Topic: How do you close avast? (Read 40039 times)
Firstly, congrats VLK for helping OP and some majority of that number above close the damn software.
Secondly, those newts complaining about turning Avast off avast, this is for you. Avast only needs to be running either when you are on-line or connecting external storage devices. Thus, there is plenty of opportunity to turn it off, and reasons why one might want to. Please do not be so ignorant. Secondly, if the process can be killed by turning that one option off in the software (see VLK post), then why the hell can Avast not just label it quit with the info button next to it saying close Avast from the task manager, or disable task manager locking, or password protect, or pin protect a quit function.
Thirdly, for Avast by having the 100% lock out, reading this post and the stupidity of not only this thread but the software I've un-installed it. I do not like the default settings (which doesn't include pup search - but does include sharing information to avast). I do not like having to do number different scans, or having numerous products thrown at me. With out smarter UI, this company will sink. The average joe is not happy having a third party (outside their household) have such control over their pc. That is, the average joe must have control to switch it off, and this function should be made clearly visible for even the most non savvy computer average joes out there. Almost like having captchas I can't blooming read but having a audio file to give the instruction. Make It Simpler Stupid instead of a MISS!
Cya! Well, now I can turn it off I will perhaps use if and when I need to. But only because I have the control. Thanks but fix the UI and ability to switch it off.
