PLEASE change the update sound
« on: March 08, 2012, 12:19:29 AM »
i don't know about anyone else but everytime i hear that update sound i think for a split second OH NO VIRUS then i notice oh it's not 2 sounds

always when it makes the update sound i think it's a virus as the virus detected sound is identical to the update sound

just the update sound makes it sound once when virus sound twice so you cannot tell if it's a virus of update the first split second which always scares me

First of all, you should not be scared of the virus warning.   Its a good thing.  (well, as long as its not a FP)  It means Avast! did its job.  It is rarely sign of some epic system-wide infection, unless it keeps happening many times.

But it is the same sound, played 1 vs. 3 times, I see what you mean, I guess thats not...."optimal".

But as long as they don't bring the old Avast! air-raid siren back again, I'm happy the way it is, jmo.

All I ever hear is the pleasant voice telling me that the virus database has been updated. The few times it detected something it was a completely different announcement.

I use the male North American voice for the update wave.

It is music to my ears.

Problem is that every time avast! sneaks in a program update, I have to go and put the North American wave back in. I'm sure that it's unavoidable.

Mine is the female voice. I guess that's the default.
