Hi everyone,

there is a new beta version ready - 21.2.2450 (build 21.2.5985).

What’s new

  • Windows 10 only: Performance recording tool - used to record/report performance problems for our team to look at. You can find it in Settings → Troubleshooting
  • Performance improvements in file-system filtering
  • Rescue disk: when virus chest folder is present on any drive it’s possible to quarantine infected files detected by RD Antivirus and restore them later via Chest interface in AvastUI
  • Licensing support in Avast One for Driver Updater

Fixed

  • Scan setting is reset after computer reboot
  • Detection dialogues are opened on background when UI is opened during detection

Known issues

  • Rescue disk sometimes fail to create ISO or bootable USB due to problem with downloading needed data due to memory leak in streamfilter component
  • Post update screen is not sometimes displayed

Hello, can you please explain in more details, what exactly is happening? Does it mean, that even the exception is created, file is detected again? Or you mean you cannot start the application with existing exception? Can you please check the Virus Chest - is there any other file from application detected and not restored back?

As I see the message - do you know which application it is comming from?

Thank you.

Karel
