Title: Poll : Bring back VPS (virus update) sound and/or Notification
Post by: Alikhan on February 10, 2017, 07:10:22 PM: I want to see other users opinion on whether they want the VPS update sound and/or notification back.

Please post and give an explanation of your reasoning.

Post by: RejZoR on February 10, 2017, 07:20:49 PM: Both back, but disabled by default. Antivirus is suppose to be a quiet thing, sitting there quietly, protecting you, but some people developed an odd urge to have something obnoxiously loud on their PC instead. Go figure :D

Post by: abruptum on February 10, 2017, 08:06:21 PM: Is it only me or there is no more Avast sound when scanning is finished (when nothing is found) ?
Both Smart and Quick Scan.

Edit:
BTW I selected to bring both back also.

Post by: Gopher John on February 10, 2017, 08:53:44 PM: I voted to Bring back both the sound and notification of VPS updates. There should be the ability to disable sound and/or notification. Having the notification was nice, especially since sometimes the VPS server farms in some areas quit working properly. Fortunately, Avast has corrected that situation.

Post by: DavidR on February 10, 2017, 09:21:48 PM: I don't mind one way or the other. If sounds then the option to disable the sound, but if it is a no return, then the UI needs to reflect that, remove the element for Sounds.

Post by: Charyb-0 on February 10, 2017, 09:59:15 PM: The first thing I do is turn off all Avast's sounds. Her voice has scared the heck out of me one too many times plus I don't care for the interruption.

I voted bring back both but disabled by default. Those that don't want it won't have to dig for settings to disable it.

I loved the very old avast4.x Alert, now that really was an alert, scared the pants off you along with the Radioactive Tri-foil style image.

Post by: TrueIndian on February 11, 2017, 12:55:46 PM: The notification with the sound is something that is re-ensuring for the users atleast from what i have seen.

I have got a dozen of people pestering me with:
avast! isn't working properly it doesn't give me update notification with the sound.

So i am voicing this for them.

Give them their chick back.... ;)

Post by: Alikhan on February 12, 2017, 08:27:02 PM: Bump... looking at the poll so far, users favour for both VPS sound and notification to come back while some prefer them to be there but disabled by default.
Title: Re: Poll : Bring back VPS (virus update) sound and/or Notification
Post by: bob3160 on February 12, 2017, 08:42:40 PM: Both off by default. If you want it it's available. If not that's also ok and set that way by default.
