Title: Karma and Badges processing is ready
Post by: OndraM on November 12, 2014, 12:10:42 PM
Today we finalised analysing account history so you should see all you Karma and Badges correctly. If not, please report it here.

At my.avast.com it still says beta.
A small thing that need to be changed i.m.o.

Mine also is still stated as being the Beta version... Please help :-)

Post by: OndraM on November 13, 2014, 10:09:04 AM
It will stay a Beta for a while. At least until the real rewards (licenses, etc.) will be published. Otherwise it would not be a much a of "rewards" feature.  ;)

According to what MartinZ wrote at Karma points/bages not getting activated (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=157581.0) if we don't see all our Karma and Badges correctly it might take some time to update.
we apologize for the problems but for current Avast Account users the history will be added in the next 2 weeks. There is some computing part needed to scan the history of all accounts and assign the points, so please give us little bit more time.

You're saying we should report it right away?

Yeah, I noticed that.
I just wanted to make sure with OndraM whether or not we should wait a little before we report.
I don't think that a storm of people who have this issue, like me, will be a good idea in a case we indeed should wait...

So, storm ahead! (I guess...)

I didn't get the Community Member badge although I set the "Participate in the avast! community" a long time ago.
Unsetting and resetting it won't help...
I attached two screenshots.

In addition, I don't have the Long-Term badge although I'm using avast! with my account for way more than a year.
From when is it counting? If it's from more than a year back - than I have another missing badge...

Hello Oz, thanks for report. I checked it. Long-time membership is counted since you registered and because you registered your Avast Account on 6th December 2013 you should get your badge pretty soon but not yet.
I see, that you are a member of Avast community now. But I am right, that you still didn't upgraded to Avast 2015? Only current version of Avast is sending gamification events. Old versions are not supported.
In the export record I don't see flag, that you are community member. Can you confirm, that you were using Avast actively during last three months and at the time you were Avast community member?
Title: Re: Karma and Badges processing is ready
Post by: REDACTED on November 17, 2014, 02:04:31 AM
Thanks a lot for your reply!
As for the Long-Term badge - I'll wait.
As for the Community Member badge - I was indeed using avast actively, and I'm on an older version (2014.9.0.2021) since it won't automatically update the program although it's set to do so. (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=160247.0)
I'm waiting with the manual update since I'm waiting for Avast support team to answer my ticket since it's an ongoing issue for more than a year now.
Title: avast Free Antivirus recommendation links
Post by: REDACTED on November 23, 2014, 03:34:45 AM
In my Avast Account page (https://my.avast.com/) there's an option to send a download link with my tag so avast will register my recommendation and grant me extra karma points and a free Internet Security license after a number of downloads.

  • Can I refer people to the direct download link of avast and still be credited?
    i.e. if my recommendation link is:
    http://www.avast.com/get/uYWvX8Ua (http://www.avast.com/get/uYWvX8Ua)
    which will lead me to an explanation and to a download button which leads to this link:
    http://www.avast.com/download-thank-you.php?product=FAV-TAG&locale=en-ww&tag=uYWvX8Ua (http://www.avast.com/download-thank-you.php?product=FAV-TAG&locale=en-ww&tag=uYWvX8Ua)
    which will initiate the download of the installation which link is:
    http://bits.ff.avast.com/rd/avast_free_antivirus_setup_uYWvX8Ua.exe
    can I refer people to the direct download link of avast and still be credited? (the third and the last link above)
  • Is there a way to tag the offline installer as well?

Add 1. It actually doesn't matter which link you will use to get karma points. All that links points to add your recommendation id to the Avast installer.
Add 2. I don't think it's possible.

Hello Aron, thank you for being interested in Avast rewards. Because of technology karma points are not processed on the fly, but it has some delay. But events were captured and as I see now your karma points should be fine.

In the last week or so, I made 2 or 3 recommendations but that din't unlock the badge and I was not given the karma for the first recommendation. Can someone tell me when are they going to be registered? Thank you.

Hello kello05. Great to hear, that you recommended Avast to the others. But you will get your karma points (and badge) when someone will really install Avast using your recommendation link and will really use it. I see that nobody has used your recommendation link yet.

Something must be wrong, because I personally installed Avast on two of my friend's PC's using my recommendation link. I even connected them to an Avast Account in the hope that I will receive my badge and karma. Is there another request other than installing Avast and runing it?

Hello

I got a link to this thread from the non-english-zone (German).

