Two instances of AvastUI.exe

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hello,

I have just updated Avast to v2015.10.2.2214, and two instances of AvastUI.exe are running on my system (Windows 7).
Is that expected?

I’d appreciate your help.

Yes, it is a slight change in how the GUI functions. There was a post from Avast about it somewhere, but I can’t find it now

I was just going to post the same issue. The update went smoothly from Avast update, with a few clunks, but after several reboots it seems ok, other then this second AvastUI.
Since this is normal as you say-- will there always be 2 UI, or is this a minor buggy that will be fixed. With both of them running, they’re hogging my CPU.

I noticed in XP still only one instance of AvastUI.exe.

Is this working as designed ?

Evidently only one on XP.
