Hi, Avast enthusiasts. We'd like to hear your opinions on some possible features we're thinking of adding to our antivirus.
(These are just ideas for now, so there's no guarantee that they'll become reality.)
Just click the link below to see high-level descriptions of those features, and let us know what you think. You can also vote on your favorite features and even submit your own ideas.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Hello Avast team,
you are thinking about adding new features because you MUST release new version each month, but most of those features are more or less bloatware. This product became very fat over time. What about remove unnecessary bloat from this product and make it lightweight with minimum impact on computer performance? Try think about that.
In fact, for computer security you dont need 3rd party AV because Win 10 has everything. So reason to install Avast should be better detection with less impact to computer performance. If you install Avast only active shields are necessary with wifi inspector if you want use it. Installing 3rd party firewall these days while win firewall is sufficient make no sense with potentially problems. AV should work silently on background but this will never happen in Avast. Spyware and often ad popups are cost for Free version (Paid version watch you too).
This is just my opinion what make this AV better, adding new features and make this product even more fat is no way to go. Removing ads, spyware and bloatware and focus on pure performance and detection, then you maybe bring back Avast users you already lost. But this is your product, do what you want.
-
The choices offered, don't give you the opportunity to actually voice your opinion.
It's multiple choice and they don't necessarily fit the actual opinion one wants to share.

I'm sure that added protection would not be available in the free Avast Firewall.

Avast gives you the option to install what you want by using custom install or changing the program under Programs and Features. Currently, there are 6 items I uncheck at installation. You don't have to install what you consider bloatware. Others may find new features useful.

You can comment on your choice by selecting nice-to-have, important, or critical and you can submit your own idea.

No, but you still pay more and more for each new useless function. :-\
On the other hand paid users are what allows the base (antivirus) to be efficient even for free users.
Too bad the policy (this poll and the loss of AIS say a lot about that) is not to make all users pay very reasonably for what they have as security with avast free.
But if they don't, they have their reasons.

Precisely why I made my comment. It isn't a true review but multiple choice and none of them may apply.

Of course i uncheck features i dont want. I mean adding more things to this product may slow down your computer, if they must run realtime (firewall, behaviour shield, ransomware shield.....). This is only paranoia, if you use brain you cannot get ransomware at all. This may be only useful for people without backups, but those days everyone has backup of important data. In other hand usefull features like file shredder, which has no impact on computer performance and has free alternatives is paid.

Firewall redesign (premium version)
Make our paid firewall easier to use and more effective by:
• updating its design
• improving the handling of firewall rules and customization options
• adding more security features
I second the suggestion from Martin.
Currently, the FW settings are spread over several different areas. Not user friendly..!!

It shouldn't take a genius to figure out how to set up custom settings.
The default should be set to keep the average person safe with easy to understand explanations on the various settings and functions.
Make it simple so that even a Senior can understand it. :)

I wonder if it is worth suggesting reformatting the geek:area, but is not a thing that could be monetised, so forget that idea.
So the phrase "none of the above" comes to mind. IMO Avast need to get back to concentrating more on the quality rather than quantity of features.

Not just reworking the geek:area were you have to scroll forever to find anything, but also time to completely redesign the whole UI. It is not very intuitive and getting very tired and not really easy to navigate.
The UI also needs to support modern hi resolution screens, e.g. be user resizeable.
Generally I do a minimal install and then check two other options, mail shield, software updater and lately the do not disturb function. The rest is just too much noise.
-
I vote for the Old setting menu, specifically that shield part that let use excluded file/folders/process from SHIELDS ONLY.
None of actual voted options are something I care fore
-
I vote for the continuation of the Avast Passwords Manager
which is scheduled to be discontinued.
-
The hacked passwords and web notification features look most useful. Driver Updater might be, if it doesn't risk applying the wrong driver e.g. a generic one instead of for a specific laptop configuration.
There should really be an option to choose 'Don't want' as some of the suggestions are not even a 'Nice to have'... I don't think Speed Test has any place in an AV, it's really not hard to find several good tests online. The AV Timeline will also be of no interest to the vast majority of users who just want an 'install and forget' AV.
Firewall redesign in Premium is most welcome! But would the lite version be any better than the built in W10 firewall? If not, it's probably not needed and just adds extra complexity.
-
I also support all 3 suggestions by Martin.
For me
" improving the handling of firewall rules and customization options"
is something I've always looked for.

