Clean install: everything work fine, except two things:

in passwords manager when show password and show password history it’s ask for my master password every time

Zeniit

Hi Zeniit,
thank you for feedback. We ask for the password again for security reasons. I understand that it can be annoying, but how often do you want to see the password. In this approach nobody can steal your password from UI.

On mine Chrome is opt in ?

Strangely I got offered it (well not offered as such opt-out) in the 11.1.2239 build - but I didn’t even get the after reboot screen on the 11.1.2240 update.

Since the last upgrade, Avast Firewall is not working for me.

Repair Avast:

Control Panel → Add/Remove programs → Avast

Click on ‘Repair’.

Follow instructions.

Reboot.

Problem solved. Thank you very much!

You’re welcome.

I have a feeling that the final version of Avast 2016 will be released in the last week of November or early December

Found a little typo, should be fixed, see attachment.
It should say ‘Virus definition is out of date’

And for god sake, can you people stop resetting the damn System Restore to 3% all the freaking time!? Jesus. :

Hmmm, Petr said he would fix it… :-\

pk post:12:

Avast uses System Protection feature for NG in older Avast version. We resized system protection up to 25-50% and let OS to manage it. Then we developed our own solution and we reset it back to 3% for all users. I’ll fix the code to do that only for users with 25%+. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

YLAP · 2015-11-01T10:09:17.000Z

OMG, only now I’ve noticed it. System restore is at 3 percent and all restore points deleted

RejZoR · 2015-11-01T11:41:19.000Z

This nonsense HAS TO STOP. The only time System Restore might save you from lengthy problem solving and avast! creates one by carelessly deleting restore points and forcing it to 3%.

essexboy · 2015-11-01T12:19:44.000Z

Do not have that problem on windows 10 as restore is turned off by default

Hi. We investigated your problem and there is no possibility to delete system restore points by any software (not even avast). Restore points are just hidden, You need to check “Show more restore points”.

3% was set by NG and should be fixed in Release.

Even with Windows 10 64bit? Your interface loooks like Windows 7 with Basic theme…

If you set the store size to a lower number than it previously was, the older restore points that don’t fit in anymore get deleted automatically. If the number was significantly higher than 3% previously, you can lose a lot of restore points.

Also, why the hell I can’t even use Browser Protection plugin in Firefox 42 64bit (it’s officially released now)? It just doesn’t even offer me to add it and there is no way in adding it myself. Checked the folder in avast! and there are jjust bunch files that I can’t actualyl connect to the browser itself manually.

I’m not even sure if avast supports firefox 64 bit yet - are you getting its traffic monitored by the web shield ?

RejZoR · 2015-11-02T19:17:05.000Z

Everything works EXACTLY the same on 64bit version as it does in 32bit version. Except avast! browser protection plugin. And this is the exact reason why I hate 3rd party injected plugins. They never work, constantly break when they do and are just so annoying that I get fed up with them and remove them entirely.
