Personally, I think it is totally unacceptable that with the newest update, Avast enables an email signature that previously did not exist and I only discovered after sending an email to a superior. I was going to call customer service and complain, and I still might, but if anyone uses this forum I figured this issue might gain more weight with more support.
Avast enables an email signature that previously did not existThat is fully logical. The webmail scanning only exists since the last version.
I was going to call customer service and complainNot possible, the phone support doesn't handle such things. https://www.avast.com/total-support
Agree with the complain. Disable is not the answer. Who has allowed the Avast to manipulate a text of message and add the signature!? I was compromised when a professional e-mail, sent via a www-based client, was ended with an Avast signature, furthermore - a signature in Polish!
Yes, I have set my Avast to Polish but never use that language at work! Unacceptable! Shame on you, the Business Manager, who has allowed to develop such an offensive feature!

Sorry but there’s nothing offensive about a message that states that your correspondence is safe.
You chose the language. If you don’t want the message, simply turn it off. It’s very simple to do.
Sorry for resurrecting a dead post, but what ought to have been a dead problem has come back. I wholeheartedly agree that the email signature should not be enabled by default, and the first time that it came up I was annoyed, but I located the option and turned it off without complaint. However, it seems to have re-enabled itself on its own. I don’t know if it happened in a recent update, but this is a little silly. It was bad enough the first time, but now even after checking the option “I don’t want this to happen”, it comes back? I understand that it is a quick and easy thing to fix, but I’d rather not play a long, slow game of whack-a-mole. Antivirus software is supposed to help avoid that sort of thing.
@ tiberius,
Did you do a simple update or a clean install ???
Simple update from a previous version should have saved your settings.
Anything else, does not.
