Nice, I just changed my connection and because AIS was unable to detect the new network (bug 1) I just manually deleted all network profiles, stopped the firewall, restarted it and this time it detected the new network just fine, but immediately froze. Looking in Process Explorer, I now have two afwServ.exe processes, one at 100% CPU (bug 2).
i have determined that avast is blocking something on my internet connection because every once and awhile i get no internet connection. i know this has to do with avast because when i have avast on i receive this problem and when i turn avast off it goes away :-\
There is a Beta forum that says, “Discussion About The New Beta” for it’s subtopic, so why not put all Beta and Release Candidate Releases in that forum? Or would not enough people go to the Beta forum, so we should keep the Beta and RC releases in the General Forum like they are now?
10 minutes before while i m browsing a pop up window appeared showing “avast network shield blocked a threat”(using 6.0.1091 updated from 1027).But the network shield log shows connections blocked 0, why? Sorry if this question irrelevant to this topic, I m here for the first time. :o
There is a longer thread going about this, but if it helps.
I am experiencing a conflict with the core part of AVAST (not a shield) that renders Auto CAD LT 2002 unusable.
For V6.0.0 I could disable the shields and use AVAST. For this beta release, and the full release before it, something changed and disable all shields no longer solves the problem. I’m hoping this is something that can be corrected.
Thanx

Last post of the old thread below…
I spent some time this morning trying to work this out with little luck.
Here is where I am at. All these are “free” versions.
Avast 6.0.0. ACAD LT crashes with GEDIT 3 errors. If I disable all shields AVAST ACAD runs fine.
Avast 6.0.1091 same as above but disable all shields does not allow ACAD LT to run.
Avast 6.0.1119 same as .1091.
I tried uninstalling the behavior shield and nmb suggested with no effect. I then uninstalled every shield one at a time to see which one caused the problem. With all shields uninstalled ACAD still crashed fairly fast. To check myself I then completely uninstalled AVAST and ACAD ran fine again.
What I can conclude from this is the problem is not in a particular shield but in some common core part of AVAST that runs outside the shields themselves.
Any idea what to do next other than use a different AV program?
You guys have a Beta forum for the community, so it would help if all Beta releases and questions went in there. This forum, Avast Free/Pro/Suite, should be about the current releases to the general public. This is because IMO, there are too many people who don’t understand that Beta/RC candidates mean “Not Done Yet. May be buggy!”
However, at the same time, the Beta forum would provide ample testing for experienced users, who understand about Beta’s. The Beta forum should provide the opportunity to test, without current full release threads getting in the way. This would simplify things for everyone.
avast didn’t detect the ZIPPED Eicar even when I check 7zip archive, RAR archive and ZIP archive in File System Shield Packers settings. I have set File System Shield to test whole file. The rest of the settings are in default.
