Espanol / Re: AVAST PARA LINUX MINT 2.0

« Last post by guillermo220 on Today at 03:25:27 AM »

Hola.

La respuesta corta es: no.
La larga: hay alternativas para servers de antivirus de windows, con la idea de detectar virus y otras alimañas para windows.
Hay gratuito un antivirus que ahora no recuerdo el nombre, con su interfase gráfica.
También hay herramientas que proveen otro tipo de seguridad como chkrootkit y otros.
Pero en resumidas cuentas, no. Como tampoco se puede usar la vpn de avast.

Saludos.

Avast Secure Browser for Android / Re: Moving Files from the Avast vault

« Last post by DavidR on Today at 03:16:43 AM »

I have  to say I'm a little confused as to exactly what the problem is.

You say you have downloaded a file and it seems impossible to move or find.
1.  Downloaded files would be scanned by the Web Shield first and foremost.
2.  If found/considered to be malicious then avast would have abandoned the download.  So it wouldn't have been sent to the avast Virus Chest.

3.  If this file were already on your system and subsequently scanned if considered malicious then avast would have sent it to the avast Virus Chest.
If this was the case then you should be able to access the Virus Chest from the avast tray icon, see attached image.

If it exists then there should be options on what to do.

So what have you tried ?

Why is it that you are trying to retrieve it ?

Avast SecureLine VPN for Windows / Re: No Internet connection when Avast SecureLine is turned on

« Last post by juvyjabian on Today at 02:14:35 AM »

I have the same problem here. I just bought Avast VPN and after turning it on, my internet connection just lost. I turn avast vpn off and my internet is back.

What could be the possible reason for this?


Thanks

General Topics / Re: Beware Malwaretips.com

« Last post by kenny556 on Today at 01:23:46 AM »

Jack and spawn use to moderate a site called Remove-malware.com back in 2007-2008. They use to have a forum but not anymore. Long story short they had a moderator that was banning people because of views if you didn't like Norton or Kaspersky you got banned on remove-malware. This was one of the reasons why jack created malwaretips. History is now repeating itself once again only worse!!! Now you got multiple ass hats banning users for no reason. Jack and spawn have now become an image of who this abusive person use to be but they are more "silent about it". You would think even after all these years they would know better. If they took a good long look back at history. They would know that malwaretips is about to end up in the same boat. It's funny how when jack built malwaretips he always said how he would let people voice opinions. Now malwaretips has turned into a censorship group which is quite surprising. Do I have you're attention now jack and spawn? Because I'm willing to bet you know who I am now. Jack and spawn do both yourselves favors if you don't give a shit about the forums anymore give it to someone who actually does. Because you both have done a horrible job it's time to retire. If not someone will build a better one its not hard Considering you banned half the userbase. None of you learned from the past I'm very glad to tell this story so all the users know the truth. SHAME ON YOU JACK AND SPAWN FORMALLY KNOWN AS PRANYGTR AND SSD220 on remove-malware.

Avast Secure Browser for Windows / Avast Password Manager gone

« Last post by Qienna on Today at 01:09:32 AM »

Today, when I tried to open the password manager tab to generate a password, I noticed it was gone.  The Security and Privacy Center no longer lets me choose between Avast and default and when I went to install the extension through Avast Premium Security, that extension didn't have a password generator.

Has something changed or have I missed something?

General Topics / Re: Would one recommend the use of this DNS app?

Why and why not?

Re: -https://1.1.1.1/  The free app that makes your internet safer (and faster).

If memory serves me well, you only have to search the forums for that IP and Cloudflare private DNS (or wording like that), causing issues with avasts ability to scan web content when this is used.

So, if my memory is correct, then far from making it safer you would be less safe.

Now that you mention it, you may very well be correct.

Viruses and worms / Re: Suspicious URL, need help.

« Last post by DavidR on Today at 12:41:36 AM »

Hello.

An indic person is bothering me on YouTube, about "The Alchemy of God".
The person says I have to search for "alchemy of God pdf"
The Link I found, that would make sense is this here and...

DON'T OPEN IT!
"xxx.bkdrluhar.com"
<snip>

If you don't want it opened (accidentally or otherwise), then don't post links to suspect sites or make it inactive as I have in the quotes text.

Please modify your post.
