How to login into avast account in the new version?
« on: February 12, 2017, 08:26:25 AM »
The new UI of Avast Free Antivirus 17.1.2286 seems great. However I can't seem to find the avast account login info that was present in the older versions. Any idea?

Thanks fellas. The links you provided have helped.  :)

Beats me why avast buried the login screen so deep.

You're welcome.

I don't believe that was their intention to bury it, just that someone managed to stumble upon this and others then documented it in the forums and Bob made the video.

As far as I'm aware it was removed from its original (easier to find) location on purpose (possibly for redesign) and I guess should be back in the not to distant future. But don't quote me, it is a guess ;)

In the meantime, the avast account login info was the last place (except beta) where we could find the statistics including the last 5 files analyzed by avast

The summary statistics displayed by my.avast.com are not as complete
