Hi all,
we just released new beta AVG 17.1.3005. We are getting closer to the final release, so there should be much less bugs than in previous betas.
If you have previous AVG Beta installed, then you can use the in-product update(Menu->Settings->Update). No need to install again. Or it will also update automatically in few hours if you kept the Program update settings on "Auto"
What's new:
- Software Analyzer (IDP) now works also on Windows XP
- Quarantine is now fully working
- Exclusions should work as usual
Known issues:
- accessing Data Safe with correct password sometimes does not work via shortcut
- crashes of the explorer.exe caused by shell extension (scanning and/or shredding)

- You might see issue from ZEN You won't be fully protected until you restart your PC For this case log into ZEN account/create a new one and log in. You should get updated trial license. Unfortunately the message requiring restart will still remain hidden in ZEN.
-
What if you don't want to sign into Zen? The context menu crashing is a bit annoying to be slipped through even into beta release...
-
hi, installed new beta, went well, and running well thankfully, :)
-
Seems that you have messed up the function for one of the buttons in the Quarantine. Selecting a file with a checkbox and then clicking the "Scan" button actually restores the file to the original location. ???

Hi all
Any Infos for the multilanguage Version available when yes when will you release it

It looks coming up good But wont try it coz of "Zen".
Wish you remove "Zen".

I don't understand why Zen has to be a separate interface component. In fact I don't get the idea of these retarded "middleware" launchers at all. Why not create tabbed interface where Zen categories are on top and as you select each tab, individual components (like Antivirus, VPN or PC Cleanup etc) are directly visible below, instead of opening ANOTHER window.
I mean, how can you call something "Zen" when it's anything but that? It's clumsy, awkward, unnecessary middle step that doesn't calm me down, it just annoys me every bloody time I want to open the antivirus.
-
I thought the idea of a good interface was to keep the number of levels to a minimum, so options aren't buried.
-
And with launchers they go in the exact opposite direction...

That would be my impression, almost one step forward followed by one step back.

You have ads. If you want to promote AVG PC Tune up, use the ads. No need for PC tune up in the AVG Zen. You have the "Fix computer performance" button in AVG antivirus in the bottom right. If AVG PC tune up is installed, that button will open PC Tune up. If not, it will open a page to promote PC Tune up. Web Tune up is an extension/addon/toolbar, so no need for its own place in AVG Zen. Promote it during install as an optional component, and leave it available in the stores for those who want to install it. No need for a button in Zen, it can be opened from the browser. Integrate Hide My A** VPN like SecureLine in AVG. And voala, no need for Zen locally installed at all. Now create one web platform with just the names and logos and URLs different for Avast and AVG for remote management like Bitdefender Central and Avira Online Essentials, and let us run scans, change settings and see reports from the web console from any browser. Keep the option to keep AVG connected but without so called "admin Zen rights" so someone cannot change settings if we don't want to. The network techician has turned off my grandma's AV off. :o That's not a low amount of work, but leave it for after you have improved the protection. After all, AVG's users are used to the Zen from the last years and will be okay with Zen for the next 6-7 months till you get to make these changes. And Avast's users don't have Zen. All happy.

Again :P New beta 17.1.3006 seems to be available. Soon we'll get new topic ^_^

I'd be happy to see such a frequency with the Avast beta.

Well in essence avast will be far superior AVG considering it's not getting hardmode. But avast is getting both IDP and hardmode!
-
And avast! is also getting far nicer amoeba tray icon :D
-
Once CyberCapture gets to its full potential hardened mode will not be needed.

Once CyberCapture gets to its full potential hardened mode will not be needed.
Personally I believe they compliment each other and it is also protection in depth.
Hardened Mode Aggressive checks executables against the avast cloud database and will only allow white listed files to be run. It could also be a link to run CyberCapture if there is no record of the file hash.

The bug is still there in the officially released 17.1.3006!!! I understand you are in a hurry, but don't make such compromises.

