My defs are (at the moment) up to date, 100725-1, and I’m pretty sure what I’ll describe was with the previous version active, probably this morning’s (100725-0 ).
For a while early this afternoon ET, if I clicked on “open … interface” from the tooltray-icon menu, it took a long time for the avast interface to appear, probably the better part of two minutes. Going on line and doing a repair didn’t help any, nor did a reboot … once it finally did open, neither avast (full scan, including default archives) nor SAS nor MBAM (free versions in both cases, quick scans) found any problems.
Whatever it was now seems to be cleaned up so the interface now opens properly. Did anyone else run into this today, and was it maybe a glitch in the “engine” part of 100725-0 corrected in the later -1 update?
Thank you for the comments; I haven’t seen any other tickets as yet through the support system reporting this, but I will keep my eye out for any; I can then collate them together to see if we can get a better idea of the cause of this, or whether it was just a simple glitch.
Some people have reported on the forum that 1) the GUI with .594 is slow to change in between clicking within the GUI, and 2) if you leave the GUI on a particular page it returns to that page instead of the Summary/Main page. I believe Vlk mentioned that #2 was being fixed with the next upgrade, but perhaps you can look into this to confirm. Thanks.
@YoKenny You assume that it has always been slow. If you bother to read the post, Mike says that the problem was there for a brief time and now seems to be fixed.
YoKenny, you seem to have a hangup of some kind about my RAM, seems like every time I post about a problem you’re sure my relatively low 256K is at least partly to blame. But I’m not into streaming video or audio, and everything else on the system works just fine.
This system’s about 7 years old, and probably hasn’t too much longer to go. And when it does come time to replace it, assuming (as appears quite likely) that history repeats itself, I’ll probably wind up with much more computer for no more than I paid for this one. The timing will probably work out just about right for the end of support for XP SP3, and I do know darned well I’ll need considerably more computer for Win 7 (or whatever the standard OS for new systems is by then). In the meantime, what I’ve got works fine for me, and nearly everyone else agrees that that’s the best working definition of how much a user needs.
Best,
Mike
Oops, almost forgot – thanks, Adam, for the “informal ticket” on the posted problem, although it looks like it’s already been corrected, possibly by the next def update.
