Avast shields not active after restart.

Occasionally I use shield control to disable all shields until restart, however it never restarts after PC reboot. This has gone on for a while now, I figured I’d wait and see if an update would fix this, but so far nothing.

Is this a known bug? Is there a fix incoming?

This is a known bug which was reported on 29th June.

I’ll get confirmation for you if its fixed in the current BETA which will becoming stable soon.

Thanks dude, nice to know that it is a known issue, rather than it being at my end.

Oh and btw the forum verification graphic is awful, if it wasn’t for the ‘Listen to the letters’ option I wouldn’t be able to post, not sure if it opening vlc in order to play is all that great, but at least I can post…

It is an anti-spam measure and as such has to be hard/er to stop the spammers/bots, it is only for your first 3 posts.

I have received confirmation that this bug has been fixed in the release candidate which will become the stable build today.

Thanks for the clarification.
