Hi everyone
since 2 days I am having double process of avastui.exe, this slows me down and makes cuts in the connection
version free avast 16.6.2310
How can i fix this? or is it now something normal since this version? I delete everything and install from 0 and still the double process, it is as if I ran 2 avast (which is not so) and if I open it location of the file shows me the same path.
Thank you

I believe that this has been the case for a while now, as the AvastUI.exe is running all of the time in the background with the avast tray icon being displayed.
If you then open the actual User Interface, it appears to be running under another instance of the AvastUI.exe, but when you close that User Interface the second instance of the AvastUI.exe should be closed.
Is that what is happening to you or are there two instances of AvastUI.exe all of the time ?
Hi DavidR
Yes since 3 days ago are two instances of AvastUI.exe all of the time
if i open interface i have 3 instances, i close and still running 2.
If you look in the Details tab of Task Manager how many instances of avastUI.exe are there
I’m not totally sure if the avastui.exe.sum has something to do with this, but I doubt it as I think that is a check sum function (validation/corruption check). I have the avastui.exe.sum, but you will notice that it is very small as I mentioned a validation check sum file (not the program file).
There will always only be one instance of the AvastUI.exe in the avast program folder. That however, doesn’t mean it can’t be run more than once. In the same way the Chrome Browser (if you use it) runs many instances of the browser executable file, but there is only one instance of it in the program folder.
I think this is a means of speeding things up so that the one instance of the avastui.exe isn’t trying to handle all of these functions on one process.

The image you have attached isn’t the tab called Details. Have a look at my last attached image which is from windows 10 (64bit ) Task Manager screen, that is displaying the results from the Details tab.
What is your operating system ?
As even with the different language names of the tabs in your image, your layout is different to my win10 image.
Windows 7 ultimate
i no have details tab in task manager
OK, it looks like win7 doesn’t give as much information in the task manager.
I also have an Acer netbook on win7 Starter Edition (32bit) and I don’t see any duplication. The problem with that is it is on an older version of avast, I haven’t updated it to the latest version of avast (16.x.xxxx or later) so I have no direct comparison.
That said you are also running an older version of avast - version free avast 16.6.2310 - and if I remember that did have instances of duplicate instances of the avastui.exe running. That I believe was improved/resolved in avast 17.x.xxxx, but there would be no fix for old versions of avast when new versions are released.
The idea being that users update avast to the latest version as old versions are effectively frozen in time.
This started with this last update, with the previous version I did not have this problem (which I do not really know if it’s a problem) the fact is, since this happens I have connection breaks every 4 or 12 minutes for about 40sec to 2 min 
Hi guys!
I’m using the same OS (see my sig - ‘Twin-OS’), have now updated to the latest beta and can confirm the double-UI (see screenshot 1).
But now, I have only 1 UI (see screenshot 2)! Why, I don’t know.
Concerning this ss, it seemed to me, that those 2 Firefox modules doesn’t harmonize, for since thea are double, ther are some curiousities like this (during posting ‘Preview’ works, 'Post sometimes not).

The confusion was your type of the version in your first post.

Thanks for the screenshot, I decided not to partake in this beta as there were no details of bugs fixed and worse, too many known issues.
Many years ago I used to look forward to the avast beta sessions as they were solid, very few issues and none serious. Now its a bloody adventure, beta on beta on beta, with some bugs and the next thing you know its been released.
I wonder what Alpha testing and QA are doing before things are released to beta testing and regular release.
@Reniatnok
The correct version was 17.6.2310, the last final.
@DavidR
I see and can only confirm this.

oo if I apologize I put a number less in the version of the first post.
then this is normal? we can close the topic or wait for more information.
Thank you