Well you aren't actually talking directly to customer support, mostly it will be avast users helping others.
It also is off-topic for this topic about Avast Features and should really have been in its own new topic.
That said aren't you getting any more details ?
When you talk of devices, that isn't something I'm familiar with in regard to Avast Products, more so in regard to two licenses/subscriptions, etc.
A screenshot of this notification might help ?
-
I will vote for that antivirus timeline so you know when your AV is doing surtain things. I want to know all of that thing.
-
I suggest reviewing the main screen. It is very poor in information, indeed there is nothing except that the system is protected. It's better than AVG with much more information. Add last updated information, active modules, and a scan button ... ;)
-
I defenetly agree. the status screen should have some quick buttons to launch a scann and updates.

I defenetly agree. the status screen should have some quick buttons to launch a scann and updates.
Updates can be launched from the avast tray icon, no need to go into the UI first.
Though there has been talk (but no action) for a very long time about a revision of this feature to include common actions. So far nada, nothing, bugger all.
So how about the promised update of the Avast Tray Icon context menu.
-
I preferred this.
(https://d1ka0itfguscri.cloudfront.net/Lh/2020/09/26/11/47/cYQOXHdaJt/preview.jpg) (https://youtu.be/Je7KLDx3m4k)
https://youtu.be/Je7KLDx3m4k (https://youtu.be/Je7KLDx3m4k)
It really made getting to some functions very easy and had the ability to expand on that functionallity.
As David mentioned, the expansion of the system tray right click function has still not implemented.
It would certainly make life easier for all of us.

Avast 7 wasn't bad, some images here - https://expertvista.com/2012/avast-7/
Avast 6 was very similar.
For me Avast 8 was the start of the rot, with the introduction of the new Microsoft Tiles (massive) interface style (that everyone and their friend was copying. Though the nice background image never got to fruition (outside of the blog article) that I can recall - https://blog.avast.com/2013/03/28/the-avast-8-user-interface/

Yes I also like version 7 compared to what has evolved since.
And do agree with David's comment on Avast UI (version 8's unfortunate direction)
-
I totally agreed with the comments by TheOwner and rocksteady.
And, I had pointed out that we need a stable and reliable AV as well as no needed resources-ate monster for many years ago.
Now, Avast still make the bulky and push the buggy upgrade to end-users even the paid version.....
Have Avast listen what customer needs indeed ???
-
I don't vote.
My sugestion :
In the " Ask me about decision " procedure from CyberCapture Technology, offer to run an unknown executable in the Sandbox ( as a limited user ) as well.
Also for Avast Free users.

It is not feature at all, but please give us back OK and CANCEL button in settings. It is so important, because prevents from any missclick, which can be very dangerous on security software.

You should also add some kind of a backup system for the avast premium security users, i mean some kind of a data backup.

I was a little unclear, i meant like a storage vault for your personal files, similar to what for example norton offers, like a data backup for your important files.

Important files stored on your computer regardless of how safe don't help when the harddrive fails. That's why you creat an image backup on a regular basis
or, save them to the cloud. Both Google ans Microsoft make sincing to the cloud very easy. There are also other companies that offer the same thing.

Hi,
I would like to see as new feature: a device control shield. To control external HD´s, flash drives,etc.
-Where you can block unknown devices or the ones designated by you and detected by Avast
- Where you can unlock or whist other devices connected to your computer.
Kind Regards,

In Avast Free, disable any pop-up ads that urge you to upgrade to the paid version. ;)
They are useless. If one wants to switch to the paid version, he doesn't do it because he keeps seeing this pop-up, unfortunately these pop-ups instead do nothing but make Avast Free users switch to other free antivirus solutions.

