I confirm this behavior here too… It hangs before avast is running.
Yes, the latest version load (seems to load) faster.
Edited:
I can’t confirm this part… sorry, for me, all avast protection is ‘hanged’ for some seconds, not that much… but all providers, not for then the others.
Yes, only 4 providers are active (and I don't know which). But when it "hangs" no provider is running and the "red circle" is visible.
I’m confused. So is it four or zero? (When there’s four, there’s no red circle on the tray icon, right?)
Also, the number (4) is deduced from what the tooltip on the tray icon says?
This is the setup log:

This time a bit later but I’m on BETA too now. I can say, what the full system scan (standart sensivity with archivces on) is improved even with my old Duron. This time it was ~ 30 minutes instead of 40
No problems so far apart from that very tiny glitch i’ve noticed in About dialog.
So are Armadillo and Obsidium unpackers coming with some next beta update or next actual update? I’m assuming the second though i like to be surprised
Major problem with the Beta here. Running a ‘Thorough’ scan - picks up a Keylogger app that is used for monitoring kids on PC’s here, as the ‘current’ / release version of Avast does. With the Beta though the ‘Virus Found’ dialogue hangs. It’s not possible to choose any action at all - moving the mouse over the window gives me the hourglass, and I had no choice but to use Task Manager to kill Avast. Back to the release version which seems to work fine. Any ideas / thoughts…???
More…if I choose to scan the directory that holds the Keylogger installation executable from the SUI, it works fine in that I get the Virus Found dialogue, and I can choose an action. The problem appears to be only if it’s been sitting there scanning the entire machine, which it was, and then it finds the file and I get the hang…
If it’s relevant, the app is on the D drive (2 NTFS volumes here)…
