NEW Version: 19.4.2374 (April 2019)

[baumgrenze]

Many thanks to all who worked very hard to repair and test patch that addressed the problem of CHKDSK not working on boot (Win7/Pro x64) and for doing it in record time.

I will try to remember all the things this confusing experience taught me in the process.

Boot time scan is missing in the virus scan section in the latest version of Avast Premier.

I’ve already done the Avast repair, nothing, no boot time scan and I’ve done a clean installed, same issue no boot time scan showing up in the virus scan section.

Did Avast removed boot time scan in the latest Avast version ??

That’s wired, I’m not sure if this might be a bug issue for W8.1 OS, which I cannot get the boot time scan in the virus scan section showing up.

You’ve got to be kidding me, right? Was there a direct FTP to upload the bloody file? Or do I have to drink Rum all over again?

There’s an incorrect setting causing this… I’ll try to fix it somehow

Do you need a copy of my Avast backup settings file Igor???

[igor0]

Nope, I got it from the support package.
Somewhen in the past, there probably has been some kind of crash during which the main INI file got corrupted. Overseer has fixed it (otherwise the program would hardly work), but one particular value was fixed incorrectly (because its correct value has changed between Avast v18 and v19) and the result is you don’t see the boot-time scan in the UI.
I’ll update it in one of the next virus definition updates.

Agreed +1

Hello Igor,

The “White UI” issue when opening Avast is not fixed for me, and I’ve read it was supposed to be fixed in version 19.3.

I’m running the latest version of Avast 19.4.2374 on Windows 8.1 (64-bit), with UI version 1.0.360.

Please see the screenshot I attached.

Alright, next time and I know this isn’t your decision, but could you work to include that in the patch notes, seeing something like that suddenly running and claiming to be from avast for sure made me think something had been compromised on my system, since there was NOTHING about the new process in the patch notes on this update.

Transparency is really important to me when it comes to Antivirus companies as we are trusting our systems to them.

Very good point, it’s my fault, I forgot to add it to release notes. I updated them now.
