Hello Puturaya20

In this post I read that that's going to be 2 versions of avast. Free and premier. Are these features that you mentioned is it going to be in the free or premier version? For personal preference, if these features going to be on both versions i want only the update rollback feature to be in the free version, because i use my laptop for personal use and hardly don't use it for online banking!

No one said how many versions avast will release.
My guess is three...Free, Pro and AIS.  :)

Hi all,

We are seeking a name for a new feature in the upcoming avast! 8. Here is a short explanation: The feature shows you an overview of all your important software and recommends/installs updates if they are available. Please vote and chose which name you like the most. We highly appreciate your feedback!

Just one question.

Who is WE?

What about....

App Watcher or App Scout.

Is it not what it does ? it observes or spots outdated apps.

I know the names are not in the poll but since Igor said.

As for the name, even "Software Health" is rather long - it's the longest text in the left menu. So if it should be changed, it should be turned into something shorter for sure, not longer.

I thought on something shorter.

App Watcher/App Scott sounds too amateur and it doesn't fit well. Software Health sounds so good.

Add anti-theft.Without anti-theft you cannot recover your PC or laptop if is stolled.

Add x64 version to work even better with Windows 7 x64 & Windows 8 x64.

The feature should be disablable if you decided to implement it. Personally, it is not needed as part of an Antivirus program and there are programs out there that do this already (for free). Most apps will let you know if an update is out. It is up to the user to decide if he wants it or not. Some programs, like Winzip, you need a new key for each major version number.

You can disable this option, but it appears to only be net accessing programmes that are checked.. Browsers, PDF, Flash etc

That's good, but most of what you mentioned does their own checks for newer versions themselves. Like Firefox / Opera / Java / Flash / Adobe Reader (can't stand the V10 interface and it is getting way to bloated for a simple program)