Couldn't agree more, it is the cost of free, certainly in the case of Avast.
I obviously have a higher pain threshold :) in fact at times it brings a smile to my face as to how pathetic/dumb some of them are. I just ignore them. None are going to get a positive action for me, so essentially they are a waste of time.
You do have a choice, if they bug them that much you can vote with your feet.

Hello Avast team,
you are thinking about adding new features because you MUST release new version each month, but most of those features are more or less bloatware. This product became very fat over time. What about remove unnecessary bloat from this product and make it lightweight with minimum impact on computer performance? Try think about that.
Correct.
Removing ads, spyware and bloatware and focus on pure performance and detection, then you maybe bring back Avast users you already lost. But this is your product, do what you want.
Also agreed but paying customers deserve to have their voices heard and improvements made, or Avast will likely lose more customers. This isn't an issue just with Avast but with many bloated AVs. Avast is not nearly the worst in this regard, but it could be much much leaner.
Gaming Edition
Echoing the sentiment that the poll doesn't let you actually voice your opinion, only to say if the new features Avast is considering are important to you, or VERY important to you. I think a gaming edition is a bad idea. Why would you want a themed antivirus? If you only played a specific game on your PC, and did nothing else, that might make sense but it's still unnecessary and implies Avast doesn't need improvement, when it still does. Furthermore graphical flourishes and themes slow down the software, and the OS. These effects are often bottlenecked by the speed of a single thread, so even as PCs get more CPUs, such themes perform significantly worse than using the native Windows user interface APIs to draw normal, less fancy Windows. Themed antivirus is a very dated concept and in my opinion a bad idea overall. Further, having a second "edition" will just create confusion, waste resources that could be spent on improving the main application.
Internet speed test
We don't need this. A few of the features are just things that web browsers or web sites already provide. Making the AV even bigger with unwanted features doesn't benefit anyone- please invest the resources and time instead in slimming and improving the program so people want to use it.
Thanks for asking for your users' feedback!

seeing as you removed the "old" setting and if functionalitly to block/App files/folders specificly from a one or all the SHEILD
Atlest make the FREAKING Block/Allow APP work for ALL the shields and not JUST the ransom shield
Also MAKE it SO Exceptions to SCANS can be PICKED for SHEILDS or ALL SCANS and not blanked expections the make ALL scans ignore file/folder/etc another thing the "old" setting menu could DO and did just fine to the DAY it was removed
Bring said functions back, the lose of functions are why I been toying with going with another AV program I already removed AVast from everything but my personal pc cause the other system become to slow with avast

I appreciate all the feature enhancements Avast has been making however I would sincerely request if Anti Spam can be re-introduced as the number of spam/phishing emails that reach my desktop email is quite high. I really hope this feature is added in the near future.

Hi
Here is another request, which I have also mentioned to avast under submit idea:
How to automatically rescan when scheduled scan was missed?
Under settings in avast antivirus free under the custom scan, it says that PC must be on at scheduled time for the scan to run.
But if PC is not up when scan is scheduled, how to automatically rescan when PC is up again to recover missed scan?
Background:
I have a number of customers, which I have set up for weekly full scan at a certain time. However since they are using their PC/MACs on adhoc basis, they often miss the scheduled scan. I.e. they use their PC only if they need to check something, so they can not tell when PC is powered on.
Also other vendors are having this feature.

How does it work? Is it a cloud sandbox?
I tried to disable file protection but I don't see cybercapture working when running files. Most are recognized as malicious by behavioral analysis some remain running.
But at this point I wonder but is there a sandbox in the free version? If you are Cybercapture? But should it always work for potentially malicious files not recognized by the "file protection" shield?

Could you re-added the registration feature on Avast Free Antivirus, please? Because I think it is safe to have a license key even though it is just a free version.

