      As long as silent/gaming mode is enabled, it's awesome!

          Installer is 185MB... I always thought Avast was light weight?

            I've never enabled that and it works fine. I only do that on digital signage computer to stop the pop ups. Scans go much slower in gaming mode.

              That's full installer not the online installer.

                @thecreativeone91 That correct. Is the online installer better? I always get the full installers.

                  The main thing lacking from this version is AD integration which works great for new installs and updating the client program. But that's in the version that are already giving away to others. also looks like no Password protection on the AV client either.

                    If you are saving it you'll wan't the full. If it's just for one install there's no reason not to use the online.

                      Reboot is required after installation.

                        It wasn't on my windows 8.1 when I just did it. But, I know when you push it out as a slient installer you can set it to not force a reboot.

                            I am on Windows 8.1 too. It asked me to about 10 minutes after I installed it.

                              Hmm. Might hasn't but I know the sheilds don't full activate on pretty much any AV until a restart.

                                Right, I know. I wasn't complaining, just saying.

                                    Darn. Something doesn't like my system with avast. I restarted and then it locks up and BSODs.

                                      Sorry Man 😞 - I just rebooted my computer to make sure I wasn't have the same issue. So far so good.

                                            I'm a little surprised that Avast! hadn't included their mobile device AV in here as well...just a rambling thought....but, heck, free AV for servers? It's hard to argue with that.
