Well, I didn't mean avast! specifically - as it should be fully compatible with x64 in all mentioned points (at least I tried to make it so ;)). I...
Well, you said that Web Shield and FileSystem Shield are duplicit and therefore unnecessary - and to me it sounded like a general advice, i.e....
Why 3GB? If you said 2GB or 4GB, it might have some sense (even though it's not really "system RAM", but rather the virtual address space of every...
Same signatures - yes, but "plain" signatures are only part of the detections. More complex detections take the context into account - such as...
Actually, no, it's something different ;) This is not about the money on your account(s) and the changes thereof. It's about your credit score -...
Well, the AutoSandbox is indeed rather independent on the Behavior Shield (as the decision on whether to sandbox an application or not has to be...
I'm afraid you got it wrong. WebRep is not about malware - that's NetworkShield's and WebShield's job. WebRep is about the web "quality", if...
If you mean the "Scan archive for viruses" feature of WinRAR, you can enter the path to ashQuick.exe executable (located in avast! installation...
P2P / IM shields are kinda optimization of the scanning. While File System Shield scans only files of specific format and doesn't unpack archives...
The increase in size is about 500KB - it's not the whole Chrome included in the package, only an online Chrome installer.
The Chrome installation is fully optional (i.e. it's not a compulsory part of the installation process), and if you already have Chrome installed,...
Well, first I'd ask - how do you know? (how exactly it's counted for other products) Second, how many users really use more than one computer? Is...
Yes, you're wrong ;) The numbers are based on the statistics from update servers (though the difference to the number of registrations isn't...
That's nonsense, of course - why would you think so? Rogues are ordinary malware, PUPs something completely different (security testing / hacking...
The real exploit doesn't execute an executable, it loads a DLL - which might be pretty different (protection-wise).
I think it's wrong. The countersigning allows the signature, created before the corresponding certificate expired, to be verified even after the...
Yes, the code runs under the current user's account. This particular malware has rootkit drivers (and I don't know how it behaves if it cannot...
First you need a sample of the exploit, of course (it's not an ordinary .lnk file you create using the "Create shortcut" option in Windows...
Yes, it is. Well, didn't try on Win2k, but it works on XP, Vista, Win7.
So you're saying that the antivirus itself can be vulnerable... well, sure, but if you trust the antivirus scanner less than your browser, then...
Whether it protects you or not, that depends on the particular exploit, antivirus, etc. But it could protect you, yes. What I'm trying to say...
But it won't prevent a malicious code, injected by an exploit on a crafted webpage into your browser's memory, from running. OK, maybe it wouldn't...
Well, install doesn't fully work in safe mode... because of Microsoft :P An important part of avast! installation is the VC redistributable...
If the corresponding minidump was created (C:\Windows\Minidump), could you please upload it to ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming ?
The problem is that even if you know the "exact" numbers, you cannot draw any reasonable conclusion from them (even if you think you can). If...
Separate names with a comma.
