A pain in the butt… I have not been keeping track but it seems at least weekly my stupid android installation says “your wireless network might not be secure”, and then makes me scan it, and then of course at the end, it says it is secure and I get a page of crap ads.
Stop it! Give me some way to stop it scanning known networks. I have 2 at home and 2 at work and so I get FOUR rounds of nagging about once a week.
How do you expect people to graduate from the free to the pay version if you have software that keeps harassing you?
I’ve just verified that this notification is actually controlled by “Potential Wi-Fi issues” (turned on by default) switch in Settings → Notification Settings.
If you turn off this switch, you’ll never see this notification.
In case this switch is not there or not working, please try to update to latest version and try to turn off this switch again.
It does say might not be secure and that is true.
A lot can have changed in 4 weeks and without a new scan avast doesn’t know if there where changes or not.
Seems to me the message that avast gives after 4 weeks is correct.
After reading all the posts, seems to me that Chevron’s issue is the same as mine as well as many others. We have main networks that we connect to. For example, Home, Work, maybe the gym or say our siblings’ and parent’s homes. We want a way to designate those particular networks as exceptions. Because we might still connect to other Wi-Fi networks, such as restaurants, stores when shopping so we can compare prices better. And so on. Turning the notification off is not really a viable option when one considers just how many different Wi-Fis we may be connecting with. The annoyance is that we are being notified repeatedly about networks that we know and trust. So if any of the developers read this, could you please try to give us an exception option? That would be totally awesome.
