Problem with avast 6.0.1287 no activity in shield interface

Problem with avast 6.0.1287.

Whilst the avast icon is rotating and is reporting your system is secured. The Summary screen also shows secured. But if you open the Real-Time shields and check them there is zero activity displayed.

This is the same on both my systems XP Pro and win7 32 bit.

Yes… I’ve the same problems, but I updated it from the beta.
I’ll try to do a clean install now… :cry:

Agreed!

That was awsome with the latest beta version. I just can’t understand.

Have you done an update from beta version, or a clean install?!
(I made the first one)

I have no idea. :frowning:

I think this may be more than something which will be resolved by a clean install, but let us know how you get on.

Confirmed. None of the shields doesn’t show any activity.
Windows 7 x64

I also do a clean install. Some ms. :slight_smile:

I’ve done it. Nothing changed at all. :frowning:
Real time shields do not show any ZERO activity. :cry:

The problem is still after an clean installation.
I confirm that systems are also afflicted Win 7 32bit

Iv just done a clean install and there is still no shield traffic activity shown.

Me too same problem!
It was better not to update it!

(XPSP3)!!!

I have just done an eicar test and the alert function is working, image1. So the Summary status of Secured appears to be correct. But no activity in the actual interface for the Last file infected: field. In fact both these last scanned and last infected fields are greyed out in all shields, image2.

Edit: Web shield also checks out, see image3.

I thought it wouldn’t be quite this simple.

DavidR Yes you’re right! We look forward to an update …

have this problem as well hopefully there is a update today that fixes it dont want to continue running a system that is not protected.

It appears to all intents and purposes that you are still protected, but the reassurance of having those stats to show it is actually scanning is something which we have all got used to.

I would think that they would pull this update whilst investigating.

Read my comments above.

If you go to statistics, you’ll see that we’re still protected, but just not seeing the active logs.

I think the system is protected, the only thing wrong is the traffic activity.

glad to hear than that we are being protected but the activity in the shield not running is gonna cause some people to panic thinking there anti-virus isnt working fully.

Stats are available, so the system should be secured.
See screenshot.

:slight_smile: Oh yesss!!

I think an update is available soon
