Hi all,

I am happy to announce new version AVAST 2016 (build number 2016.11.1.2253).
This version is focused on minor improvements and bug fixing.

What’s new:

• New firewall driver for Win8/10 - fixes issues with non working firewall

• SecureLine start is faster - new OpenVPN method

• Easier turning off email signatures

• Faster loading of passwords list

• Fixed installation of SafeZone browser

• Extensions are now Firefox 64-bit compatible

• SafeZone browser: Added security extension (phishing protection)

• SafeZone browser: Fixed Pay mode crashes

• SafeZone browser: Settings and bookmarks now synced to Pay mode (after browser restart)

• Security fixes

How to install:

1. Update from existing Avast version via Settings → Update → Update program

2. Or you can download and install from here:

HIPS will hopefully come with release 2 for DeepScreen it could be an amazing feature for protection if it would scan much more files,
have better performance and not a so big footprint on the harddrive.

Everything is OK here with ‘over the top’ installation except additional language is not preserved AGAIN.

Great job.

I’ve just looked over the statistics and the firewall stats are not showing anything - even though it says it’s running.

A repair and clean install have not fixed it.

Anyone got the same issue?

NG installed on this machine, but not sure if it’s running, or if theres something hidden in my Asus Bios to enable to get it to work

There is a bug in avast setup which unfortunately won’t install NG on Win10 (at least on Win10 10568, not sure with old 10240 build).

Ok well that answered that then, thanks PK

Have 10586.71 build here

Oh cmon, seriously? I was just about to re-install avast! because of NG and now this? sigh So, if I have Windows 10, even if I check Secure VM, it won’t get installed?

[essexboy]

I have build 14251

[system]

After internal update from Avast Free Antivirus v11.1.2245.1540 to the new version, I get a blue screen at start up. I had to restore a system restore point.

After that I updated avast again, but same problem.

@RejZoR I guess Avast is trying to resolve this issue and they might be busy picking their

at the same time solving NG for W10 as quickly as possible, and go and watch a movie
