Has the known bug of the Avast UI automatically opening once a scheduled scan finishes been fixed? Avast technical support has said this is a known bug, but there hasn't been any solutions in last few releases.

I am running Windows 7 x64 with Avast 2015.10.2.2014

That bug isn't with the current (stable) release.

:'(Mainland China can update virus library right.


That as far as I'm aware has nothing to do with avast, but the great china firewall ???

So a program update wouldn't change that.

EDIT As in the other reply you got posting the same question (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=167184.msg1196111#msg1196111 (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=167184.msg1196111#msg1196111)) - please don't post duplicates it just duplicates the work for those trying to help.

It rather depends on your settings and and you don't mention that.

The AVAST 2015.10.2.2215 R2 RC2 SP1 build is a beta and you should only receive this if you had previously taken part in the beta testing program.

When you open avast main interface, the process will add a avastui.exe. Fresh install this version, when you open the installation interface, a slight phenomenon of suspended animation.
win7,32 bit Ultimate.
Try the online version of avast, when open DNS security features, in China you can update the virus database and program.

In the course of using the browser, right-tray icon to close protection, will cause the computer to blue screen. Confirm the installation of the Web Shield component caused. Remove Web Shield, right tray icon close protection, normal.
Installing this version, does not restart, component installation file protection, web protection, virtual machine. Other unchecked. After opening the main interface, win7 Task Manager has two avastui.exe.
Blue screen after restart, remove the web protection, open the main interface again, only one avastui.exe.

Please fix the blue screen as soon as possible to bring Web Shield in the 2214 edition to the problem mentioned times.

Hi there,
I encountered
 serious problem.
I am blind and using Avast! with screen readers. I can open settings, but, when I want to go to the next settings tab with ctrl+tab, ctrl+shift+tab, or left and right arrows, UI crash, disapeer without any error.
I reported it on feedback.avast.com, but, when I now want to go to feedback.avast.com, it redirects me to forum...
Dont know why.

Has this bug that I have found https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=167408.0 been fixed in this version. Couple of weeks ago, I have sent a support package to Avast via the avastsupport.exe

I must say I never test a Beta or RC on this Dutch Vista system, but still I got a message to update my AVAST 2015.10.2.2214 final to AVAST 2015.10.2.2215 R2 RC2 SP1
I admit I did a test with 2015.10.2.2214 RC on my other Windows 8.1 test system.

Note I use in Vista and Windows 8.1 the same account and I think that's the problem.

Tell me if you need more info to repair this "bug"

This isn't a beta build as it has now been released to the regular update servers.
