I would like to be able to find out why my account says I have 2 devices when I only have 1. Simple question that a Customer Service Dept could easily help with.

Well you aren’t actually talking directly to customer support, mostly it will be avast users helping others.
It also is off-topic for this topic about Avast Features and should really have been in its own new topic.

That said aren’t you getting any more details ?

When you talk of devices, that isn’t something I’m familiar with in regard to Avast Products, more so in regard to two licenses/subscriptions, etc.
A screenshot of this notification might help ?

I will vote for that antivirus timeline so you know when your AV is doing surtain things. I want to know all of that thing.

I suggest reviewing the main screen. It is very poor in information, indeed there is nothing except that the system is protected. It’s better than AVG with much more information. Add last updated information, active modules, and a scan button … :wink:

I defenetly agree. the status screen should have some quick buttons to launch a scann and updates.

Updates can be launched from the avast tray icon, no need to go into the UI first.

Though there has been talk (but no action) for a very long time about a revision of this feature to include common actions. So far nada, nothing, bugger all.

So how about the promised update of the Avast Tray Icon context menu.

I preferred this.

It really made getting to some functions very easy and had the ability to expand on that functionallity.
As David mentioned, the expansion of the system tray right click function has still not implemented.
It would certainly make life easier for all of us.

My personal UI favorite was V7 - just for the record. :wink:

Avast 7 wasn’t bad, some images here - https://expertvista.com/2012/avast-7/
Avast 6 was very similar.

For me Avast 8 was the start of the rot, with the introduction of the new Microsoft Tiles (massive) interface style (that everyone and their friend was copying. Though the nice background image never got to fruition (outside of the blog article) that I can recall - https://blog.avast.com/2013/03/28/the-avast-8-user-interface/

Yes I also like version 7 compared to what has evolved since.
And do agree with David’s comment on Avast UI (version 8’s unfortunate direction)

I totally agreed with the comments by TheOwner and rocksteady.

And, I had pointed out that we need a stable and reliable AV as well as no needed resources-ate monster for many years ago.
Now, Avast still make the bulky and push the buggy upgrade to end-users even the paid version…

Have Avast listen what customer needs indeed ???

I don’t vote.

My sugestion :

In the " Ask me about decision " procedure from CyberCapture Technology, offer to run an unknown executable in the Sandbox ( as a limited user ) as well.
Also for Avast Free users.

Greetz, Red.

It is not feature at all, but please give us back OK and CANCEL button in settings. It is so important, because prevents from any missclick, which can be very dangerous on security software.

You should also add some kind of a backup system for the avast premium security users, i mean some kind of a data backup.

What kind of data? You can already back up your Avast settings.

I was a little unclear, i meant like a storage vault for your personal files, similar to what for example norton offers, like a data backup for your important files.

Important files stored on your computer regardless of how safe don’t help when the harddrive fails. That’s why you creat an image backup on a regular basis
or, save them to the cloud. Both Google ans Microsoft make sincing to the cloud very easy. There are also other companies that offer the same thing.

Hi,

I would like to see as new feature: a device control shield. To control external HD´s, flash drives,etc.

-Where you can block unknown devices or the ones designated by you and detected by Avast

  • Where you can unlock or whist other devices connected to your computer.

Kind Regards,

In Avast Free, disable any pop-up ads that urge you to upgrade to the paid version. :wink:
They are useless. If one wants to switch to the paid version, he doesn’t do it because he keeps seeing this pop-up, unfortunately these pop-ups instead do nothing but make Avast Free users switch to other free antivirus solutions.
