Oh gosh! I didn’t think about adding this and it’s now an afterthought. Haha, whenever I installed Avast!, I always made sure your notification about the Virus Database was heard and I would say “You’re Protected!”.
Finally, I would point them to your spinning tray icon and say, “See, your computer is being scanned right now and monitored for any potential real time threats.”
We all know it’s not as simple as this, but for most people this is true. (I kind of smile sheepishly to those porn users who we all know would somehow break the system and never call us again because, well…there’s only so much you can do about that…:))
So, as I’m restoring my PC, I can deal with this, but I just can’t spend the time educating my user overlords about this. Turn your scareware notifications off and send them an email. It’s so much easier to respond to them in an email rather than a frantic call while you are working.
That’s my criticism and solution to the problem.
Regards!
