As far as I’m aware, there is no download link for old versions on avast.com, they only deal with the current version of avast.
You will have to check various download sites that retain old versions of software. That is more likely to be more difficult for old versions of AIS as most only have old versions of the avast free product.
Latest AvastFree upgrade installed but no GUI - just blank white window frozen on desktop. Used avastclear.exe in safemode and reinstalled - same problem.
System happy back on version 12.3.2280 (build 12.3.3154.0). >:(
Never used no other AV etc so no idea what to try as system unchanged. Can I just safely crack on with old working version and new signatures and hope for the gremlins to be thrashed with a later upgrade? Usually seems to do the trick when something befuddling happens once in a while.
I’ve found a bug in the Avast Online Security Extension when using Firefox, and I did a repair nothing has been fixed and I did a complete reinstall of AIS v17.2.2288 nothing has been fixed see image attachment also the Avast Online Security Extension addon version is v12.0.163
Edit:- sorry for the typo error in the image attachment as I’m in a hurry as I have to get ready for Lodge.
No, there is some sort of bug which is doing this. I’ve reported it on Slack and I’m not sure if anyone has seen it. Took them a while to even make addon functional in Firefox 64bit…
I just had a good laugh, I visited avast.com and seeing the avastUI on a representative laptop and it takes up most of the damn screen, yet the UI is virtually empty.
But I saved the best to last, see attached image - Fewer clicks, more intuitive and easy to use. A lot of users on these forums would disagree with some of these according to some of their posts.
I also get question on how to access one or another feature or setting within Avast.
Many of the seniors I interact with are confused about all of the changes and wish avast was still using
this interface:
There have been some really great UIs along the way from 4.x on, for me it would be a toss up between avast 7 & avast 8 for the best interface. But many of the early UIs after the skinable avast 4.x have been also been reasonably good.
I really did like the ability to set your own most used shortcuts in your image.
They got rid of that and despite the support for revamping the right click (context menu) of the avast tray icon that we have been asking for, nothing, nada, zero, zilch. I would have thought that would have been one of the easier mods, still nothing. This really would have reduced the number of clicks (to the commonly used functions) making it more intuitive and easy to use.
Account will be enabled next week, the pause button will be added but we are changing the screen a little bit more, adding also information about the file scanned. I expect the changes to be live in April.
