Official Release of avast! Mobile Security

[Filip Havlicek]

Hi,

first of all, our custom notification layout follows the Android guidelines and is aligned properly on our devices. If some custom ROM has different layout, it's not really our fault. Second, instead of sleeping last night, I figured out how to fix the layout on ICS+ devices so if you are using some of those, you should be fine. It can't be done on pre-ICS devices cause the notifications there are different.

So RejZoR, you owe me a few hours of sleep. The modified notifications should hopefully be included in the next version. If you are using a pre-ICS ROM then you are out of luck.

It does not effect me but great work Filip.

I'm not using a custom ROM, i'm using stock Samsung ROM for Galaxy S2 (updated through integrated updater). It was misaligned on 4.0.4 and also on current 4.1.2. We'll see how it goes now.

there is an update today. What's it? what's new?

[DavidR]

I don't believe there is as it looks like someone posting on an old topic making it appear there is a new update.

Google Play Store says it was updated April 8th. I have version 2.0.4304.

Nope, there is no update (afaik). Maybe Google fixed issues with Google Play they have been having for about a week now.

I have had that version for a while now.

The avast! Mobile Security is the best antivirus for mobile phones! I rated it 5 stars on Google Play!!!

Hi everyone,

you should see version 2.0.4400 available on Google Play soon. This time I have a more thorough list of changes for you folks here on the forum Here it goes:

- Initial Privacy Advisor scan should no longer repeat itself after going into the feature from dashboard
- Added "App security timeout" to AMS Settings (time after you have to insert PIN again to get into AMS after leaving)
- Completely changed layout of notifications on ICS+ devices (that's 4.0+ for those who are not familiar with the abbreviations)
- File Shield's "scan files when reading" should be turned off by default
- Uninstall Protection should now properly reset itself after the screen has been turned off
- Some other bugfixes (usually crashes resulting in AMS restart)

Hope you like it, especially the new notification layout!

Any word as to when you will be adding Web Shield protection for Firefox?

[Filip Havlicek]

Hi,

it's not planned at the moment, sorry. There is no official API for Firefox as far as I know so I'm not saying it's not possible, but it sure is not something I could do during a lunch break.
