Was informed that these are no bugs, but expected behavior in the new version.

I really do hate this change for changes sake, this is just another pain in the rear with an in your face popup requiring manual intervention.

I suppose having effectively abandoned the popup settings, the ‘show last popup’ is redundant as the popup is in your face forever, plenty of time to go have your lunch, come back and read it.

It used to be that avast was the most configurable AV around, now I’m not so sure.

My Little Windows 7 Sp1 Intel Atom PC, can’t even hardly rez the standard ui, not sure how it will do with 17.6 and Full Screen protection dialogs, gonna have to get it on there to see in a few minutes

I know my big Windows 10 8 Core Desktop can probably, but also don’t like that, as why a full screen, why can’t it stick to taskbar notification like it has been for years? Why change something for the sake of change?

Yes Dave, I’m no fan of this new sticky dialog approach either.

Disappointing… >:(

What is wrong with the Current(Stable) POP-UPs? Really dislike the direction they are heading with usability and interface.Pls bring back the version 4 GUI… ;D

Patrick2 · 2017-08-06T18:31:34.000Z

Yes why change the alert popups for infected item for Local file shield and Webshield and Behavior shield? Change for Change Sake? The full screen in your face popups is just gonna cause older folks to be alarmed, or click something wrong I think when it popups

Been using Avast since 2006, and not so sure on Avast direction lately

No to centering malware popups.

No.

New detection dialogue does not allow me to choose what to do when set to ask; is this correct behavior?
It only asks “Move to chest” and “Ignore”, no “Delete” or “Repair” available.

Is it just me or is Avast become more like AVG ???
I thought that Avast purchased AVG not the other way around.
Sorry, don’t mean to ruffle any ones feathers but we seem to be loosing some of the good
things that were part of the Avast UI.

+1
Not only the good things, but those that made Avast Unique.

Aside from being highly configurable for the user, hell if I had wanted AVG, I would have gone back there or not left over 14 years ago.

Same here.Currently Avast became AVG. Going to ESET or Emsisoft.They have simple UI and Highly Protected.

Can someone work on this so it’s easier to see how the update is progressing.
Color choices are terrible.
