AVAST 7 kills former shield action expert settings

[Anacunga]

Updated to v7 - and checked every shield setting concerning the actions to take in case of any threat ...

But WTF!!! ALMOST ALL SHIELDS ARE RESET TO DEFAULT - and the time consuming and nerving thing is that you mandatorily need to set EVERY SHIELD SEPARATELY - and that even three times manually, so as a whole you lose tooooo much time - just for an update!!!

Where is the possibility to set all at once??? My defaults are different than the standard defaults ("delete" IS NOT ALLOWED HERE!!! NOT AT ALL!!!) - AND I DON'T WANT TO LOSE SO MUCH TIME TO NEED TO UPDATE ALL SEPARATELY. It takes up to 10 minutes for every single machine - and so just making the update from 6 to 7 takes full manpower for several days for all the machines here - just to keep the settings from before!!!

THAT'S CRAZY AND NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

Btw: that's what all is needed to do and change (settings just as an example when default settings (delete (wtf!)) is not acceptable):

No idea why, it hasn't happened when I have updated during the Betas, all my settings were fine.

The good news is avast now has a backup and restore settings system so that you can run a fresh install/upgrqade at any time and just drop the old settings in place. Look in "Settings" > Maintenance  where you will see the tools.

Take a backup now and you can reset to your choices anytime.
