If you want to know about it as much as possible, all post, blogs etc are important to read.

Well, there are the blogs from avast
Searching fpr "blogs" shows 30 threads - which of them are important for this problems?
Here's a good starting point:

Thx - nice to know ;-)

But my suggestion was one specific source for important changes in Avast's behaviour ...  :)

And - the search for "blogs" delivers 30 theads, as mentioned. None of them with "Nitro" in the title... ??

I don't know why you would be searching on 'blogs,' when going to the avast blog and searching there (site specific google search) is likely to reveal more specific Nitro avast blog/s

I don't know why you would be searching on 'blogs,
I asked for information about new functions and Eddy wrote in #8 "Well, there are the blogs from avast" .. and in #16 "If you want to know about it as much as possible, all post, blogs etc are important to read."
So I searched for "blogs" - not with Guckl but with the search function of Avast (button upper right part of the window).

If there is a more direct way  - let me hear.

If you used the button I highlighted in my first image (from blogs.avast.com) then you should have got the same results that I did. The very top one being the most relevant (for me certainly) as the others appeared to be different language versions of the same article.
