Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
21

hai asyn can avast detect and prevent macro virus attacks ?
because I work with many macro files so I’m worried that one of them could be dangerous

22

Sure.

23

But when the Avast firewall will be active, will the Windows firewall have to be deactivated or can both be active?

24

Just as with the AV, Windows deactivates its product when you install a third party FW.

25

Ah ok, but with Comodo Firewall this does not happen.

26

I have same problem. Avast UI and system tray icon crashes after boot. Did repair and uninstall reinstall. UI crashes. Windows 10 says I’m protected by Avast but I can’t use the UI. Can I download the previous version until this is sorted?

27

Old version doesn’t help, it will be automatically updated to the new one. We are investigation the issue. Anyway thank you very much for such details: A heap has been corrupted.

You completely removed connection bars that let control how much access an app has to in, out or only local network… Why?
21.6 had these options, https://imgur.com/a/vBC286q and 21.7 doesnt - is there alternative to them?
Also Application Rules are BARELY working, trying to access them crashes Avast

This never happened before in 8+ years I paid for your software. This is the most unstable release.

29

there is no option anymore to search for rules as before. Now you expect users to scroll down through 70 apps to find the right one…

30

Is it possible to download 21.6 form anywhere?

31

Try https://majorgeeks.com/

32

The will always download the latest stable version.

33

Try File Hippo - https://filehippo.com/download_avast-antivirus/ though it has old versions available, I can’t see any 21.x versions there.

Did a search for “Download avast 21.6” without the quotes and found this https://www.filepuma.com/download/avast_free_antivirus_21.6-29474/

34

Okey

@DavidR. Hippo v Puma again. I remember us having problem finding back versions of v18 some time ago and you posted link to filepuma for that as well. Good to learn old versions are still on there.

I would reccommend users keep previous copies of offline installers as backup, in case of problems with the latest release version.

36

Hi, there’s still a search option, see screenshot.

37

However, there are only free versions and Serjan would like to find an old paid version.

There is practically only the solution given by rocksteady

38

I hadn’t read the full topic when I posted.

However, I just wonder if from the installation of avast free if the paid license is applied or assigned from the avast account, would that convert to the paid version ???

I too would recommend downloading and saving copies of the off-line installation file.

39

Just to emphasize, save the off-line installation file.
The online version will always install the current or most recent version.

Hello Serjan,

  1. network and application rules can be filtered via button More->Filter rules.
  2. Avast 21.6 is not possible to officially download.
  3. Is it possible to share crash dump (related to application rule)? Dump file should be located here: c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\ . If possible share to petr.blatny@avast.com .
  4. Related to missing connection bars → I’m sending the feedback to the UI/UX and FW team.

Thank you very much for letting us know.
