It seemed to only do it after a certain amount of time passed. I will need to test it again in the near future to see if it is resolved.
Yes, it should rescan the apps after some time or in case the new app was installed / updated. If something will be wrong, please let us know.
I just got an lg optimus q slider (lgl55c), I install avast,
and the privacy advisor runs repetitively and constantly. I
watched and allowed it to complete 23 times before I had
to force stop and uninstall. I would really like to get this
fixed, avast is my goto solution for android security.
Thanks for report, it could be caused by LG ROM (these are very strange).
I figured as much, it runs great on my lg vm670 though & all my other android devices. I tried a couple of ROMs, and after a bunch of terminal work, I finally stopped the process that was triggering it, though I’m not sure which it was. It would be nice, if not adding a disable feature, just as a suggestion, at least you implemented a scheduling option, so that privacy advisor could only run at a specified time each day or upon installing a new app or update, this would be very helpful to the less tech savy users who encounter this problem. Thanks again for all that you do at the avast team, & keep up the good work!
We will try to implement something, but no promises …
Well, Privacy Advisor ran yesterday on it’s own after I opened the GUI from the app menu. Looks like the problem wasn’t resolved on 4.4 either.
