Some web pages do not display properly with Web Rep plug-in activated in IE9. With the Web Rep disabled, the pages display properly.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP-1 fully patched. IE9.

Hello,
can you give me some examples of that pages? Is it 32bit IE9 ?

Thanks,
Ivan.

Hi Ivan, iv not had any issues with pages displaying wrongly but i did notice that webrep seriously slows down browsing, i’d actually thought it was just the usual slowness of the avast forum but when i tried it with webrep disabled everything was fast again.
I played around a bit with closing the browser, uninstalling webrep and rebooting then browsing again and all good but as soon as webrep is reinstalled and activated it’s back to very sluggish performance again followed by myself disabling it again and browser is back to normal fast speed again.

I hope this can be improved on in future build’s

Hi,
browsing performance should befixed in next build…

Thanks Ivan

Why doesn’t WebRep look the same as new avast! 7 interface? It looks the same as avast! 6 interface…

webrep icon is ugly, too! Why not place on the addressbar, for example
It’s stupid that there is only one icon on the bar, and nothing else. Please think again and place icon somewhere else, so it does not leave so much unused empty space on the right side!

Your obviously refering to webrep in IE, This has been discussed many times before and it’s windows restrictions as to why it has to be like that.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already.

Avast Internet Security Suite 7.0.1396
Windows 7 64 Bit

Sandboxie will not work with Avast 7 installed. Browsers open then crash.

I saw another report of this at Wilders.

Only sandboxed or any browsing? Were there known issues with Web Shield that were addressed in future betas?

Sandboxie 3.64 is working well here in Firefox, IE and Google Chrome, there was a problem when it was released but it was corrected, I downloaded Sandboxie 3.64 form the Sandboxie official page…rm

Hi, I have avast 6.0.1637 on my computer. The program doesn’t show me the red notice " Update program" and if I try to update the program version manually avast says that is already updated. It says that the last program version in 6.0.1367. Why doesn’t avast update to version 7?

That is because this is a Beta version. You cannot update from the Public release to the beta version via the in-program updater.

You have to Opt - in which is done via downloading the beta installer and installing it.

Thanks a lot! Is there any problem if I want to wait for the public release of version 7 via the in- program updater? Avast usually shows me a red notice about the avaliability of a new program update, this time will happend the same thing? Is my computer still protected whit version 6.0.1367?

Who knows, depends on if they think it’s ready yet so you’ll have to wait and see.

Yes you are protected and avast will let you know when the new version is released, two or three weeks where hoping, best to keep checking the avast UI.

I received aBSOD of a Avast 7 driver. Where I find the dump file and where to send it? I am using Vista 64 bit

system · 2012-02-15T00:33:09.000Z

Have installed latest ver 7 AIS over my ver 6 AIS with no problems, and none of the issues described over past pages…all is good here, look forward to the release.

Do any of you think it would be safe for a user like myself who has never used a beta before to download it and not expect computer crashes?

I’m using a similar system as you…Win 7x64 SP1 (currently IE9) …I downloaded the beta on day 1 and again today and have yet to see any issues. I think my pc is pretty clean but no tricks…it’s up to you but it looks pretty smooth so far.
