Sorry, but I don’t quite understand your thinking there. How does “Avast U3 Edition has been discontinued” (which I knew already, read my introductory post) equate to “No other edition of any Avast product has a green installation option”?
Maybe this will clarify the issue.
The following are different things:
- Software with a green install
- Portable software targeted to use from USB drives
- U3-compliant software
Each of the above categories is more restrictive than the ones above it. Portable software must at least have a green install, but a “portable edition” might likely be smaller and have a different feature set, too. Software that was U3-compliant had to additionally meet a BIG laundry list of very restrictive requirements in order to have that label.
It has already been settled that Avast has (understandably!) discontinued its U3 edition, and that there is not some other kind of “portable edition” replacing it. I originally asked about the possible existence of the second of those options. That has been answered. I’m now only asking about the least-restrictive category.
Hopefully that clears things up!
