* Introducing * - beta version of upcoming avast update (4.7.932)

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

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.

42

You mean you see 4 providers running - or 4 providers total? (If any case, which 4 are the “active” - and which are not?)

Also, what does it mean “screen becomes black”, exactly? Like the whole monitor turns off?

Thanks

I noticed that also :wink:

Maybe your update progress is in silent mode?

44

Helo for all.
Which will be the other improvements that this version will have?
It has some forecast of launching?
Thanks.

@ Vlk

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.

And it’s really like the whole monitor turns off (but only for a second)

Very strange behavior ???

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?

Yes, the number (4) is deduced from what the tooltip on the tray icon says!

The happenings again:

  1. No provider is active and the red circle is visible. At that time the system “hangs” for 10-15 seconds.
  2. After that the tooltip says “4 providers active” and my monitor seems to turn off for a second.
  3. Now 6 providers are active and everything’s working fine.

PLS HELP :frowning:

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 :wink:

52

Is this BETA available in different languages or only English ??

53

Try booting and start only once (single click) over the installer.
It seems that the previous instance hanged.

54

Some boring info - my scanning times with 4.7.925 beta:

Scan started 3.1.2007 15:22:11
Virus definition file: 0666-1, 31.12.2006
scanned files / archives: 247050/4454
16,5 GB
infected files: 0 ;D
Task finished: 3.1.2007 16:45:09
Total time taken: 1 hours, 22 minutes, 58 seconds

My hard drive is Maxtor 6E040L0 (40 GB) and I had scanning of archived files enabled.

55

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 :wink:

56

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…???

57

Jem, which OS are you using… And was the virus dialog displayed while doing an on-demand scan, or by the on-access scanner?

58

On Demand scan - Thorough with Test Archives. XP SP2…

59

Hmmm…I confused myself. I choose to scan from the simple user interface if that’s what you mean by ‘On Demand’…

60

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)…
