No Pause button, can´t see the file which is scanned at the moment...

system · 2017-02-14T15:36:26.000Z

Since the new update, you can´t even pause the test. This option was included in the older versions. This is going downhill. I had to even add all my games to the exeptions list, otherwise they would have crashed (I had been receiving crash message in GTA 5, not even started up, also in SMITE). I can´t even see which file is tested at the moment like in the previous versions. I don´t care about a new GUI or a Gaming Mode… I just want a working Antivirus, which the older versions were. Why removing important things and adding not necessary things?

So my questions:

Will be the Pause Button added in the future update?
Will be able to see the File Tested? Because I can´t see any progress, just 0% for an hour.
GTA 5, SMITE won´t even start up without adding them to the exeptions list. I had to add Team Fortress 2 to the exceptions list, those load times since update were killing me.
When is going to be Avast updated?
Is there an option to downgrade? Because this new version is a garbage.

This has been mentioned in other topics, as far as I’m aware it is acknowledged as a bug to be fixed. I don’t have a date for this to occur, but hopefully soon.

Which one do you mean? I posted 3 issues. Bug - Singular, which one do you mean now? Anyways, the Pause button is the base… I don´t mind when they add something new, but about removing things which are very important I feel really pissed off. Especially people who paid for the program… Is there an option for downgrade?

I can’t recall of the topic and its URL from memory, only that I have seen it.

I was not referring to any of your posts.

Ah, I got it. So in your 2 posts you just informed me, that you don´t know (like me) answer to any of my questions.
So. Is there anyone who knows the Answer? The best will be a reaction from an Avast Employee…

Let me repeat the questions…

Only the avast team can answer your questions, for the most part those active in this forum are avast like yourself.

The fact that we have seen it being acknowledged as a bug and will be resolved, we don’t have an insight as to an exact date is no less of an answer.

I will trouble you no further.
