Hi, I have used avast for many years and I love this anti-virus. Good job on a great product. I have used both versions, one for windows, and one for Linux. I am running Ubuntu 10(Linux) at the moment and there are two issues that I have:
1: the default Linux kernel is too small for avast, and when you type the registration code in then update avast has issues. When you restart avast it goes back to the register prompt again and it wont register it( fixed this with a script to make the Linux kernel bigger at start up of the OS, works like a charm now).

2:There is no real-time scanner for Linux. I understand that in Linux, many consider an anti-virus an unnecessary formality, so it really doesn't need one and that there are complications with "root". I beg to differ, and maybe a real-time scanner might be a bit much or really complicated, but a browser plug-in to scan downloads or possibly act as a real-time scanner would be excellent since Linux is still able to download a virus. Plus if this plug-in is in the list of plug-ins for a browser (example Firefox or chrome) in Linux, that is free advertising because there is none.

Sorry to post this here but I didn't know if the other thread was still being read, I hope this isn't annoying.

not a fan of the greying out of the scan options... as the updates continue for avast v5, the less i seem to like it... avast v5 seems to be all about taking control away from the user, making it idiot proof and against more advanced users, not even giving a choice for what the user wants to do with it. if updates continue like this, ill most likely be ditching avast pretty soon...

[DavidR]

Well I assume you would rather have it as it was before in avast 5, those settings weren't even displayed, so the user doesn't have a clue what is actually being done in those pre-defined scans ?

If they don't know is being scanned in these pre-defined scans then how could they know if they need to scan more areas/files and which to choose, from those that are available in the Custom scan section.

It isn't taking control away or they wouldn't give you the option of running a custom scan, you set it up for your needs, give it a name of your choice and save the scan settings. You can run that instead of the pre-defined scans, so it allows for the experienced user to do what scan they want.

It's actually giving you more control and not taking anything away.

Hi firzen771

I think the problem is that we already knew those settings from the custom scans. Seeing them now greyed out in the pre-defined scans make us wonder why they are greyed out, not realizing that they where not even there before

i culdve sworn scan sensitivity was an option the user could set before this update in full scan, or my is memory deceiving me perhaps...

[DavidR]

It is definitely deceiving you those two tabs weren't there before.
