I Would Like To See This Added To Future Versions of avast!

Eugene Kaspersky talks "white listing technology"    About 2.5 minute video.

A very nice feature for anti-malware software.   Builds in another layer of protection.

Maybe we first need to improve the stability of the already existing functionality and prevent the release of versions with bugs?
May the FOSS be with you!

Well I think George Yves has a point here.
What we need is a phase of making the avast solution more stable, ironing out the various feature bugs and issues,
that could create conflicts on various platform software and in user agents.
While the makers of avast have so many irons out in the fire,
their software is being tested and tested and then you will get these bugs and hick-ups.
It is inavoidable,

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Doesn't avast already have something very similar to this called File Reputation System?

Exactly.  :) And I hope that 'phase' is about to come (with Version 8  ::)) once the Avast team has caught up to the new kid on the block (Window8)
Who knows for sure. :)

I wish I receive a notebook just to play with avast! until it crashes ;D
Unfortunatelly, I have just one notebook and it's a working one...
