Updated through the GUI and everything is fine except NG or whatever it is called now was installed,
although I didn’t have it installed before. This happens when I don’t follow my rule to manually update things.
You can remove it in the normal way - control panel - programs & features - avast - Change. The new name for NG is ‘Secure Virtual Machines’ somewhat different to NG.
Already did that. I agree that new name - Secure Virtual Machines is somewhat different to NG,but I didn’t know how to translate it from Croatian.So,now I know - Secure Virtual Machines.
Installed through UI and rebooted. Everything seems fine, but when running Smart Scan Windows alert me of Avast UI error and must close it but it does not. It keeps scanning.
Aplication with errores: avastui.exe, version: 10.2.2215.880, module with error: libcef.dll, version 3.2171.1929.0, address with error 0x01cf3006.
Will wait for another reboot or repair. If error still shows. I will try a clean install.
Update: It seems that a repair got rid of the UI error.
I have updated successfully to this new version via Avast GUI, but this bug still exits https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=167408.0. Couple of weeks ago when I had the previous version of avast, I have sent a support package to Avast via the avastsupport.exe
File ID: SDFUN
Last time I heard that it’s in the QA Department.
Any updates on this? When will this bug get fixed?
Glad that I am not the only person facing this bug. On the security tab it has a tick on mail shield. I don’t even have mail shield installed. Only web and file shield, software updater, and home network security.
Clean install of 10.2.2215 AIS. Uninstalled old version 10.0.2208 using Programs and Features and aswclear.exe. Full offline installer run.
Https bug when running sandboxes now is fixed.
Installed Avast Online Security. Still impacts browser open and close negatively (hang), otherwise much improved.
Other noticed behavior listed below in attachments:
Third attachment likely has nothing to do with avast; Flash Player plug-in for Firefox remains running after FF is closed or suddenly appears after FF is closed and hangs until manually closed in Task Manager if FF is run unsandboxed. But these (2) Flash Player processes cause Avast Sandbox to hang either way for at least 20 seconds or more until the sandbox is able to terminate FP plugin processes. Same exact behavior seen in Sandboxie.
5 Flash Player plugins running in Task Manager window below likely is the result of opening and closing FF three times in normal unsandboxed mode and none of the earlier processes were terminated prior even tho FF appeared to close normally each time.
Possible conflict/hang with Malware Anti-Exploit noted in running Avast Sandbox and Firefox. May be the root cause of the black window seen in attachment # 1.
Much better version than 10.2.2214 just previous. Https works in sandboxed mode. Good job.
