The ability to choose languages has also been removed

Of course you can change language:

Changes from V2016 Beta 2: ... - Online security plugin for Firefox is now signed and works in Firefox 42

For me it’s still not signed, see pic.

Thanks for the update. I finally successfully uninstalled previous beta and installed new beta.
Four lockups today. Even while uninstalling.

I hope this beta3 solve the lockup issue…

Where are the links to the offline installer? ???
I prefer the full installer. No full installer, no download. ???

Hi. We are testing new mechanism in online installers.

Personally I find on-line installers (not specifically for beta builds):

much slower than downloading the full off-line installer on fast broadband.
my major concern with on-line installers specifically is for installing a new AV, you are in effect on-line with no protection - if you do as is commonly recommended - as you have uninstalled your previous AV or you don’t have one.
if you haven’t gone for removal of your previous AV - now you are potentially in the conflict scenario - which could lead to a failed or corrupt installation.

@NON

Since you have the same freeze / lock up problem as me (btw not fixed for me in 2236), does your avast service also terminate every time you launch SafeZone Browser or try to turn on Pay mode?

That same problem also holds true when you remove Avast and it takes to the internet for a survey ???
No protection so I’ll throw you out to the wolves! Not a Good Idea.
The online survey should happen before the removal not after.

As far as I saw, AvastSvc.exe is running fine while launching SafeZone Browser.
I don’t know about Pay Mode, because I can’t see task-manager while Pay Mode is On.

My lockup often happens just after resuming from stand-by, but not limited to that situation.
Tonight I’ll make my computer sleep as usual, let’s see what happens next morning… :

I get white screen when run uninstaller. It’s maybe localization error?

Issues with extension and passwords

#. Extension is not signed for firefox 41.0.2
#. The passwords option freezes the whole avast window.
#. No option to Import passwords from other password managers.
#. Still need work to be done in the passwords section.
#. Network Scan. Shows Issues but no mention about what the issue is nor a fix.

I find this forum topic from 2011 and I think it would be great if avast team refresh this list for better pay mode working in safezone browser.

For example, hungarian otp bank website not recognized. (https://www.otpbank.hu)

Topic: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=83592.0

List: http://public.avast.com/~kurtin/banks/

What do you think?

Even the Security Line works well.

How is this possible?

I rather doubt that they would divulge this in any detail as it would probably be business in confidence. And possibly give others ideas.

Shows this when manually checking for Program update always on Beta 3, on XP Laptop SP3 System, and also Windows 10 Desktop build 10240, hit the free one, and then it says Already up to date…Happens the most when right click tray Icon, and select Program update

Hi Martin, and Avast ( Beta ) Team

I am sorry I was not active the last few weeks, but I will pick up Beta testing ( again ) the upcomming weekend.

Greetz, Red.

system · 2015-10-22T08:55:33.000Z

Beta 3 is still working really well for me under Windows 10. Apart from the network scanning bug which was fixed, I’ve had no other problems. I experienced a slowdown caused by Avast only once in the last two weeks (and I use my laptop for many hours a day, every day). The rest of the time, unless I’m running a scan, I never notice any slowdowns caused by Avast.

However, I no doubt will uninstall it soon, due to issue I’ve previously mentioned, where there is no option to add a detected file to the ignore list. I guess for most people, this will be no big deal. But, for me it’s a huge issue. It’s a shame, as apart from this, in my opinion Avast is brilliant.
