Deploying Avast 7 settings to clients.

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi,

I’ve installed Avast 7 Pro on several machines.
Is there a way to deploy settings?

E.g. import the pro_av_7.0.1426_xxxxxx.avastconfig from the command line, including the password.

An excellent question.
I too would like to know if it’s possible to install avast! preconfigured according to ‘avastconfig’.

And not only the initial install, but also a change in configuration.
E.g. I would like to add an exclusion to all installed machines. This would be a manual action for all.
It would be great if there was a way to re-import a .avastconfig file.

I understand this is a potential security risk. But I would like to decide for myself whether or not to do so. In 4.8 there was a way to do so.
We upgraded from 4.8 Pro to 6 and 7 Pro. If I had known the limitations with 7 Pro I might have chosen to go for Business Protection or even another brand.
