It’s recommended to use the in-product update (Settings->Update->Program), if you have Avast already installed.

Any feedback is welcomed.

Enjoy this version.

Updated via UI, just need to reboot now. :slight_smile:

4

Thanks. Updated, no issues to report.

5

The Popup after reboot is not updated: http://prntscr.com/6wl93d

Apart from that nothing to complain

6

Thanks for the update. Did through GUI, everything seems fine

7

Over the top installation.Everything looks good.
Didn’t see Skype offer during installation.
Thanks.

Edit :
After this update and reboot, I lost all restore points including one created by Avast.
I don’t know if this is connected with Secure Virtual Machines or something.

8

Update from the UI of 10.20.2217, appears to be running fine. I wasn’t offered Skype in the previous beta or this regular release.

9

The problem with a silent install of Skype in the last beta appears to be fixed in this final release of Avast.
Thanks

I had a weird issue after I installed this update and the last. After I had a Blue Screen (unsure if related to Avast), I couldn’t get past the Windows Logo screen. According to a diagnostics screen, my boot sector got corrupted.

17

That has to do with Avast’s NG service still. :confused: Does it use VirtualBox’s old version or something?

18

Just letting you know, I installed this update successfully via Avast GUI from the previous version and the same issue still arises in this new version. From the previous version, I still have this support ticket number still open and I am still receiving support from avast support.

The bug is named Avast Account Bug in Avast GUI. Ticket number is #BYU-790-31187.

Thanks.

I was about to download avast! from Cnet website… It says its 2015.10.2.2215 … I notice this is more update so i’ll download from here… But the one on Cnet i was wondering is this the avast installer or a cnet one?
