New beta version 20.1.2395

Consumer Products Public Beta Avast Antivirus Beta
1

Hi everyone,

after many weeks without any new beta release I`m glad to announce that new beta version is ready - 20.1.2395 (build 20.1.5026). As we were unable to release 19.9 to public (due to many reasons), we switched the version to 20.1 and prepare another beta. It means that 20.1 is not completely new release, but it follows up the 19.9 release.

What’s new
Browser extensions

  • Improved detection of status of browser extensions
  • Added support of detection in Opera browser
    Update process of user interface was improved
    Smart Scan improvements - Advanced issues - when everything is ok, we are showing “green” results instead of hidding the tab

What was fixed

  • Rescue Disc is working again
  • It is now possible to export certificate in Mail Shield settings

Known issues

  • Status of Chrome browser extension is not reported correctly in Avast UI

Thanks team,
Wasn’t a very smooth update for me this time.

6

Is data sharing is disabled during installation in this new beta version?(without jumpshot connection?)

7

Still not able to attach virus check message when sending messages. The check mark won’t stay.

8

Yep, it’s gone.

Is a big release planned tho? You know we’re always interested in new protective features and enhancements…

I would rather see remove most bloatware, spyware and adware alongside with behaviour shield to make Avast faster, less annoying, more private and no broken installations of legit software due to FP in Behaviour shield.

12

It would have been nice to also post the off-line installers.
Thanks to Asyn, they are available on the German Forum.

This is ironic,

Installing the Beta on a system that already has the Avast Secure Browser installed,
Resulted in the removal of the Secure Browser.

16

I also noticed that the data sharing Disclosure popup never came up?

17

No issues here after initial install bumps.
Also I think as mentioned, the ‘Earn Rewards’ option in settings is still visible but not functioning.

I also noticed that the Browser Extensions in Settings is ‘incorrectly’ showing AOS installed in Mico Edge when it’s not installed. I uninstalled/Removed it. (Reloaded and Rebooted to double-check)

Still not able to “Add a Signature to the end of sent emails” The check mark goes away.
