Small Avast GUI bug

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi guys :slight_smile:

I’ve found a small Avast GUI bug, nothing special but funny to post :stuck_out_tongue:

To reproduce it, you need to have a second language installed.
You can do that here : Avast - Settings - General - Install additional languages.
And close the Avast GUI.

What you have to do is select: Avast - Tools - Rescue Disk - and now : Settings - General - Language - select a different language - ok.
And than select the orange home icon ( see screenshot ).

Btw. if you select : Tools - Rescue Disk - Menu , everything will be normal again.

Confirmed, reproducible with Avast Pro 12.3.2280 (build 12.3.3154.0).
Same happens with Sandbox, Software Updater or anything similar.

Thnx NON :slight_smile:

Yes, it happens with anyhing similar.
I have discovered it when posting about the Firewall, but just gave an example available in Avast Free.

Greetz, Red.

Hi Red & NON,

thanks for reporting this. Since this is not a critical issue, I am afraid that the fix will be delivered with next major program update.

Keep it on and thanks again,
B.

By the way, Rescue Disc doesn’t work.

Hi bob3160 & mchain,

I have noticed this issue reported here and I am already in contact with dev responsible.
I will keep you posted.

Thanks for great work everyone,
B.

I remember that (a long time ago) people could download a ISO and could create a rescue disk with that.
I’m not sure but I think it could be used for 1 month.
Perhaps it is possible to make something like that available till the rescue disk fix is released.

That iso was used really long time ago, now we are not using it, so i can’t post any link, since there isn’t any.
The good news is that we will release uUpdate containing the fix today or tomorrow, the latest.

Sorry for troubles,
B.
