I haven’t upgraded yet. Could any of you (currently using the latest version) please check on their XP system the issue reported by the OP?

Thanks in advance

The update via GUI from .1488 to .1489 worked well.

WebRep in Firefox is now holding the given position but at least on my machine it does not show up in Google search results unless I refresh the search page one or two times.
All the rest seems to be working fine.

Same problem on a XP machine here (don’t have webrep installed on my main pc). Only wikipedia shows the green bars in the search results.

I can’t reproduce the problem here on XP.

Confirmed, same here. (Even a refresh doesn’t help on my XP.)

Well all working nice and smooth here. A stable build, thank you avast!

[system]

Pushed the upgrade via UI since it had not offered me the upgrade yet. All it’s well and running ;D

Thanks Avast!

[system]

No issues so far. Fingers crossed. Thank you Avast Staff.

Google Chrome and Spotify are going slow in these last updates with Avast! running… :‘( :’(

Tested with Windows 8.

Please, check that software.

Just wanted to report WebRep not holding position and showing in a google search in IE 10 on a Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit, and on a windows 8 64 bit. The browser crashing seems to be solved. Saw this reported for other browsers but did not see for IE 10. Just wanted to be sure it was reported. Thanks sly

I am experiencing the same difficulties with WebRep and IE10.

[system]

I was playing around and found on the windows 7 32 bit I could put WebRep on the left side of the menu bar and it will stay, I was putting it on the right side which it would not stay. Will try this on the other computers. I will include a photo. Hope this helps. slybo

Edit, I should add I did this by moving the menu bar to the line that WebRep was on, does not work in reverse.

My WebRep is still grey out using the latest FF v20.0.1 and I thought Avast has already resolved this issue may I ask what’s going on please, MAN! Avast is always having problem with WebRep just doesn’t make any sense to me at all :-\

[system]

No problem for now from 8.0.1483 to 1489, via GUI, on Win XP Home SP3.

WebRep is not activated on my system, as I still don’t see the use for it.
Its only purpose is to flag potentially dangerous websites based on avast!'s users reviews. Nothing else…
(It’s a bit like trying to compare a Force Field -avast! main core- to a sticky note with a written warning on it )

But thanks avast! Team anyway!

Different type of danger though.
Sure, avast! tells you whether the particular website is infected - i.e. containing malicious code/script. The purpose of WebRep was to cover things on “higher levels” - e.g. if the particular e-shop is sending fake goods, charges twice etc.; that’s something avast! won’t tell you, but the users might.

I see. Thanks for clarifying, Igor. Makes sense from that angle…
