Hi Ylap, SafeZone Browser should not be currently removed if you already installed it in the past. Could you please send me (petr.kolacek@avast.com) the following files (in zip archive) so we can look at it closer? Thank you!
For me, since this release it’s the exact opposite - I turn off “make games higher priority”, restart my pc and it’s enabled again. In fact, everything is enabled by default. Quite annoying.
The foreground process is that which has the keyboard and mouse focus. This means there is only ever one foreground process at a time, per user session. [b]Windows already applies foreground boosting by giving the foreground thread longer time slices[/b]. [b]Further increasing the priority of the foreground process and/or the specific foreground thread is not only ineffective, but harmful.[/b] Remember, giving a process a higher priority does not mean it will run faster. It simply means if several processes are active at once, it will have a higher precedence. However, if any single process has too high a precedence over other processes, as foreground boosting would result in, complications can occur. This is partly because of the additional (and now very high) CPU priority ‘skew’ between the process and its dependencies.
And of course I've tested for myself, and that statement is true. When my game gets a higher priority, my internet adapter is getting throttled - so not enough pings go out / come in. Also, stuff like macros from mice / keyboards are only working with a huge delay.
17.7.2312 Cleanup Premium - notification appeared but it cannot be closed or opened from here, it is gone only when I closed Cleanup from task bar icon completely.
Hi YLAP, If I am correct you reinstalled currently released 17.6.3625 package by new 17.7.X beta package. In this case it is OK that Safe Zone was uninstalled because it is moreless new installation of 17.7 build where installation of Safe Zone is forbidden. Safe Zone must not be uninstalled during program update of AV build with installed Safe Zone but it is not issue if it is uninstalled during reinstallation by new package. Anyway, thank you very much for your help
