How can we thank you more?
You’ve addressed perfectly all issues.
@Vlk,
Short: please don’t add “too many” relatively infrequent and generally not recommended GUI options for installing Avast.
Explanation: I personally like to have clear options to install. But for “relatively infrequent” (and not generally recommended) installation options, like the one presented by the OP, I think that a command line argument is better suited, instead of having GUI check boxes.
So, such an option could be a command line argument for the “AvastSetup.exe”, as “/silent” is.
Thx, VLK!
Finally an answer.
Regarding point 2), I don’t think it’s not an issue, did you see the screenshot attached to my first post? I wouldn’t call that “few resources”. That screenshot was taken several minutes after the installation was completed, I wouldn’t call that “brief” either.
Regarding point 1). Yes, I know you recommend against it, that’s mwhy I ask it’s made optional and not removed altogether…
I just hope you guys can take this into consideration. I think this could help improve the user experience with avast!
bye!
Well, that screenshot was taken after you attempted to kill it, no?
That is not normal behavior during install (99% usage), unless you still dwell in the land of Pentium.
If yes, then that is likely part of the reason attempting to kill it is inadvisable.
Well. I didn’t try to kill it, I merely pressed the “cancel” button when the message “Performing a quick scan” (or similar) appeared and the installation finished normally. Then, I registered the free version, the sigs were updated and the process was still running. It kept running for several minutes after the SS was taken and then finished normally.
The PC was a Netbook with 1GB RAM (Atom N270).
bye!
