Official Release of avast! Mobile Security

[schaeferabc]

I think its ok like it is

[boe323]

Avast mobile is saying I don't have root access, how do I get avast to recognize I have root access?, do I have to install it as system apps?.

[Filip Havlicek]

Hi,

if you are talking about Mobile Security then no, it should pick up your root access automatically. Anti-Theft must be installed as rooted though (advanced mode during Anti-Theft installation).

If possible, in the future can you guys implement a virtual browser?

Hi,

That's great but I think you should get the basics right first as avast backup is not working on my phone. Left a new thread in the relevant part of the forum for it to be overlooked. So sent a support request and no real help was and is forthcoming. I would be ok with that approach if I was not paying for your product to be ignored. If support can't/won't help then just say so don't leave me in limbo! *Rant over*

Hi,

I have pretty much nothing to do with avast! Backup (responsibility-wise) so you will have to rant elsewhere to get help/support I'm a mod there only to be able to move topic back and forth, you should seek help from Reinhard Holzner or Werner Mayr, they deal with Backup.

Hi everyone,

a few minutes ago a new version of AMS 3.0.6526 was released, changelog is following:

+ Ability to add apps to malware ignore list
+ App Locking password can now be always changed using avast! PIN
+ Fixed SMS Filter sometimes incorrectly blocking messages from textual senders
+ Fixed system Settings app being accessible even while locked by tapping quickly on notification shortcut icon

I think that the ignore list (or whitelist if you want to call it that way) was requested a lot even here on the forum so I hope you like it and it works for you The SMS Filter bug was reported here on the forum so I hope that's fixed as well to your liking We found the App Locking bug somewhere on YouTube I think (it apparently was that interesting to someone) so I hopefully took care of that by myself

Thanks Filip. (Note: It's 3.0.6526. )

[Filip Havlicek]

Ah yeah, sorry, will edit the above post Before I had 3.2.6526, dunno how I messed up my correction like that

The rant was not meant for you as you are the most helpful person on this sub forum hands down. I have tried ranting via email support even requesting my money back and even then nothing! *Sigh* P.S. Have a look in the backup forum and see how many people have problems with no help from mods.

Yeah, I know. I regularly look there and I'd like to help, but I didn't make the app so my knowledge of the topic (and especially bugs and stuff) is very limited.

Don't worry Filip I know, Just a quick bit of praise. I/we appreciate the great work you do on here. Thanks for all the great work you do and long may it continue!

Hi guys (and gals),

just a quick notice, I released a small update to version 3.0.6572 fixing App Locking on 2.x devices (it sometimes crashed while trying to lock an app). That's all, nothing else new.
