Remote Assistance
« on: October 17, 2013, 12:03:15 AM »
Why was the Remote Assistance feature removed from the new Avast Free 2014? I installed the new 2014 Avast and noticed it was missing. I un-installed the new 2014 and went back to the 8.0.1497 version just so I could have this feature. I use it a lot to help other people who are running Avast with the remote assistance.

Ok, Thanks I would have never looked under "Help" section to find the remote assistance. I seen the "Control computer remotely" feature, but that is entirely diff thing. Looks like it would have still been under "Maintenance". Thanks, might give it a try again:)

@ rodehrdnptupwet,

How did you manage to get the latest version 8 back?
