Im from Portugal. I have updated yesterday to 19.5 version and restarted several times. I saw some users have the new smart scan gui but i´m still on the old one. Is this normal because of my region or some minor error? i tried a clean install and still the same. Can you tell me pls.
Should come along in time.
On my OS’s Stable version(19.5) is still showing a Circle and the latest beta installation (no circle) has the files showing as it scans (Smart Scan)
Same smart scan gui issue. Now it´s a mixure of old scan with the new i think.
What can i try, i tried to repair nothing it doesn´t repair, it takes too long. I aproved avast technology, i´m in IT field and i like new and modern GUI but this Avast GUI is really putting me a little sad, so many errors so many times. Guys please try to be on a more stable way as i know that you can.
Behavior Shield is consistently OFF on Reboots after MS update yesterday.
The issue is not apparent with my beta installation. (Both being the same version)
Edit: Repair did not resolve. Clean install later.
Added: After ‘several’ reboots the Behavior Shield is staying Enabled at this point, only with the Ransom Shield off now. ( with no warning from Avast if the Ransomware Shield is off.)
Continually have to Check UI for issues with Avast…Not good.
New smart scan? It seems wifi scan was removed and new advanced thread tab was added which is only AD for Avast paid product (if you use free version).
If i use free version, i know i have Windows firewall, i know i have no VPN, i know i have no protection for my Document folder etc., i know my IP is visible, i know my IPS and websites can see what i am doing, i know i have unprotected DNS…
This ad is focused on inexperienced people and is completely brainwashing.
Please add options to disable scan for advanced thread in smart scan.
This new SMART scan doesn’t add anything other then trying to sell you another of their product and even in paid Pro version you cannot turn this off, its beyond bad business practice
This is a new interface for smart scan, doesn´t add any new function otherwise avast would inform us as always they had. Relative to the Ad´s sorry but i have for years i use Avast paid versions and that is not true, i can yes disable Ad without any problem. Just need to go to definions > general > privacy and choose to unselect the two options that are relating to showing product offers and done.
You’re obviously not aware of avast’s tactics to lure you into buying their other products.
The supposedly “New” Smart Scan does not add anything whatsoever other than to take you click by click to their new products so you upgrade.
As I mention already I have used paid product for close to 20 years and not for 1 but multiple PC’s and I would expect to have these types of “click by click” trap gone from paid product, but as you can see it’s not.
You really need to educate yourself and I don’t mean in rude way and if you have been using their product for as long as you claiming, you would know that this is nothing but solely to push you into direction they want you to go where you have to look and hopefully buy their upgrade options.
Fortunately, we have options and choices and I’m sure to avast it doesn’t matter if I leave or stay, I am just a small guy who wont hurt their packet by taking my business elsewhere, but everyone have their limits and mine limit ended yesterday.
Thanks to all members for helping me with issues I have ever encountered.
Bob! Sir! thanks for the videos.
You running the free version and that’s fine I can see where you won’t get enjoyed when by the end of the scan you skip the last part, which is taking you to upgrade.
As I said before when you on paid version you can take advice once or even twice but when you doing your first scan and apparently gets resolved so it said and you get green circle then you skip the redirection to purchase additional software and if you do your scan again you still facing issue that "supposedly "was fixed in the first place and I’m not talking about the final purchase page.
In fact there was nothing resolved when it said it was. So, even if you on paid version and get to the point of seen issues that you can resolve…click-by click takes you to purchase site and once again, just to convince you that you have no brain on you own.
So why won’t they stop after supposedly my issue was resolved…because this is only to persuade you to get to their crap site, sorry for the language.
And again, if I’m using their free version! be my guess and I wouldn’t mind these types of tactics but as a paying user, we don’t need to be told and keep on taking us to software that we already know exists, if I want to get it I know where to find it, but no, they injecting these intrusive selling madness even on paying members.
Anyways, they were fair enough and issued me a full refund and tbh. I was on the fence of dropping avast for a while because of these things they were trying to impose before but I always give them benefit of the doubt and though maybe they will realize that when they already have paying members why flood them with this nonsense but no…well It was OK for most time but it’s time to move ON.
I personally don’t get annoyed at an actual sales pitch.
No one works for nothing.
What I get annoyed at are sales pitched that make no sense.
As long as Avast still offers excellent protection at an excellent price (free) I’ll continue to use it.
We each have free choice. That’s mine.
