Mysterious other email address
« on: April 06, 2015, 03:19:34 PM »
I hardly ever look at my Avast, but when I looked at it this morning wondering about another issue, the main screen (overview), showed something odd. At the top of the green box which says I am protected, there are two identities. One is mine, the email address I used to sign up for Avast, and the other is one not known to me, a "karma1760." What is this? Have I been hacked?

No you haven't been hacked - but you do appear to have an old version of avast installed (latest avast version 2015.10.2.2215) ?

The Karma related to points gained on your avast installation. This is now simply called Points with the number of points gained before that.

Clicking on the Email or Points (Karma) links takes you to your my.avast.com account.
