Thanks for the new beta.
Updated automatically, after that my machine started to act weirdly and then stop working (AvastSvc.exe consumes 1 whole core, no Ctrl-Alt-Del). After reboot, it seems working fine.

Again same issue.

Hello NON,

it’s a VPS issue, it should get fixed in the next VPS release.

Has amoeba animation been fixed now or is it still spazzing out randomly?

I’m afraid not. For me it’s still there.

There is definitely a better way and as in many cases it was/is how it used to be done, no interaction required unless something was found. Why was it called aswQuick.exe, because it was meant to be quick with no requirement to open the UI to run the scan. As we all know opening the UI is anything but Quick. To open the UI to run a Quick scan is a contradiction.
