data) in use, having the same icon for multiple functions could cause confusion.

It could be a notebook with chains that zip by a padlock.

Personally being ransomware I would think a bandits mask (like the firefox private browsing icon) with a $ (or Bit) Coin icon.

I think no ransomware protection in the free version, but in internet security ??
What about this option in Avast ?

RejZoR · 2017-06-03T21:39:37.000Z

Installed this beta and Antiransomware was nowhere to be found. w00t?

It would be great if Avast devs merge Avast and AVG into only one AV solution, using the UI of AVG. Just a wish …

I guess that it is to be able to test it in as many systems as possible, if it were only in the AVG Internet security only it wouldn’t get a large number of beta testers. If it was in all beta builds then it would have a wider distribution for beta testing.

And for avast how’s that protection going to be? Only a paid version can enjoy?

You already have an answer for that by one of the Avast Team, hectic-mmv, Reply #11 above.

RejZoR · 2017-06-07T16:39:04.000Z

Yes, Anti-Ransomware will only be in paid versions.

Staticguy · 2017-06-07T18:21:08.000Z

Well that sucks and it’s very unfortunate :(. Avast Free has Anti-Ransomware in it, why can’t AVG Free have it since Avast bought AVG?

cristianojgm · 2017-06-07T18:23:04.000Z

Yes, Anti-Ransomware will only be in paid versions.

Is avast pro version also going to have anti-ransomware? Or just the internet security and premier versions ?
