Title: Java Avast
Post by: REDACTED on November 13, 2016, 06:44:22 PM

I only want to know if Avast uses mainly Java
If it`s not what technology or programming language does it use?

avast is hardly using any java (if any at all)
This has already been explained in other threads.

Please (re)search before posting.

In the jobs put this
CODE MASTERS
Do you dream in Java and know what Hadoop is? From R&D to both Windows and mobile development, from Virus Lab analytics to internal systems and QA, if you love code languages we’ll keep you at the head of your game.
And most of the jobs requires Java

Check out the about avast, from the tray icon, it gives acknowledgements of some elements used.

I don't see JAVA in that list, but I don't believe that lists the language the program is actually written in.

Given that JAVA is a massive target for malware I would doubt that it is the case. Plus one of the avast team has responded (lukor) in the link given by Eddy  "mosty C/C++". Mind you that is a very old topic.

Many people don't have JAVA installed as it is much depreciated and because it is targeted by malware.

Yes I can see the code if I decompile the files which is not allowed.
And why would I do so as people from avast already have told what they are using?

Why asking and not do some reading/(re)searching/using your brains ?
