Cloud should be available in next version

I think as Antivirus which has the most users worldwide,cloud should be available in next version.It can make the scan more fast and collect the virus sample more easy. How do you think of it?

Thank you and I have another suggestion:I hope that adding a "skip" option in scanning interface
,so that if we find a file which we do not want to scan,we can skip it easily to save a lot of time.

That is very unlikely to happen, as avast have frequently stated this, as a one click option is too easily used by accident or by those who believe a file is good when it is infected.

That is why it is a deliberate act to exclude a file from scans.

I'm afraid that is an old ehow article as the new versions of avast5 & 6 don't drill down to file level only to folder level.
Note: When using the Browse button it only goes down to folder level accept that. Now open the entry in the exclusions and change the \* to \file_name.exe where file_name.exe is the file you want to exclude.

The warning is also totally lacking, excluding a folder can leave a hole in security, where ever possible you should exclude files not folders. If excluding folders then you should limit the exclude to file types within a folder, e.g. c:\folder-name\*.mp3 so should an executable end up in that media folder it isn't excluded.
