Hide devices associated with my account!
« on: February 21, 2015, 06:17:47 PM »
Hello.

I have an Internet PC Kiosk. and i have multiple devices connected to my account, and in the avast app if we go to account which i cannot block in the pc people can see all my connected devices to my account. Is there any way i can hide the devices in the avast application so the won't apear in there?

People can not see your devices unless they are able to login to your account.
If they can, you have things not setup correctly.
Besides, on those client machines you should give people a limited account, set restrictions and hide things you don't want them to see.

i have avast installed and with my account connected there so i can manage from home. but being avast working on there, if one person opens avast from the tray, it will open avast window, and in the account action they can see all my devices connected to that account.

You can log-out from interface.
Device will still remain connected.

As I said, you have the things setup wrong. If you want to run a "cyber kiosk" learn how to do it properly.

During 2015 we will change simple pairing in my.avast.com to a more complex system of entitlements that would better fit a family type device administrator. For your current use, I would recommend the http://business.avast.com, that could fit your needs probably better.

One can only do what the software you have can do without becoming to be a hustle to the system and system error become appearing. that's why i asked if something inside the application could be done.

You are running a business, so use business software.
Yes, you will have to pay (a lot) for it, but that is how it works.
Business software will give you a lot more options.
