Program ratings
« on: October 12, 2013, 05:40:04 PM »
Hello guys
Sometimes Avast tells me that some software might be dangerous because its rating is low.
Where can I view that rating or where can I rate programs.

Thanks

I mean where is the Avast rating?

The program is open-source and I can say that it is 100% safe game client.

That is the so-called cloud-based file detection.
Whenever the file has been on your machine for a long time and never been flagged,
you can just take it for what it is - a low rating alert.
Re-scan at VirusTotals and then feel secure,
