AVG Antivirus Beta 17.1.3004

MartinZ · 2016-12-22T15:50:03.000Z

Hi all,
we just released new beta AVG 17.1.3004.

If you have previous AVG Beta from last week installed, then you can use the in-product update(Menu->Settings->Update). No need to install again.

What’s new:

CyberCapture works and correctly reports infected files to our Threat Labs
Improvements how Firewall detects new network so you shouldn’t see the dialog about new network on the same network again and again
Better detection of first data scanned in Online shield
Many small bug fixes (82)

Known issues:

unfinished migration flows from original AVG 2016
accessing Data Safe with correct password sometimes does not work via shortcut
unfinished implementation of functions in Quarantine
exclusions (objects you would like to skip from scanning) may not work properly
crashes of the explorer.exe caused by shell extension (scanning and/or shredding)
Software Analyzer is disabled (Windows XP only)

Just a question … Do AVG users have access to this forum? Today I visited the AVG website and I couldn´t find any link.

If not, I find this forum interesting only to a very reduced group of people … Avast users testing the AVG Beta … :-\

I find it strange when avast! guys said AVG had no community. They had forums, surely there was a group of devoted users, even if that means just 3 or 5 people…

Clearly they have as there have been a number of posts from AVG users and not just Avast users testing the the AVG Beta.

Though this forum has had many users who are prepared to do beta testing, we now see Avast users now testing the AVG Beta. I would say this is because it is in our/avast’s best interests to develop the AVG product with the added avast functionality.

When we do see the next Avast Beta early next year it some of that integration would already have been beta tested/trialled, which could be beneficial because of the AVG Beta testing.

Hope avast also be fixed the firewall problem and improved the CyberCapture in next version.

My only disappointment is that Avast should be first to receive any benefit from the merger.
Right now to see and test any of these new functions and benefits, I need to install AVG which means abandoning Avast.

Not to mention we can’t really evaluate how avast! will even look like. There is discussion about the GUI, but we still have nothing functional in front of us. Are we going to just receive and be forced to accept the interface whether it’s good or not.
