Hi friends i am using avast pro beta at the moment. After installing the beta i am having a minor problem browsing. Actually the browser doesn’t open a single page unless avast update itself. Once i got the pop up saying avast virus defination updated, then after few second pages starts to load and i can brows normally. Its irritating to just wait till avast updated itself so that i can start browsing. Anyone else having this kind of problem? any suggestion?
I have installed avast yesterday and indeed rebooted. I have also excluded avast in online armor and vice versa. I am on a slow connection of 2Mbps, so its takes 1 or 2 minute time to update avast. I think People with fast internet won’t observe it.
In your case the avastSvc.exe entry isn’t even present (unless that is to show you deleted it), so would be blocked. Ensure that your firewall doesn’t just automatically block, but ask permission, so that it can be granted. Sorry I don’t use OA, so I’m not familiar with its settings.
You could also delete all of the avast entries as I don’t know why you have three entries for avast.setup as essentially there should only be one. Once you have done that put OA in learning mode or whatever it is called now and reconnect to the internet to create the entry for avastSvc.exe, also do a manual update as that should also get the entry for avast.setup.

Did everything as you suggested but still online armor not asking for AvastSvc.exe, its only notifying me about avast.setup wants to connect to internet i allowed it and now there is only one entry of avast.setup in the firewall. Shall i remove the exclution of avast and then try again to do a manual update of avast?
I don’t know why it wouldn’t place the rule in, unless you also recreated the exclusion. Personally I’m not a fan of setting any pro-active exclusion unless I actually experience a problem that warrants it.
I did put OA in learning mode also tried a repair of avast. Now both avastsvc.exe and avast.setup are allowed through OA. There are no error massege. My problem is when i first connect my laptop to internet and start my browser firefox, it open my homepage without problem but then when i try to go another website it just sits there rotating its green ball saying website found but doesnot load the page. Then sometime latter i get a pop up from avast saying its updated itself. Only after that pages started to load and i can browse normally. I am on a slow 2 Mbps connection so it takes avast quite some time to update itself. So its slightly annoying. I did not had this problem previously.
That to me is pretty strange, as normally it is because of the changed processes/components in a program update that might cause the blocking experienced. So when dropping back to the previous avast version, those processes/components would be as they were and appear to pass through OA without problem.
To me that tends to conform OA blocking the updated components, rather than there being a problem with the latest beta. Otherwise we would be seeing many more such problems in the forums by the avast beta and OA users and we aren’t seeing this.
I’m convinced if you installed the beta and then reinstalled OA it would detect the programs/component currently installed in its learning mode without problem. Unfortunately the OA users haven’t graced us with their presence.
Hold off on that update there is an issue in the GUI, where the shields aren’t recording any activity. The icon still rotates and the summary reports your system is secured.
