The installation should have realized that I’m using the stand alone version of Secure Line
and should have bypassed the installation of that module. Thanks

Still present, even after a clean install of the latest version.

Just gotta say I like the way the WiFi module has progressed, visually and performance. :slight_smile:

Hello,

installation file contains also Avast secure browser, but it must be unchecked before express/custom installation. It should be untickable under custom installation.

14

Any fix for the problem of not being able to create a rescue drive that many people have reported?

15

This has been fixed a while ago, afaik.

16

Just tested it.

Is it just me or does everyone have this issue. After updating to the latest build, I can’t enable the site blocking feature on the web shield. Whenever I set it to enable, it revert back to disable. FYI, I’m on Avast Premier + Win 10 april update 1803 (RS4) 64-bit.

Hi, just tested it and can confirm the issue.

Thank you. It make me sure that it’s not human error, I hope it will be fixed soon.
