New Avast Antivirus version is here (17.2.2288). This version doesn’t introduce any new features, rather fixes some of the most critical issues that appeared on the previous version
What’s fixed:
not working User interface after update
problems on Windows Vista after update
issues with SecureLine license after update
conflict with Comodo firewall
installation of web extensions on 64-bit version of Firefox
problems with opening Avast UI after installation
security issue in SafeZone browser banking mode
How to install:
Update from your existing Avast version via Settings → Update → Update program
I have a problem with avast (This version and 17.1)
when i add a file to virus chest it goes to virus chest
But i can stiil see a copy of that file is there
everything else is good and speed of UI loading could be better
I suppose he/she is trying to say the file is “copied” not “moved” to the virus chest.
I think it is default behavior if an user intentionally adds files to the virus chest.
It is identical (using about avast) to the last beta in that both the version number and build number. There must surely have been changes to take account of the known issues in the last beta release.
Consequent to that installation I haven’t yet been asked to reboot as I would expect on a ‘program update’ perhaps because it too doesn’t see it has changed ???
I was intermittently getting slow browsing speeds on certain (Google?) websites.
For example: Google search would not load, Youtube loads, but videos do not, Adsense banners on other sites do not load.
I have disabled web shield and since then did not experience this problem anymore, but it requires more time to test, it may be a coincidence.
That’s weird, I just did an install over the top and I don’t have the BETA branding. But I find other things very strange as to why this regular release has the same version and build number as the last beta version.
