WOW! internetworld7, we can feel your disappointment in your post. I think you did not look at my last post ? I expland how to disable the launch of Apple Mail until a new release of Avast! for MAC (with a permanent solution).
Of course this new product will require improvement but until now I think it's a very good start. And if I'm not mistaking, it's still free (downloaded from the product web page :
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-mac-edition.html).
Think about the time Alwil (Avast!) team need to put on a product that will never be a very important return of investment. Even the graphic interface have been done by another company (OCSoftware). So, lot of $$$$ spend and no gain until now.
As specify in another post, regarding Alwil Avast! for MAC development, there is (until now) less than 25 virus real treat for MAC. So, how much licence do you think they will sale ? Enough to cover the cost ? If they do, be sure we will be the first to win on this.
I think, when you like a product, it is better to encourage Alwil (or other company) to continue MAC's development since WE (MAC USER) need to have the choice from different manufacturer than be limited to only one product.
As an AVAST! unconditional user, and base on my experience with Alwil Avast! team, I can assure you they will provide you the BEST support and service when required. You just have to either use direct Email, this forum or the Support Center Web Page :

I hope this post will give you back your confidence in Avast! MAC Product
