Oh Vlk now I will have to apologise to mieko for my sour tongue, which I do - sorry mieko, my failing - and just when I was starting to get all hotted up about things and would prefer to rush back into the fray, but you are right Vlk, why ruin a good user forum for my own selfish ends.
But some good point is willingness of avast users to rush to the defense of their product.
I'm at my friend's now and try to find how to de-activate the Trendmicro default that says Fix Now 'if Trend Micro Internet Security has not yet scanned your computer for threats since you installed the software'. He been running scans for months.
I set Fix Now alert for every 30 days. He not have one threat in all that months and months time - so says that is what is his good behavior.
But I should not disparage Trendmicro, they provide good protection for my sister's business and paid for by her parent company.
@ Stran05 - how convenient two
unnamed product Community member and moderator one should popup like FakeAV to advise avast users as to what is proper behavior for forum. I think is good you have absolute no authority to action rules in avast user forum. And you are here, but do you use any avast product? Of course, like FakeAV, you do not.
@ Rumpel - me too, think Vlk is right, but is factual problem that mieko had issue making him hotted up, and well done avast for ensure they attend to problem, especially since upgrade of product range will
unavoidably give rise to many different issues that are
not always easily solved. In the interim, avast users will rush to defend avast product in their forum.
When a successful product range is further improved by the release of an even better product assortment and price, there is always going to be attacks made by persons who resent the continued success of the range, and there is sufficient evidence that this is what is happening in some threads in the user forum. There is sometimes no solving to the upside down question and answer carried out by these deliberate attempts to wreck the good name of avast, but eventually the perpetrators become undone so they end up squeeze out like bad pimple on backside, and life goes on to much content of people who use avast product range. Is very good that mieko should not be one of these malcontents. My wish is that he should be the lucky user of avast products. Oh I such a fanboy, I so embarrassed.
Edit -
my italics above - I know avast runs okay on Vista, Mele20, but runs okay on all machines - I don't Beta test but I do have 3 installs due for clients (this weekend hopefully) Vista and Win7 (trial license expired), and an XP upgrade - makes a nice arrangement for AIS package as people are related. This too is an appealing aspect of the new avast release(s) over and above good performance of antivirus.
