Thanks Karel, already up and running.
System startup is quite slow, else no issues (so far).

“Toaster “You are protected” now correctly hides after the 15 seconds”
I expect a popup if I’m not protected or if something is not working properly.
I expect Avast to protect me. After all, that’s why I installed it.
A toaster letting me know that Avast is doing what it should be doing certainly doesn’t give me any confidence in the product.
I think someone needs to re-examine the logic of that popup. Thanks.

Couldn’t agree more.
This is pretty much the same as getting a popup after the right click (explorer) scan to say nothing was found. I only need to now when something was found.

Same behavior from 19.4.2373

This is my system now

19.5.2377
W10 x64 17763.475
FF67b19

Still broken the scanning of HTTPS pages.

Are you running a preview build ???

[b]Known issues

  • Detection dialogs are opened in background[/b]

[u]What was fixed

  • Avast: Detection dialogs are opened in background[/u]

If it was already fixed in this build why on earth it is still a Known issue?

Thanks for the new beta :slight_smile:

Thanks, testing

Preview of what?

11

Windows 10. Turns out, it was my windows 10 that needed some updates.

12

No issues here with installation on Compaq Win 10
No disabled shields at this point, running smooth :slight_smile:

13

Connections from Firefox looks slow now, I’m not sure this caused by beta or not…
With Google Chrome it looks fine.

14

Hi, no issues with FF ESR here.

15

+1
No issues with FF 66.0.5

Edit for added info.
I tested using both systems, one running the beta and the other running Stable Version.
Both functioned very similar and as they always have. :slight_smile:

16

You are right, my mistake. Section “Known issues” removed.
Thank you

Looks like it’s only my machine, thanks.

I’ve only just established that Avast is the culprit causing my connection problems although I’ve had problems for many months! When I eventually discovered the cause I uninstalled and re-installed Avast and that temporarily fixed the problem. I’ve now loaded the latest Beta and the problems persist.

The symptoms are no internet (DNS not responding) when I first boot my PC and this often lasts for several minutes. I’ve also noticed that I cannot access Avast during this time as it’s shown in the notification area but will not respond to double-click or right-click. Task Manager also shows high activity for Avast during this period.

I have the latest version of Windows 10 installed.
