Hi,
I am running windows 11
Avast 22.5.6012 (Build 22.5.7196.528)
UI version 1.0.702

I noticed that Console window where briefly appeared on my screen.
So, I decided to monitor which program was opening these Console windows.
It was Avast. I found it a little alarming at first, I thought it might be malware.
Can someone answer this question?
Is there a way to supress these Console window, so that I do not have to see them?
I find them very annoying even though I now know which program is producing them.
Thank You

This may happen after a program update

Still no update for icarus channel… :frowning:

Hi NON, seems Icarus is “dead” (at least for AV).
Haven’t seen any development/support, lately.
Devs may correct me if I’m wrong… :wink:

Hi Asyn and NON, today there will be update also in Icarus channel. We decided to not release it last week as there was an issue affecting the Icarus.

Icarus’ wings don’t like the sun, so better keep him inside in spring/summer. :wink:

Asyn, NON: Hi guys, our priorities related to “Icarus” installer for AV has been changed a little bit. We decided to prepare and publish Icarus for AVG AV brand to production first and then for Avast AV. External AVG AV BETA should be announced very soon (hopefully during next few weeks) + we will continue with publishing new BETA builds also for Icarus Avast AV. Last week we skipped Icarus Avast 22.5 BETA only due to issue already mentioned by jan.svoboda. We are sorry for not optimal communication about “Icarus” installer last weeks/months. We will update you about progress more frequently when AVG AV BETA will start. Thank you

(also I can mention here that Icarus setup is already used in various Avast apps like: Battery Saver, CleanUp, Anti-Track, Driver Updater, BreachGuard and SecureLine. AV is our current goal :slight_smile: )
