Bug Reports for v.6.0.1091 - Avast Internet Security

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Updated Avast just now via GUI, LOVING the feature to let us remove social functions :smiley: :smiley: - Didnt mind the “like” sign but the twitter logo on notification popups was REALLY annoying…

Anyway there is a small problem (Which I dont mind at all, but reporting here since it is infact a problem ;D) When you click “like” avast and close the window that it opens, the Avast GUI freezes and I get the windows error message saying “Avast isnt responding, click to end process” - Yes this happens everytime I click “like” and close the windows that it opens… but if I leave it for about 20seconds after closing it, it gets back to normal ( Still can see it freezing, the dark grey becomes lighter…)

Is anyone else experiencing this or is it only me ? Again, I dont mind this at all, just reporting since its a minor problem… Please note that I’m using Avast Internet Security…

Had you rebooted and registered after install and still having the problem? I’m sure you did, but need to ask.

3

Well I did reboot (twice) but going to reboot again…

What do you mean registered? I updated via GUI and rebooted - if thats what you mean :slight_smile:

It’s good that you report such issues. This is how Avast improves the product for future releases. Thank you for reporting and keep up the good work. :wink:

5

I hope they note our point somewhere ??? Otherwise its hard to track from the thread itself… :-X

6

Thanks :slight_smile:

By the way, aren’t you guys experiencing this issue?

7

I’ll check this evening - not at home ATM.

Maybe it’s not a real bug - might be Avast awaiting a facebook connection that won’t establish since you close the Window instead of clicking OK?

BTW: do you have a facebook account?

@Safesurf

Done :wink: and thanks :slight_smile:

Note that I tried out Avast free same version on my virtual computer and it had the same problem… Btw Arent you experiencing this?

9

Yes I do have a facebook account, and it doesnt happen when I click the like button and open the window, it happens the moment I close it… Doesnt matter how long I keep it on, it freezes after I close it.

Check if you have the same problem when you get home and let me know :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Yeah, that’s what I mean. You close the window without clicking OK in that window - so avast may be still waiting for some data flow to / from facebook which would be initiated normally when clicking on OK (and the window would close automatically).

I’ll test it.

I couldn’t find my thread… :frowning:

12

There’s no OK button… only close and the ‘x’ button on top right to close it…

13

You still have the screenshots? post them here and i will explain… you only need to post 2 of them, the popup you get and the popup that you SHOULD get… all the others that you posted that day were pretty much irrelevant to show that bug - no offence :slight_smile:

14

Ah, I see… I haven’t bothered looking at that stuff until now, but I’ll check.

15

screenshot 1 it should be …

Screenshot 2 how its now. ignore update notification above…

Thanks Ashish… :slight_smile:

I’ll explain it here :slight_smile:

The Problem occurs when you cancel a scan from the above popup. Then when you click ‘Show last popup’ it should show image#1 but it shows image#2
