I have avast since… 2007? Maybe early? I have it since LOOOOOOOONG time ago. After so many years I just cant use it any more. I’m CGI artist with access to nightly and beta builds of programs. I upgrade programs every 2-3 days. And every time I have to upgrade something AVAST JUST RUIN MY DAY ! It active scans, deep scans and all the other shit cans that just breaks everything. Errors out my installs, then errors out my licenses, then errors out my activation licenses then I have to call the support to activate and fix my programs then I waste 2h fixing my damn software !
STOP FKING UP THE DAMN AVAST DEAR DEVELOPERS!!! I give it 1 more month then I’m going for alternative. I cant take this anymore after 6 months of hell.
I love avast but the way you guys were making it in past releases its just more and more painful to live with.
An FYI to Essexboy’s post.
I have ‘Hardened Mode’ set on “Moderate” and get plenty of Popups to new .exe/processes to add to Exclusions.
I don’t really now how much more aggressive this feature might be if set to “aggressive”.
There are two settings available in Hardened Mode. The moderate setting means no files with poor reputation will be allowed to run. The aggressive setting means that only whitelisted files will open. These two settings provide greater control and security to a PC and are especially useful for novice users who may not be aware that opening certain files can bring great risk.
It is a bit of a contradiction in terms, by setting it to aggressive it is less aggressive than the Moderate setting. As essexboy mentions, this also replaces the DeepScreen, so to all intents and purposes you get less intervention.
