mastershake Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 testing this right now (beta tester) and have been for a few days some new things but imo mostly a new interface at this point. the one thing i dont like is they keep adding more social content to this like the facebook stuff etc. i HATE that garbage and especially hate it in programs. but overall this is a great new interface and hopefully they will get the detection rates up since the last tests from 2011 were pretty aweful results imo for what avast is known for. it seems to be heavier than version 6 for me at least also..

I love the new Avast!, they're getting better and better every time! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7even Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 In fact, norton's reputation files make me crazy. It give more false positives than detecting a real virus. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ande Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I don't like this type of GUI for Antivirus,If they would make AV for me it would be controlled only through cmd.exe and it would be almost invisible !Why people give so much attention and energy to software that shouldn't even exist if Windows is as good as it should be !Ok, we must use some security softwares, decide which one, setup and configure it, make is as silent as possible and forget about it for one year ,use your machine to read ebooks,watch movies, listen songs, write, draw, paint, code, learn, study and try not to spent time on meaningless stuff,because one day you will reach certain age when you will realise that you spent alot of time in nothing and, unless you work at security industry, you will regret it! :wut: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety.Abd Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Its UI very awesome.Thanks Norton for its reputation,first kaspersky then ESET and now Avast copy that ;) .I think it was McAfee that introduced in-the-cloud detection first.
