Version: 17.9.2322

So now we have a Beta and a Final version with the same version#
It’s OK for things to be broken in the Beta version.
It isn’t OK in the Final version. :o

Updated & working. Thanks!g

Fixed ... - Clicking Scan Details in the Notification Center no longer starts another scan ...
no fixed anymore for me.

always starts a new scan when clicking on “détails” tab.

I received a notice that an update was ready to download. I executed it everything was ok until I used the new cleanup app within the program. I followed the instructions and it did its thing. It restarted and I logged back in to my computer. I went to my passwords to log into another account I had. I hit the website and a loading circle came up and just keep going. I was unable to connect to the web page. I called avast and got nowhere. They were rude at the support center and told me I had to pay them to fix the problem. I explained to them I didn’t cause the problem you did. I asked them to just undo the update and I’ll start over. I just need my passwords to work that’s all. Could you please help

   Thanks beaucap

I now have two versions of AvastUI.exe running at all times and a third one if I open the application, it used to only be one all the time and two if I opened the application is something causing this second one?

Edit: So I see you mentioned it as a thing now and say it’s okay, but why is it okay? Why does it need to be split off into two processes?

Same here. I don’t like this version. It is buggy.

Yeah another poster mentioned that it may suddenly pop up to the center of the screen as a blank page, that seems alarming.

Smart Scan is most used because Avast made it the only scan available on the main screen. If I wanted another scan, say Full Scan, on the main screen, I can’t change it.

This is like having elections, having only one candidate, and then proclaim that most votes went to that candidate. Well duh.

this version seems better and fix the prev 17.8 problems,
windows defender security center now show the avast status,
streaming seems to be normal now

I also have this

spam add on crashes outlook 2016 since this update

I don’t like this new version. Wish I hadn’t up dated. Takes quick scan a long time to scan.

Same. It’s since November that I have the new GUI for protection and scanning.

Seems that if you allow internet access for AvastUI.exe, the popup doesn’t appear.

Now the questions are…

  • Why should I grant internet access to this process, which has never needed it before?
  • What is Avast actually trying to display in this blank window?
  • How was this mysterious white UI bug solved by adding multiple processes of AvastUI.exe, which now has resulted in more memory usage?

This is a very annoying regression, and it needs to be addressed ASAP!

You stated that you aren’t using Avast any more ???

  1. The UI has its own update channel now so you are disabling UI updates. On top of that, the internet is used (CEF) to display some features and content of the UI.
  2. It’s either trying to display the UI content or an ad, hard to tell without you giving more info.
  3. The Avast UI now uses some aspects of Chronium if I remember correctly and multiple processes of Avast UI is normal. They processes will stop themselves.
    It may be some empty/hidden window. Those processes are being closed after some time, when no response from IPM or there occurs error.

Why are you blocking anti-virus processes? Feel free to create a thread on this because this will get lost in this topic.

Same here.

The tray icon not animating is a known bug of this stable release.