I have some trouble with my license for Avast. I recommended 21 friends but I only got 2 licenses. Waiting for some weeks to get the 3rd and last license, but it didn't appear. What should I do? Can anyone help me?

Hi keloo05,

Can you please provide more details about the link you used?
avast generating 1 link, but eventually there are 3 different links which result in one installation file.
Will you please provide your installation file name?
I think it should be something like avast_free_antivirus_setup_[your tag ID].exe (while you should replace your tag ID instead of [your tag ID]).

In addition, please look at these messages:
In my Avast Account page (https://my.avast.com/) there's an option to send a download link with my tag so avast will register my recommendation and grant me extra karma points and a free Internet Security license after a number of downloads.

@matej.plch, thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I just want to notify that although I'm using one of these links the file that is downloaded is avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe and not avast_free_antivirus_setup_uYWvX8Ua.exe.
So again, as you said, I should be credited?
The installation somehow recognizing this, although it seems that the generic online installation file is downloaded?
Title: Re: Karma and Badges processing is ready

It's only little bit confusing URL naming. The recommendation number is included and you can find it in avast5.ini after installation.

I logged in to my account and copy-pasted the link into the browser: http://www.avast.com/get/dQ3Mw0WR, and I eventually got avast_free_antivirus_setup_dQ3Mw0WR.exe. I think that's something wrong with my ID because I can't find it in avast5.ini.

By eventually you mean after you ran avast_free_antivirus_setup_online.exe and it downloaded the files?
If you mean that you got the avast_free_antivirus_setup_dQ3Mw0WR.exe by downloading from your link (http://www.avast.com/get/dQ3Mw0WR), then I really don't know how did you get it since and I got avast_free_antivirus_setup_online.exe and not avast_free_antivirus_setup_dQ3Mw0WR.exe
If you did get avast_free_antivirus_setup_dQ3Mw0WR.exe right away, how did you manage to get it?
What browser are you using?
Is it the same in other browsers?

Well, the file's name is avast_free_antivirus_setup_online.exe for everyone, but if you look at the link it's avast_free_antivirus_setup_YOURID.exe. I hope you understand now. So, what I basically want to say is that I followed the same steps everyone does, but I didn't get any karma for that. So the recommendation was not registered into my account, and I think that something might be wrong with my ID.

matej.plch said that you can find your ID in avast5.ini. Well, I can't find mine (see my previous post).
Title: Re: Karma and Badges processing is ready

I hope someone can investigate what happened with the installations from the ID I provided (dQ3Mw0WR, the one from my account), and if that's really the ID linked to my account or there's some sort of mistake. Thank you.

Post by: REDACTED on November 25, 2014, 09:25:55 PM
Hello keloo05. You can't see recommendation number in your installation. Your recommendation number can be seen in installation made from file downloaded from your recommendation link. I personally tried install Avast from your link and your recommendation number can be seen in avast5.ini (but you will not get recommendations for this installation because I immediately uninstalled it).
Number of installations made from link you provided is 0. So although you provided link to your friends, they didn't install Avast using that link. Or they were not using Avast for enough time. Keep in recommending Avast and your will get your badge and karma as soon as someone really use it!
Title: Re: Karma and Badges processing is ready
Post by: keloo05 on November 26, 2014, 12:52:23 AM

Hello lindaj. Your case is the same case as keloo05's one. You probably sent recommendations link, but it is not enough to count it in your karma. I see that nobody used your recommendation link. Keep in recommending Avast and be sure that as soon as someone will really use Avast from your link you will get what you deserves ;).

Hello. You got your karma points for forum posts and full scans you did on 25th November. You can't get karma points every time you do some action- this is our protection against misusage of this system.
I will investigate why you didn't get points for Backup install.

Unless the profile information to the left of posts reads "Avast team" then they aren't going to know. Even then all Avast team members aren't going to know only those actively involved in the my.avast.com development, such as those Avast team members that have already responded in this topic.

I don't know if simply installing is enough to get anything registered - a number of backups over a time frame (unknown) to show you are actively using the function would be more appropriate.

Personally I feel this Karma and Badges frippery is the stuff of social networking/chat rooms and security companies should stick to security related activities.

It should really take only few hours.
This looks like some bug.
We tried to reproduce the issue, but unsuccessfully. Can you help us little bit please? Do you remember what did you installed first? Avast Mobile Security or Avast Mobile Backup?

