Thanks Karel, testing it asap…

3

Thanks, updating now. :slight_smile:

4

WFI is opening really slooooow (5-8 seconds).
Else, the new beta is running smooth, so far…

5

OS was very reluctant to ‘Reboot’ on HP Envy, my other HP was immediate.
Other then that all seems fine…

Will there be ‘further/future development’ to the “Geek Area” in next betas???

6

A valid question, nothing was added there since it was introduced. :frowning:

7

Agreed, and having more control and access to settings (especially the “Firewall”) is of major interest to me. ???

8

yes we are working on geek area right now and it will appear in UI in January

coming soon release to public

I have a process in taskmanager it is normal?

“Avast Dump Process”

It is a partial of the beta version?

13

Yes, it is normal. I believe it will be a regular part of Avast in the final version as well.

14

What is it’s function ???

15

Thanks, I calmed down.

16

I was thinking about it. First: this is only part of the BETA version (stronger error detection) or Second: Because it is an independent process and It can also work in case of a complete crash.

But not problem because very low resource requirement. 1MB CPU load= 0

17

As the name suggests, its purpose it to create a crashdump when one of our processes crashes.
Now this is nothing new, that functionality has been there for years - but we (gradually) learned that it didn’t work for all possible crash types and that a new (standalone) process is the only option to get a (so far) complete coverage.

@igor,
Thanks for the information.

Bankmode bug, not sure if this is related to the AV or ASB or both, see screenshot.
