Edit: Bhakakhan, if your are still with us, please do the same, turn of Network Shield for a while. The crashes will stop. Thanks and sorry. It was really a fault in our driver, I fully understand your are not happy! It got several people here awake for several days until the solution was found, we've released an update, fixing some of the problems, the rest took as a few days more. Not happy here either, so sorry again.
Thanks for your efforts lukor - what you wrote is exactly what i wanted to hear - it is what is needed to keep the trust in your company - or regain it -if you whish-....
Posts from "überevangelist" or "ultraposter" is not what a totally frustrated user wants to read after days of knocked out system - it leads to disencouragement and trust-loss - it is all else, but not customer friendly
I work for a famous ISP (one and one) - i the case of such extreme bugs, we use a BugTracker in which we track all affected users with email-adress - we keep'em up to date - we try to give'em a feeling, that they are not alone - that we care about them - also: this List is useful to get an idea of how much users are affected, which is good information for our tech-teams - looking around here i don't see, that you really try to terminate that bug in an offense way - to me it seems that you cook your soup in the backroom, letting power users eat people like me for breakfast.
My feeling is, that it is important to stay in close touch with customers - until your post i haven't got even a trace of this feeling - which is a good reason to go to another security software - which is -honestly spoken- not really what i wanted to do...
Next:
May i say, that it is time to change the description of avast 7 (
hello puturaya20, i'm with you..
) - don't you think it is time to go offensive and tell everybody, that there are still problems to be expected with Win8, Win7, Google Chrome etc..? Other companies do this, and its not for their disadvantage...
Just think about, what happens, if the press is publishing this bug here all around - or if frustrated customers are reporting this to microsoft. Such a thing is very destructive to the reputation of a company like yours - so why not telling the truth, before the press is doing it?
Last thing:
No sorry to -you know who i mean-