I installed first Avast Mobile Security and then Avast Mobile Backup. They worked well, but I did not get badges of Avast Mobile Backup. I am saddened that I got the badge Avast Mobile Security, but I did not get the badge Avast Mobile Backup.  :'(

How to get the "Mobile Security" badge? Install Avast Mobile Security on your Android device. Don't forget to pair your device with your Avast Account. How to get the "Mobile Backup" badge? Install Avast Mobile Backup on your Android device. Don't forget to pair your device with your Avast Account. I have done both, but I got just "Mobile Security" badge.

Thanks for additional info. We were able to reproduce your case and this is an issue we thought it has been already fixed. But it seems, that there is still some problem. So you did everything right, but there is a problem on our side. I can't say when fixed version of Avast Backup will be released, but we will fix your karma as soon as it will be done. Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks a lot for report. Don't worry gamification is still in beta, so you are not missing anything (rewards etc.).

I have connected Facebook and Google+ profile to the avast account. But I think it is not counted as karma points.  :'(
Can you please send me more info? When did you connect and describe how did you do it?

I have connected my account in the previous week. I am not remembering the exact date. An Image is attached showing how I connected those accounts.
Thank you

Thank you for report. We were able to reproduce this issue. Will be fixed in next release. Your karma points will be fixed also.

I have 4191 karma points, with 38 users that have installed avast through my referral link and I have already installed avast Internet Security.
So... what I have to do now?

I mean, I still have 4191 karma points, what can I do with 'em?
This goes for all of us, right now not much till Avast decides how to reward us for all of the points we've accumulated.
I have given away quite a few licenses to friends since I only have so many computers. :)

At least two of my badges aren't showing up, the community member, even though I have it ticked in my settings. and the long-term user. Seeing as I've been using Avast since I was in college and that's a good 4 or 5 years ago... i definitely think I qualify for that one.  :-\

I hope the reward program will let us choose other things than licenses to other products. I'm very close to a Silver Badge.

Or they were not using Avast for enough time

Maybe that's the reason. I hope I will get the karma when the 2 PC's will be used on a daily basis.

Can some Avast representative tell us based on what is the reccomendation added to your account, and how long can it take? Is there a certain task that has to be completed by the recommended user (like full system scan, quick scan) ?

It's not the recommending that counts it people using the special link you supplied, installing and registering the program
that gets you credit. :)

No, other than what you see in your ranking Worldwide.

I honestly can't see the purpose in a leader-board, this isn't golf or gaming.

It will take me forever (and I have been using avast for over 11 years), as I don't give out the referral link to those whom I recommend avast. I require no incentive to do that and give them a direct link to download avast free.

Recommendation is only the first step, those you recommended it to have to:
1. install it using your unique URL.
2. register it and use it.
3. I presume that they would have to use it for a little time before you actually get credited for it.

As an avast user I can't say when it will pass from beta to live.

Very very very long time ago I covered the norm for a 3-year Avast Internet Security license, but I still expected it.  :(
How long should I more wait to get my 3-year license?
Title: Re: Karma and Badges processing is ready
Post by: DavidR on June 15, 2015, 03:43:16 PM
If you qualified previously then you should have been able to download the license.

What does it say in the current my.avast.com account on ?
If thee is no license to download, what points do you have ?

As far as how long to wait, that is unknown as the points qualifications is still in beta.

If your license wasn't notified to you previously in my.avast.com so you could download it, then you would have to wait until the beta testing of this 'new' points system is finalised.

You say you were "told i would get years full lic once I had promoted to the value of 2500 points"
Where were you told this and crucially when ?

It is only recently that the license related to points previously it was 15 recommendations to friends, etc. once they had installed and registered avast.

As has been mentioned many times installing it doesn't automatically update your my.avast.com account.

They have to install it, register it and user for a period of time (not known) before you are credited with the recommendation.

Please don't use CAPS, it is classed as shouting - I have answered your question, in the post directly above your post. It takes a little time before they will be credited to you.

Otherwise they could install it and then uninstall it - there has to be a period of use.

My account here is from 2008. According to Avast I have 48 friends from over a year ago who have already installed Avast from my recommendation.
04.08.2014 I downloaded my Avast Internet Security 2-years license. Accordingly program license expires on 04.08.2016.
Now on my.avast.com account there is only this license and no other. Where is my 3-years Avast Internet Security license?
I wait long enough to get that license, so I suspect incorrectness in Avast and attempt to deceive me (and probably not only me).