Could you bring back Avast Sandbox feature to Avast Free Antivirus, please? Back to 2012, this feature did help users in my company to avoid being attacked by unrecognized exe files. After that, it has been removed and causing a lot of troubles for my company.

You could add a quick (very fast) scan of USB drives as they are inserted.
At the moment the user can choose to have the popup appear to execute the request.
Therefore, the option of automatic scanning on user choice could possibly be implemented.

Avast already scans any activity on the USB that you plug in, personally scanning dormant files is link on-demand scans in general of limited benefit.
As Bob said depends on the data on the USB, I have a 2TB external HDD (that connects by USB), I certainly wouldn't want that scanned before I do my backups.

I highly recommend that Avast Free Antivirus Installer should only include basic features like File Shield, Behaviour Shield, Web Shield, Mail Shield, Ransomware Shield and Rescue Disk because others are totally not free at all and they make the Avast installers become too big. As a result, Avast slow any PC down no matter how powerful it is.

Just for clarification, Parts of a program that aren't running don't affect your system.
They may be taking up unnecessary hard drive space but don't have any impact on the system.

There is nothing to stop you selecting the Minimal Installation or Custom Installation when you first install or change the components you want after installation. Control Panel > Programs > select Avast Antivirus and then Change.

Could Avast team bring back "the registration code" feature, please? Because I didn't see any remaining days left when using Avast Free Antivirus . As a result, after twelve months of using Avast Free Antivirus, it suddenly requires me re-active the program when I don't have access to the Internet at that time. Consequently, I felt so disappointed to lose the protection of Avast until coming back home. So could you bring back the registration code for Avast Free Antivirus along with one-year license so that I can see the remaining days left of the program and re-register the program before its expires.

1.I think avast team should Include Parental controll,Because children are using pc and browsing lots of things, avast omni is expensive,so that avast parental controll should be inclued with avast premium antivirus,
2.Hard disk Health test feature
More Idea is coming......ASAP :) :) :)

How is Hard Disk health related to cyber security?
There are already many utilities available that will do that for you like
like Hard Disk Sentinel (http://www.hdsentinel.com/) and HDDScan (http://hddscan.com/).

Sorry to say very disappointed with anti track that is part of the later bundle slows down all web pages. Completely stops access to some emails as it takes to long to allow them to load they time out and then you get the stupid ox app page comes up and slows it down even more so then no access to emails until you remove anti track from pc. BUT you are still paying for it but cant use it as it stops things that would normally work in no time at all from running But hey Avast don't care they already have your money and you struggle to get any help from them that does any good to make it work properly. I asked for part refund as cant use anti track but was told it's part of the bundle price so no refund unless I uninstall all avast from pc. Seriously looking to change anti virus supplier even though been with avast for years and had no problems up till latest "bundle" installation and on-going problems with it. And before anyone comments on try this or try that I have been there and got the T-shirt even avast tech-nerds cant sort it so what do us lowly commoners do????

Best for Protection,Performance
THis essential feature is missing from my openion i am sharing with Avast Security Expert team
In NORTON they have Cloud storage supprot,25 gb+ they are giving to Consumer.but Avast dont have this feature.
(as a consumer i think THis feature will give us EXTRA security Feature surity)
Cloud storage has nothing to do with security.
I'm sure they would welcome you with open arms and your windows 7 system.
I store nothing online, I much prefer to look after my own files, etc. by doing regular backups to an off-line HDD/SSD drive. No limit of 25GB, 2TB HDD and 1TB SSD.

Sorry that has nothing to do with security. Even with Cloud Storage, which there free and paid options already out there. They also cost money to source server space, etc. and 25GB isn't that large. However when you are talking of hundreds of millions of users that is big, who is going to pay for that.
Fortunately I'm not the one who would decide on this, just an avast user playing devils advocate. I don't just wish I think it through as to how much it would cost and who is to pay for this service if it were ever to be considered.

As already stated, Cloud storage has nothing to do with security.
There are many choices if you're interested. If you're using Office 365, you already have 1 TB.
