This type of functionality serves no practical purpose and is very rude and unspeakably annoying. Let me ask you, what benefit is there in having the antivirus scanning interface automatically launch at EVERY boot up? Am I suppose to run a virus scan every single time I boot up my computer? Also what purpose is there in automatically launching my Mail application every time I boot up my computer?Д®ven if an option to disable this silly behavior is included in a future version, what value does this serve and why would this in any way shape or form be considered acceptable default behavior in an antivirus program? If this isn't the behavior on Windows, why the Mac?

However I found it very incompetent and irresponsible on the part of Alwil to expect that an antivirus program that automatically launches both the antivirus program interface and the Mail application at start up is going to be an enjoyable experience for Mac users. I'm also aware that Mac sales for this product will be very little. Yes, I read your post about disabling this but I wasn't interested in a work around to this problem.

I hope this post will give you back your confidence in Avast! MAC Product You just have to either use direct Email, this forum or the Support Center Web Page. I think, when you like a product, it is better to encourage Alwil (or other company) to continue MAC's development since WE (MAC USER) need to have the choice from different manufacturer than be limited to only one product.ДЄs an AVAST! unconditional user, and base on my experience with Alwil Avast! team, I can assure you they will provide you the BEST support and service when required. So, how much licence do you think they will sale ? Enough to cover the cost ? If they do, be sure we will be the first to win on this. So, lot of $$$$ spend and no gain until now.ДЄs specify in another post, regarding Alwil Avast! for MAC development, there is (until now) less than 25 virus real treat for MAC. Even the graphic interface have been done by another company (OCSoftware). Think about the time Alwil (Avast!) team need to put on a product that will never be a very important return of investment. And if I'm not mistaking, it's still free (downloaded from the product web page : ). Of course this new product will require improvement but until now I think it's a very good start.

I think you did not look at my last post ? I expland how to disable the launch of Apple Mail until a new release of Avast! for MAC (with a permanent solution). WOW! internetworld7, we can feel your disappointment in your post.

I was so ready to purchase this but now all I can do is uninstall it and wait for the next release that corrects this.

Why wasn't this the case for the Mac edition

I run avast! on Windows XP and Vista and it runs silently with NO annoying pop ups or launches. I'm very disappointed in the judgement of Alwil to release a product that behaves like this. Guys, I know and can appreciate that this is a new product and that it is not perfect but wouldn't come sense dictate even to a jackass that this is going to be EXTREMELY annoying at EACH and EVERY system boot up? And yes I'm shouting and I should be.Дo the people at Alwil honestly believe that having this pop up of the UI and launching my Mail application at system boot up each and every time is what the average Mac user wants to see? Why would the people at Alwil be so obtuse as to not include a simple option to disable this

Avast! for the Mac is very nice and light on system resources but WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW PISSED AND ANNOYED I AM AT THIS CONSTANT POP UP OF AVAST! UI AND LAUNCHING THE MAIL APPLICATION ON MAC OS X LEOPARD.
