My computer updated this this morning. Immediately iTunes would not connect with airplay devices. Also, Remote app will not connect with iTunes. I have spent the last 12 hours uninstalling all apple programs and reinstalling them. I loaded iTunes onto a laptop, and everything works perfectly. Very frustrated at this point. Please fix this!
Hello Mr Pavels,
I think there is another bug not being addressed by this update. It is the Self-Defense module in Settings/Troubleshooting. It is checked by default. But , I think it is interfering with VPS updates and maybe any other kind of updates. Users have to turn off self-defense in order to get auto-update to work again…And that could leave the computer vulnerable to anti-virus disabling viruses…
No such issue with the avast self-defence and avast auto updates on both my win7 and XP Pro systems and it has been like that since the self-defence module was introduced.
There is something else going on with your system that’s for sure, other program updates shouldn’t fall foul of the ‘avast’ self-defence as it only protects avast files/folders/processes/registry entries, etc. but not other programs/areas.
So you should create a new topic and give some more details on the problem, OS, other effected updates and any other security based software that you have installed. If nothing else it may give something to work with as based on what you have posted no one can investigate.
I don’t have it set to automatically update and I never had 2 user accounts on this version when I first installed it.
I uninstalled this version late evening yesterday using the uninstall tool, or whatever it’s called in safe mode, restarted my computer and even with Avast not being installed it still showed the 2 user accounts. I reinstalled Avast, rebooted and still have 2 users on the log in screen. I’ve used Avast for years and years always liked it. Now when I reboot I have to sit in front of my computer and click on my name before any programs will load. This is totally unacceptable.
What is unacceptable is using the beta version when you clearly aren’t able to resolve any beta related issues (which this appears to be), e.g. user account creation in relation to the software updater function.
As has been said in the other topics you are posting in, what is stopping you from deleting the account.
давно уже пользуюсь авастом и не было никаких нареканий ( с 2005 года) но последнее обновление создаёт кучу проблем: в какой-то момент обновляется до пробной версии ПРО и требует покупки или активации… Снесла версию с компа, установила с сайта бесплатную, ввела свой старый ключ ( он до конца этого года), но через месяц опять всё по новой… Как отвязаться от этой напасти? готова уже обратиться к другому антивирусу…
There is also an Avast Premier version.
