Is avast going the all in one suite?
« on: April 09, 2017, 07:23:28 AM »
With the latest beta you guys are including the anti theft module? Why the change? I liked it much better when I could pick and choose what to install/not to install like I can with the desktop product. I feel like you guys are going from that to just bundling everything within AMS since it has junk removal and battery saving features like the cleanup and battery saving apps and now you're including anti theft as well? I preferred the avast mobile security when it was much smaller and less bloated than it now is.

Bundling features allows us to provide the value of multiple apps with the footprint of just one. That means less storage and system resources consumed on your device, freeing it up for other activities. We also found that there's a big barrier to installing a new app, but very little in just turning on a feature. This will encourage more users to activate features like Anti-Theft, which we think are important for comprehensive security.
