[lancelotinlake]

i prefer the Software Manager

[ManFromOz]

Software Status?

 

[bob3160]

Why not simply "Updates Required"
Since anything listed in here would require an update.

[Banankage]

I think "Software Update Check" or "Software Update Scan" is best

[DavidR]

I guess no one reads all of the posts in the topic before posting. The name/title has to be short, that is why only two word suggesting were put in the poll. Not to mention some at avast software believe that even that is too long and there are problems in interpreting the name/title into the other languages avast has.

Update, Avast 8 or Avast Update.

[Staticguy]

I am guessing Avast! 8 will be released either next month or on March of this year?

Hi Midnight,

The poll is not to name the new version but what to call the new feature

Bluntly putting it.

Nobody is discussing the obvious point. This is not a measure of security at all. It nags you to update programs that already nag you to update on their own. Plus another point, I don't want to have my AV nagging me at all about other programs that have nothing to do with it.

Ask us whether or not we even want it first, instead of asking about a silly name for something we all will turn off anyway.

I foresee most users turning this off as it will be very annoying. Most people not knowing what it is will also turn it off because nag programs are ALWAYS turned off by people that don't know what they are.

Just think about it Avast Team. How often do you hear about inept users clicking YES to every popup even though they have no clue what it is? You people should know any type of nag will get the same result from the people you want to help. But it won't help. This behavior is well known in the security realm and is odd to add this in at all.

A good piece of software does not expect the user to work with it. A good piece of software works with the lowest link in the chain.

It is a matter of security as unpatched software leaves a system vulnerable.

You keep using we and us. Who are you speaking for?

No one is required to use it or install it. Users can make their own decision.

Just how nagging is it? I have yet to see a nagging popup.

Unpatched software made #2 on this list. -> http://www.infoworld.com/d/security/the-5-cyber-attacks-youre-most-likely-face-208361?page=0,0

Wrong. A lot (most) of the infections nowadays come from vulnerabilities and exploits on unpatched software.

Seems you're the owner here... (joking)

Avast AniVirus, Avast Internet Security, .....why do you want check and update ANY my installed programs? Protect...YES, Repair...YES. I do not use my car to do painting job, or my refrigerator to watch TV! Why in the WORLD I should use AVAST for doing updates for ANY of my installed programs? Instead of that, try to gain your top position in reviews...you are going down.

[kodl]

Another thing:..."A lot (most) of the infections nowadays come from vulnerabilities and exploits on unpatched software."....and AVAST software should PROTECT "unpatched software" and REPAIR, when fails to PROTECT this software, not to modify any of my installed program. Common sense FIRST.
