Thanks Jan, testing it asap…

Avast AntiTrack is now available also in Avast UI under Privacy tile
Is it will be in AIS?
4

Nope, it’s a paid/standalone component.

5

why they not bundle it up with AIS?

6

You asked a question, got an answer.
Asking the question again isn’t going to change the answer. :slight_smile:

7

Well, first reported for 17.8.2317. Nothing more to add… :frowning:

8

Thanks for the new beta :slight_smile:

9

Please elaborate how we should test this exactly…

10

Still not fixed: The tray icon doesn’t animate anymore.

11

Quick Scan is back. :slight_smile:

12

Very disappointing, how bloody hard can this be to resolve. Just because something is cosmetic doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have any priority. Surely these cosmetic issues could be resolved quickly and something seen to be being done (listened to) by Avast.

Or is it more a reluctance to bring it back ?

13

I to agree come on folks…

14

I give up. This is a bit ridiculous quite frankly…

15

I’ve stopped tracking how long it’s been since they disabled that very useful little item.
I haven’t forgotten that Avast made a promise to return the feature.

16

Same promise was made to revise the avast tray icon context menu to gain easier access to areas of the UI, that is still festering somewhere. Not to mention the restoration of the Statistics having removed it well over a year ago and still no sign of a return.

17

avast should spend more time to fix their compatibility issues and all reported issues before thinking about adding new features

avast is one of the worst programs to play alongside other security products because it just makes other programs stop working or crippled, for example, outlook in v17.9

v17.9 made me uninstall avast immediately due to higher memory usage (perhaps, fixed for now) and some weird, silent compatibility problems. I can’t use novirusthanks OSArmor anymore because avast just makes it unusable
that’s not good

I’ve been warning them about piling of bugs if you don’t fix them regularly. And that’s exactly what’s happening again and again. It’s hard to believe entire development team is so occupied that they cannot fix things we discover during betas. If that’s the case, someone needs to replace the usually large marketing teams and replace them with coders… When your eagerness to sell products overcomes the ability to actually make them, that’s when you have a problem…

19

Avast Submit Feedback Dialog box opening is really slow.

My beta avast unknowingly turned into stable build, what happened? I tried to update to this version and found it want to update to stable one… :o
