[darkelixa]

Nice, run any better?

 

[win7holic]

didn't felt anything. still same.
wait for new version.

 

[darkelixa]

Oh as in version 7?

The pop-up provide enough information regarding what the program was doing even before they added More Details. IMO this would look better:

Edited using Design and Paint.

And what's with waiting for a new version all the time. :dodgy:

Why would you want Web Shield to be scanning all processes? :huh:

 

[darkelixa]

Why wouldnt you want it scanning everything?

 

[win7holic]

i just curious about new version (v.7), storm. that's why i wait it.
i thought pop-up for avast update don't need details. important is info about threat detected.

Why wouldnt you want it scanning everything?

Web Shield is for HTTP protection, so why would you want it to scan processes already running.

Should the File System Shield already do that.

Avast only updates a few days so i dont see how a cloud would help
