I would have to agree here, as the squiggle in the middle of the shield could be mistaken for anything n, o, q, anything but the avast! ‘a’
Please add encryption for SMTP settings. This is a great risk since anyone can access them in avast4.ini file. Reading info there could be used to abuse password authorized SMTP servers which are otherwise used for malware submission from within Chest.
Thanks for putting some feature of AEC on avast settings… ;D Just great… ![]()
The feature “Show results in Explorer Extension” doesn’t show the results like in on-demand scan…
Another thing: why when we click on avast tray icon and click in “Program Settings…” the window doesn’t have the skin?
Thanks for you great work ![]()
I completely agree with this!!!
I didn’t notice this security problem… :o
Just noticed another glitch in Explorer extension scan Results.

I belive that extra red text is missing. People don’t know in which unit you count the total filesize. Also rounding to nearest bigger unit would be a good idea.
Use the following table on how to display total filesizes.
<1KB,use bytes
<1MB, use kilobytes
<1GB,use megabytes
<1TB,use gigabytes (but we don’t need this one yet)
But if you can’t realize this, just extra “bytes” text in the end of value should do the trick. And dot separation of decimal places for every 3 digits.
Which are the improvements of version 4.6.684?
You need to read what Vlk said on the first page, he already told us the improvements of this beta release. ![]()
This is a beta release not a public release, so if you aren’t prepared to accept that there may be issues (and be able to deal with them), wait for the public release. Vlk said about 10 days I believe.
It shows to all the improvements that version 684 will go to bring? is there any speed improvement?
Did you read the previous posts of this Topic?
Read post 18# above.
Quote from: iwod on July 01, 2005, 07:00:24 PM is there any speed improvement?I don’t think so.
This new version anger to have improvement in the speed of scaning of the programs, and improvements in the detection of virús?
E when it will have a perfectioning in the boxes of updates, leaving prettier and friendly?
Well, I ask:“Do you prefer quick scanning or deep and precise scanning?”; I don’t understand this need for speed.
I see my problem with the initial about screen is still there.
The first time I use about, it’s blank as the picture indicates.
I still need to close that display and then select about again to get the correct display…
;D Ok, Now I think I don’t understand what’s wrong… I can’t see any changes in my splash screen…
What happened with ashQuick?
I have set up a weekly scan using ashQuick.exe to scan the list of hard drives on my system.
Until today, it has been scanning about 200,000 files (allowing for my exception list).
Today, after installing beta release 4.6.684, I monitored the weekly ashQuick scan. It scanned 3514 files. For example the only files it scanned on the C: drive were in the folder Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4.
I reverted my system back to Avast 4.6.665 (to the point immediately prior to installing 4.6.684) and ran the ashQuick scan of my hard drives again. The expected about 200,000 files were scanned. I reinstalled the beta release and repeated … back to 3514 files being scanned.
Hello:
I have a couple of problems I did’nt have before installing this beta, hope you can help me.
1 - Avast’s tray icon is missing
2 - the following error appears after starting the virus chest:
Inicialización de los archivos del baúl de virus
La acción se completó con errores.
El programa no puede utilizar el cliente del baúl de virus: (null)
—>Descripción: El servidor del baúl de virus (chest server) no está funcionando. Comunicación RPC fallida.
Inicialización de los archivos del baúl de virus
El programa intentará cargar todos los archivos del baúl de virus desde el servidor: (null)
La acción se completó con errores.
Transaltion:
it’s something like:
initialization of archives from the virus chest.
the action was completed with errors.
the program cannot use the virus chest client: (null)
description: chest server is not working.
rpc communication failed.
initialization of archives from virus chest
the program will try to load all the archives of the virus chest from the following server:
(null)
action was completed with errors.
3 - resident protection was disabled when i started the simple ui, i enabled it
and after restarting the ui, it appeared again disabled.

I think this icon could be changed to something nicer. For eg look to ewido and avast icons. avast icon looks very old-fashioned. Like in times we all used Win98. ;D But it’s only suggestion.
me interest is in the complete sweepings, it would be very good if it increased speed of the sweepings, and the sweepings when opening a program, where avast is turning and alone later the program it opens.
Also to improve the boxes of acknowledgments, those that when avast brings up to date they appear in top of the bar of tasks, in my opinion would be better if they were beautiful, this would cheer the users very.
That’s really very strange. How exactly did you schedule it? What is the command-line?