After installing this version AVG scans endlessly. :(

Something is VERY wrong with AVG. I got a popup about a scan for junk, toolbars and other stuff. It only had X button and CLEAN button. And the X did nothing. So I clicked Clean thinking I'll cancel the scan right away. for long nothing happened and I clicked BACK arrow on the left and got back to main interface. And that's when weird stuff started happening. When clicking a gear icon for additional scans I just got some very cryptic error message on top with no scans at all.
What i messed up a bit unfortunately is that I've removed AVG already so I can't post any other details, other than what I just told here.
-
Now this is happening when I click gear icon (to access other scans) in AVG's main interface...
-
hi, i get the same error message as well, please help, :) thank you
-
Any Infos for the new Versions topic or any News for a separate Forum of AVG
Good question !
How is Avast going to support AVG releases ?
We (Uber) Evangelists have no clue as well !
Greetz, Red.

Go to Programs and Features and instead of uninstalling AVG, use REPAIR function. That, for some reason fixed the issue. Just not ure why it happened in the first place...

(http://i63.tinypic.com/2u7vpd0.jpg)

(http://i67.tinypic.com/33ngizs.jpg)
on the other hand where i can download the final version?
-

-
Though not sure why it got broken all by itself all of a sudden. This shouldn't be happening.

with avg IS beta 17.1.3006
why i got this error
1. 17.1.3006 is the final version, it is not beta.
2. You receive this error because it was a known bug in previous beta versions and Avast somehow decided to release the final version without fixing the bugs.
3. Try logging in into an AVG account, they said it was a workaround for the beta bug.

Mine also says beta but it is not.
Whilst I'm not using the AVG beta or release version, I may have some sort of explanation.
Some time ago the avast UI used to have Beta in the UI, we were told this was because we were on the beta testing stream. Having previously run the beta version, you would get the next beta version if one was released.
Users of the regular avast release version aren't offered the beta version, but those who did would be offered it as a program update.
So I just wonder if something like this is going on here.
A clean reinstall of AVG or Avast would normally take you off the beta stream, so you shouldn't see the Beta branding or be offered the beta.
-
I'm not sure, this bug with the not-protected in Zen but okay in AV was in the previous beta, they should have fixed it. It's a 1 percent chance that it is a new bug. I somehow feel like only AVG Zen is in beta now. I think i'll just thrash AVG because it's out of beta and move to Avast's one. ;D If it needs more testing i don't really care, they should have kept AVG in beta if that was the case.

I had the same error. Repair did not work. The only fix was to uninstall it and install Avast instead.

The AV is okay, just the Zen reports falsely that the AV has some issues.

I'll never use AVG because of Zen. That stupid thing totally pisses me off.
I don't know if it is possible to install AVG without Zen.

No that is not possible at all.

@Avast: So I am using my Windows 7 SP1 desktop computer (fully updated). I have AVG installed on this and it's the 2017 version and the one I have installed is version 17.1.3006 and in this avast forum it says 17.1.3005. Since Avast bought AVG why they completely have two different versions of AVG? Here is the beta and in the AVG website it's the final release?

They just haven't made a new topic for 17.1.3006 because it is not beta and this is beta forum. Every single AVG should now be automatically updated to 17.1.3006.

IS THERE ANY OFFLINE LINK TO THE FINAL RELEASE ?

If 17.1.3006 is a final release, there is something wrong.
Running update in version 16.141.7998 says everything is already up-to-date.

I got a question i have to ask:
Why we can use avast in Iran but can't use AVG because of boycott?
Please someone answer

This is most probably a bug with AVG 2017. AVG Online Shield don't show any popup or warning message if we visit a malicious page twice or more. For example suppose I am visiting microkool.com/Dropfile/index.php by mistake. This is a know phishing site and is in the database of every antivirus product including AVG and AVAST. Now if I visit the above mentioned website, AVG immediately tells threat has been detected and the connection to that site is aborted. The webpage still gets displayed in the background. Ideally it should be blocked before it gets displayed.
Not only this,again if we visit that website or any other phishing site (that is in the database of AVAST/AVG), AVG don't show any notification or warning. It only blocks the connection silently in the background giving the user an interpretation that the website is temporarily not available or there might be some problem with proxy or dns.
AVG shows notification again only if computer is restarted.
