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
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
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?
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.
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.
It’s either trying to display the UI content or an ad, hard to tell without you giving more info.
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.
