LPHANT, probably the best P2P program missing in the protection list

I have to say I feel we may have some Lphant people here pushing their product ! Why all the fuss ?

No my dear, just a satisfied user.

Totally agree Abraxas,
During the years I've been on this forum, whenever a new users first post on this forum pertains to something
other than avast!, their motive always seems to be the same:
"A post by a fan-boy / girl pushing their favorite non avast related program."

Firstly, I have been a happy user of Avast for several years and I use to install it on my clients’ PCs.
 
I just wanted to make it clear that Lphant is not a bad program, and that there is no reason not to include protection for it. In fact there is a second error; Avast identifies Lphant as a mail / messaging program, depending on what operation is doing Lphant.

I came here looking for an answer to the problem for all the people that use Lphant and Avast.

I am here not to promote anything.

Does Lphant not offer a means of having your AV scan the completed download ?

If it does this is the path to the file that does the scan (assuming avast is installed in the default location), C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe.

It does not. Avast will Scan the files when the downloads folder is open so it is not a very great problem. I just miss the time when avast stopped the files from being downloaded, when I used to work with Emule . Thanks anyway DavidR

You're welcome, perhaps you should suggest this as an option for lphant to have files scanned by your AV as this is a feature in many other P2P applications.
