NEW Avast version 24.5

[Nunzio77]

That useless and annoying notification on Windows 10 notification center about I am protected, which shows after each boot can be disabled only in Win 10 notification setting or can be disabled somewhere in Avast application?
BTW I have set "Limited mode" in Avast Notification settings.

Please remove this useless notification... It serves no purpose and annoys Avast users.

Lukas, can you answer my question I had? You have ignored it twice now.

Why is :

Web Shield – Web Shield can now performs a deep packet inspection also for uncommon or suspicious applications.

unchecked by default ?

This new "feature" of Webshield needs some explaination. Maybe a Avast Blog? or at least a reply here as to its function and why it is not enabled by default. Users do not know why or whether they should manually enable it or the effect it has.

I get the impression that this is an example of Avast rushing out a monthly version before they know what will be in it and without the neccessary explainations of those items that are in it. This does not inspire confidence in configuration control or quality.

I believe the settings Dinobot2 said is a quite old one, from the era that Web Shield start scanning all HTTP(s) applications than only major browsers...

Correction, it's not the one I imagined.

I like the sound of deep packet inspection for uncommon or suspicious applications.  I guess that this blocks considerable vulnerabilities. Am I correct?

Your guess is as good as ours until someone from Avast lets us know.
