Changing the avast voice?

Am I the only person that thinks it'd be damn cool to change the "Virus database has been updated" voice to a pirate voice? It'd be more fitting with the name.
"Yargh, avast ye. The database has been updated. Shiver me timbers!"
That'd rock.

Hi zpyder & wellcome to the forum
& why not, you are sure can change the voice notification, simply by editing the default *wav file, but in case of anything please be sure to make a backup copy of the originall one
.
Take care. Rostik.

Probably
I never hear it anyway as I as a dial-up user have mine set to Ask when an update is available and because you acknowledge the update to install it you don't get the voice notification.
There used to be a female voice which was good.

The second post of this thread
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=2986.0
has a link to download notifications in a female voice. Just a pleasant female voice, though, not a pirate.
I remembered this thread because I downloaded these sounds after the male voice announcing my virus database update nearly scared me out of my wits once when I was alone in my house. (I am also on dial-up, but I have updates set to automatic on this computer, which usually works well.)
P.S. The download link still works.

If at first you don’t succeed; call it version 1.0
