AVAST 2015 R3 RC (2015.10.3.2222)

system · 2015-07-05T15:29:09.000Z

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

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 ???

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.

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.

Try to help a little bit.

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

How can you report and expect to solve problems ??? Thought that’s what Beta Testing is all about ???

system · 2015-07-08T18:59:45.000Z

Bob, I do not need you to tell me what Beta Testing is all about, I have been doing it for years with Windows OS’s. FYI to anyone that cares, I removed AIS , used AvastClear in Safe mode which by the way does NOT remove everything. I then re installed clean this latest Beta, I will not call it an RC as it is not ready for prime time. My issue with “The Clear Feature” is now gone. IMHO Avast is turning into a bloated program which reminds me of the old Norton Programs. I can also do without the Chrome adverts. Have a nice day!

RC (Release Candidate) as you are probably aware is still a beta build, until it becomes a final release it is still a beta. Which is presumably why it has 2015 BETA in the UI.

I think it was you who stated that you don’t have AIS installed despite reporting problems ???
Not a problem, I’m sure it will get solved through the efforts of other beta testers and Avast.
You also have a nice day.

I resolved it I guess you do not have a great understanding of The English Language Bob. An RC is a Release Candidate unlike an Alpha or Beta it’s next step is The Final Release. If people want to refer to an RC as a Beta then that is up to them. In the scheme of things one a Beta reaches the RC level it is referred to as such.
