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.

And I agree when comes to “free” program but not paid proprietary software. There are always more intelligent, smarter ways to peak someone’s interest into products you want to sell, but doing this in such deceitful way by first bypassing their settings and installing program update without users awareness then trying to steer them to sale pitch…that’s definitely not smart nor ethical ways.

My settings are to be made aware when there’s a new version available. That’s exactly what happened.
The only reason for my video was because I was testing something and needed to do a clean install to accomplish my test.

My computer has been extremely SLOW booting up – I think it has to do with the Antivirus, as my Windows 8.1 Action Center warns me that there is no antivirus protection on and asks me to choose it. Every. Time. Once I check the boxes, it gradually gets to where the systems run normally and I have no other issues. Is Avast not starting on its own when my computer turns on?

Hi,

Since this program update I have had a minor yet irritating problem with the full virus scan.

I run a full virus scan on a regular weekly basis (unless events require I need an additional scan to check the system). Since the 19.5 program update I have experience a problem as follows:
I load the program gui; go to ‘Protection’ > ‘Virus Scans’ > ‘Full Virus Scan - Scan Now’ and the scan appears to start but almost immediately stops with the message ‘Great. no issues found’. Clearly the scan has not been run - if I repeat the process, the same thing happens. In order to run the full virus scan, I click ‘Done’, repeat the process once more and the full virus scan starts normally. There is no problem with ‘Smartscan’.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit - is this a known bug (I have reported it a week ago) or is this a problem with my installation?

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

Repair Avast:

1. Avast GUI → Settings → Troubleshooting
2. Click on ‘REPAIR APP’.
3. Follow instructions.
4. Reboot.

Hi Asyn,

By following your suggestion the problem is now resolved.

Many thanks, cheers.

You’re welcome.

After updating to the latest release, a window pop-up asking to select my network (private/public). I have set this to private in the setting options and this still appears. The orlder release did not have this problem.

There are other topics relating to this bug. Avast is aware.

What makes you say it’s caused by Avast ???

Hmm. Since this update my email client won’t connect with the server unless I turn off email protection in Avast.

Email client is Forte Agent 8. Error message is “Connection closed unexpectedly by server” so I expect the problem is at the server end rather than the client.

The latest version 19.5.4444.501 program 19.5.2378
I’ve done everything possible to stop this issue which still persists.
! Mark showing on Avasts system tray icon, to fix it I have to right click tray icon, then Avast shield control and enable the one that has been disabled, I really forget which one it is, I had to do this 4 times before the exclamation mark would disappear permanently in this session.

This issue has persisted for quite some time now on windows 7

Please can this be fixed, I’ve tried everything.
