there is a new beta version ready - 23.2.6053 (build 23.2.7961).
What was fixed
Fixed issue where disabled shields message in UI had yellow instead of red color.
Fixed the incompatibility with product DxO PhotoLab and also other possible performance problems caused by the same bug in the AV.
Hi GEGEPING, thank you for your feedback. Glad to hear that the DxOLab works well. In case you feel like there might by any performance problem, could you please follow the procedure described here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=237567.0
I will try to find out if it is still valid process, in the meantime could you please try to report it directly via AV UI? (Settings > General → Troubleshooting > Record a performance problem).
it says there is an update but cant download it. if i chose avast to repair itself it says somebody might have changed the program etc., could be an attack on it.
You don’t say what your current Avast program version and build number is ?
What or why can’t you download e.g. what errors are you getting ?
Have you tried a system restart ?
I have my Avast Program set to manual program updates as I monitor the Avast forums to see when a new program is released, what changes have been made, any bug fixes are in it, etc. If I don’t feel the changes or bug fixes effect my system, I just keep monitoring and see if there are any reported issues with the update.
You have posted in the beta sub-forum, but I assume (dangerous I know) you aren’t on the Avast Beta stream.
This started appearing in Avast version 23.3.xxxx, check out this topic from this first report on can’t update and or version is the same as installer.
So it would be worth reporting your problem in this related (to the regular release of 23.2.xxxx) topic, as this one is effectively beta and dead/old. - https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=322940.0
Clean install means totally removing any prior installs using the removal tool, rebooting and then doing a new install.
