Avast! is rolling out an Emergency Update at this moment.
I am curious what it fixes.
Greetz, Red.
It’s NOT the subscription information being accessible in Avast Internet Security. :-\
And NOT the Sandboxie issue either …
Greetz, Red.
Well one of the team mentioned that a fix for something (I thought the subscription bug) would probably be released via the emergency update.
I guess we will have to wait and see.
Have you actually rebooted since WinPatrol or your firewalls started querying emergency update related permissions ?
Yes of cource 
Greetz, Red.
I also have restarted Windows, and the subscription bug isn’t fixed.
Huh ???
Serious : I didn’t had the shop and subscription bug, but now after the Emergency Update I have those bugs too on both systems :o
Greetz, Red.
Maybe these bugs will be declared the new ‘normal’. 
Maybe they want to get rid of the paying customers
Greetz, Red.
Today, Avast Internet Security will display subscription information by right-clicking on Subscription information of the Avast tray icon on both machines.
Yesterday, even after a couple of reboots after the emupdate was applied, it wasn’t working.
Yes
Shop and subscription are working here too ( again ) on my Win 7 system, also when I open them from the Avast GUI
EDIT : On my Vista system it is working too. It seems to be fixed than
EDIT 2 : No new Emergency Update was rolled out today. So how it is fixed now, is a mystery to me.
Greetz, Red.
I just wonder if as well as the EM Update there has also been some change on the engine update, within the regular avast Engine and virus definitions auto update.
I just want to add that both systems were switched on from sleeping mode.
When I first tested shop and subscription after Gopher John’s message, they were not working.
Than I updated both virus defenitions and program from the GUI.
After rebooting Windows, shop and subscription was working again on both systems.
