WR not working, but the big problem is avast is not letting Outlook sync with emal accounts. It will allow them to be received but not send or sync folders (gmail and a local ISP). I rolled back to before the update and reinstalled again with the same result.
Updated from the 1466 through the GUI and all worked like a charm.
Thank you so much! Keep on this excellent work.

This is a case i have to agree. The same win7 64-bit system freezes every time i try to boot in Windows. Don’t have the problem with Win8 x64 though.
update went fine here. through the program update. keep up the good work avast team.
Registered just to add to the pile of users that are also experiencing the freezing after logging in on Win7 x64.
Uninstalled in safe mode, rebooted, reinstalled and sometimes my system will freeze after a few hours right after installation or right after a reboot.
Currently don’t have it installed. Is it possible to download the older build?
it did freeze the first time i booted up after updating but just for some seconds I guess…but after that…it became normal…and now I love the new avast improvements ;D :

Why didn’t I think of checking there! Thanks mate.
About the problem in FF, I guess. 
As it did work on the 1472 RC, 2 minutes before installing the update…
Note: I’m on FF ESR, for details see my sig.
You’re welcome.
I just submitted some info on the ticket (TSN-394907), which was opened as a problem with Chrome, cause that’s what I thought it was at the time - here’s what I sent - he had asked me to installed 1473.
1473 is the version I just installed. But it turns out not to be specifically a problem with Chrome - it also effects Firefox, Thunderbird. I am currently running with network shield, web shield, and mail shield all disabled.
I just re-enabled all the shields, and tried Thunderbird - it says “an error occurred with the pop3 server - mail server responded with (blank).” Chrome says “Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.” Firefox just says “connection reset.”
It’s network shield that effects Thunderbird, not the mail shield. But all 3 shields have to be off to get Firefox and Chrome to work. Which makes no sense to me.
There is nothing in the Web Shield log or Mail shield logs about them blocking anything during this testing - just a few old entries (it would be nice if they were time stamped) from spam emails and bad web sites a few days ago.
And I was running with all shields up until I installed 1473. At least I am pretty sure I was … The install was clean, as far as I can tell.
Just FYI - I run Online Armor firewall.
Any suggestions?
It’s the last program update we plan to do before version 8 (slated for Q1 2013).
So something is big inline waiting for avast! users…great job there Vlk love you guys!! ;D ;D
I just updated and .1473 is kinda broken.
I just had a problem on Monday with a bad Java DL in the cache, avast! worked fine.
I just ran another ‘Select folder to scan’, the report was BLANK,it was there in the Ship’s Log, but nothing on the page, no printing, nothing?!
EDIT
Ran it AGAIN, getting some weird reports “Error; The system cannot find the path specified(3)” when running the ‘Select folder scan’ on the Java cache in c:, same place I had the problem on monday, and everything worked in the older version(7.01466).
Also,the ‘Show report file’ link is kaput…
All 3 of you, MBAM, OA Firewall and avast!, you guys are giving me grief, nothing but bad updates from all 3 of you…
still nothing helped and again i use the oldest version
will there be a update to fix the problem ? seems like im not the only one with the freeze
Win7 64bit
Seems that I still get this error with a few applications…
e.g. with “Mozilla Firefox” and “M$ Internet Explorer”.
I’m experiencing the exact same issue with this version and wondering the same. Also had to uninstall Avast in safe mode.
In the meantime I will be using MSE and Malwarebytes…
See: Reply #66
For me, this version is working perfectly.
Try doing a ‘Select folder scan’ and see if the report is blank or reports that the path couldn’t be found,SOMEONE???
Seems to work here win 7 64bit
