And avast doesn't care.. about this forum stupidity either, like they don't care about possible bug in their File System Shield. Avast doesn't really seem to care about anything anymore.. other than monetizing everything and bloating their product. Different AV tests show that avast is 2nd-class AV nowadays. Time to move on?
Pure unfounded speculation on your part ::)

What speculation? Tell me.

- Avast doesn't care about this forum stupidity, I haven't seen a fix yet, nor anybody from avast team participating in this topic.

- The File System Shield bug I reported here hasn't raised any voice from avast yet.

- The product has become a bloated like hell.. grimefighter, etc., money seems to be the top priority nowadays.

- Different AV tests really show that avast detection/security quality has been slumped for some time already.

Speculation? Yep. You can dream on, I know it's hard to face the reality with your precious software.

Anyways, the forum software is really stupid and creates havoc among the users. Avast should take an interest.

Concerning the forum bugs avast already knows about it.

Your reckoning of a bug in the file shield has no place in this topic.

Bloat! use custom install to get only the components you want, just because you don't want certain parts doesn't mean someone else doesn't.

AV tests vary slightly all the time and the minimal percentage drop is fairly insignificant imo unless you are going out of your way to visit the worst sites around... when were you last infected using avast ?

"your precious software" it's not my software ;D

You seem to have knowledge that others don't. Source?

You cherry-picked some things from a post and started your ridiculous attack. The things I mentioned were just supposed to back up my claim that avast doesn't seem to care. But you didn't understand that and started an off-topic attack.. which brings me back to: can you tell me what was "unfounded speculation" on my part? EDIT: Scratch that, let's stop this off-topic issue.

And the "minimal percentage drop" what you claim, is obviously looked through avast-orange colored glasses. ;)

Anyways, take care, and let's hope that avast is really listening like you said. This forum "feature" is really horrible because people could lose written text while posting their messages here.

You keep going on about off topic in most of your recent posts yet 99% of your posts themselves are off topic and darting around to numerous threads to state your opinions on the matter is bordering trolling yourself ::)

I also cherry picked nothing... I simply replied to your unfounded accusations/comments on which you clearly know nothing about.

Now concerning forum bugs these have been discussed in an area that is off limits to you so that is all that can be said on that matter.

Talk about unfounded speculation. I see that you're the master. It's rather sad to see a veteran forum member spewing this kind of s%it. So now stating an opinion on the matter (on-topic!) is trolling?! Oh dear.

I also cherry picked nothing... I simply replied to your unfounded accusations/comments on which you clearly know nothing about.
That's a poor argument heard so many times, you know nothing and I do know everything. Really? Your credibility is thrown out.

Now concerning forum bugs these have been discussed in an area that is off limits to you so that is all that can be said on that matter.
Now this is actually interesting, and on-topic. Thank you for bringing this information forward. Yet, it feels odd that nobody from avast team have not bothered to comment on this topic.. but in hidden from most of the forum members.


EDIT: It's rather sad that a big war has to start before any info about the actual subject comes to light of day.

If you've heard it so many time's then the reasoning behind that is because it is probably true yet the inflated ego cant accept it :)

I have nothing further to add so I'm out :-X

Let's hope avast brings out the forum fix quickly.

Hello,

I would personally like to see this resolved soon. It is somewhat annoying to open threads twice to view them, etc.

Greets,

Hopefully it's fixed once the forum software gets updated.

Yes, and that seems to be taking time to get things worked out.  :-\
