I saw a notice on the Avast sys. tray that there was a program update.
Since it’s not posted on the forum, you can update from within the User Interface or
get the downloads from here: https://goo.gl/4Ptzkf
You could try an Avast Repair. This used to resolve what I call and out of sync condition. e.g. where what is reported differs from the physical state.
Mine as well. We were told at launch of 19.4, it was being set geographically to avoid burnout but even after a month down the line and a version upgrade i.e. 19.5, smart scan UI remains old.
And yes, I have rebooted more than 4 times just in case anyone asks.
After updating to 19.5 through the UI I had to reboot twice. The smart scan was not working correctly (it did not increment the percentage and stopped after a while). I tried to stop the scan but that did not work. I closed the UI and started the UI again from the systray and it stated that the scan was completed. I then ran smart scan again and the same happened.
I then did a repair from control panel and all seems to be okay now. Will try a smart scan again later to ensure all is well.
Update works without problems.I do not needed to restart 2 times with last time.
lack of space in the text in smart scanning (virus scan) in other languages.
Even I have pointed out few posts above that my interface is old as well. Using Avast free antivirus 19.5 latest. Do not know if this is still going to be geographical based switch to new UI.
It appears not all v 19.5 have the new UI (no Circle)
Both my installations, stable and beta 19.5 are not the same UI.
Stable version 19.5 has the old Circle scanning in my installation while the beta version 19.5 does not.
