Title: Please could you tell me why and how??
Post by: REDACTED on October 29, 2014, 05:37:07 PM
Hi all,

I hope you are all well?

Please could someone please tell me why and how?

1. How can I find out if NG is working for me or not?
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

2 If Avast have done away with the Virus Definitions Pop-Up Toaster informing us that Avast has been updated, why is the show Pop-Up notification when the product has been updated when this feature has been done away with.?
I liked that feature of Avast very much the Pop-up notification telling me that the virus database has been updated.
PLEASE BRING THAT FEATURE BACK

3. Since I have installed FREE AVAST 2015 10.0.2206 FIREFOX keeps crashing why?
Never had this problem with AVAST 2014.
I have the latest FIREFOX installed, latest version is 33.0.2

Hope to hear from everyone that can help soon.

Check your hardware. It should support hardware visualization.

There is a known issue.

You're correct but if it shows, he knows it's working.

Yes, but if it is not show it doesn't mean his system isn't supporting it.

Correct again. I also didn't say or indicate that. :)

For verification of the NG environment you can run "ngtool.exe isready" in cmd
ngtool.exe is located here: c:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\ng\
