AVAST 2015 R3 RC (2015.10.3.2222)

bruceb · 2015-07-04T10:42:32.000Z

Build 2221 did the same thing here, “avast background service not running” on the first restart. Restarted a 2nd time and all was well.

FYI for all: Malwarebytes has released a new version: 2.1.8.1057 … it should auto update from within the program, as mine did today.

Does anyone else have problem accessing Wikipedia with 10.3.2222? I’m getting unusually long load times (>1 min) and sometimes it just sits there with blank page loading indefinitely. This is with Firefox. Disabling Web Shield completely fixes all the problems.

YLAP · 2015-07-05T10:13:49.000Z

Have you tried other browsers? Here with IE 11 and Chrome 43 Wikipedia loads without any problems. So it may be even smaller, browser related bug or something. PS. Is it the latest Firefox?

system · 2015-07-05T12:35:12.000Z

So after some more testing it’s https scanning. Other browsers do work, so it’s probably because Firefox dropped support for old/broken https algorithms/protocols like RC4, SSL3 etc in latest version and is much stricter. So it’s probably a variant of this problem.

Haven’t noticed any slowdowns using FF 40.0

Hey, I am the only here who’s shortcut icon to the SafeZone on desktop is low res and pixelated? Every time program updates itself or I do a repair - I’ve got this icon back

Same here but don’t know about pixelated ???

Why is this build, an RC worse than the prior build? I cannot run a smart scan without a warning that my PC’s performance needs fixed. I do not have “The Cleaner” installed . The prior build did not have this issue

Seems you are using a smaller icons on dektop, so it looks OK. So it is icon’s resolution question.

I just did a clean install of the new RC version and ran into a problem. Thunderbird could not download my GMail emails. It had no problem with downloading Yahoo emails. It could even send emails via GMail but could not receive them. Thunderbird would try to connect to the server and would time out. So completely uninstalled the program (no Avast on the system) and the problem remained. After restoring my system from a previous backup, all is well. It appears that something was modified during the installation.

If this is an RC then it should be very close to the final release and NOT have bugs that the prior builds did not have. I have no use for the cleaner, I do not want the cleaner but every time I run a Smart Scan this is what I get:

I do not even have The Cleaner installed. I understand tha this haneffect on the smart scan ( Hope) but this should have been fixed by now.

@GTX66

Your screenshot shows no bug to me. I hope you still know, that this RC is a BETA. And within it there is ‘Cleanup’.
Why didn’t you go ahead to ‘Resolve all’? At the end of the ‘BETA’, ‘Cleanup’ will be out of ‘SmartScan’! So you need a licence then and have to pay for it.

Is English your primary Language? If you read my post , I do not have The Cleaner Installed!

If this is not a Bug then tell me what it is? As posted the prior release which was NOT a RC did not have this.

There are some primary languages since I went to school.
I did and your screenshot shows, that you have ‘Cleanup’ installed (automatically, for you did no ‘user defined’ installation where you could untick ‘Cleanup’!).
‘10.3.’ is a brand new devellopment (‘In memory of Jan Koubek’) and much better than ‘10.2.’!

If you need further informations, please ask the Devs.

No it is NOT installed see the image below:

If you see a check mark then you also need your vision tested.

Let’s stay civil.

MartinZ · 2015-07-07T15:09:55.000Z

Hi GTX66,

I tried it on my machine and wasn’t able to reproduce. Can you please try to switch off the Cleanup in Settings->Tools?

Martin, check my post https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=172345.msg1230189#msg1230189, whilst I can’t reproduce the error of gtx66 - I do have an anomaly.

Where the image attached in my post link above shows (from running a Smart Scan) that my PC performance has been optimized, now presumably that would mean that cleanup has run (?) yet there is no cleanup entry in the avastUI > Settings > Tools.

system · 2015-07-07T20:20:09.000Z

Try to help a little bit.

I reported this about nine months ago and they have never fixed it in the stable release either.
