Microsoft have released an update for the Intel chip bug - however the update is only available for machines with compatible antivirus.
Is AVAST compatible?
info from MS:
Due to an issue with some versions of Anti-Virus software, this fix is only being made applicable to the machines where the Anti virus ISV has updated the ALLOW REGKEY. Contact your Anti-Virus AV to confirm that their software is compatible and have set the following REGKEY on the machine
Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"Subkey="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat"
Value Name="cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc"
Type="REG_DWORD”
Data="0x00000000”
-
Yes we are compatible, a microupdate was issued yesterday
-
That's great - thank you!
I don't seem to have the reg value though, what version of Avast Endpoint Protection includes the fix?
-
It should be present on all Avast 8 or later versions, what is your version?
-
Avast Endpoint Protection 8.0.1609
-
Yes we are compatible, a microupdate was issued yesterday
Should I restart my PC or not? Because I still don't see the aforementioned registry key.
My spec: win 10 pro x64, avast free antivirus 17.9.2322 (vps: 180104-0)
-
Still not present after mine has been restarted.

The problem is that your updater don't support microupdates at all, we will solve this ASAP
Edit by Lukor: only early versions of Avast 8 don't support microupdates (they support emergency-updates though and we'll deliver the patch by this channel), if you are running any version from recent years you should get the fix automatically

Hi Jack201, yes, you've got it.
-
Thanks for the quick reply! :)

mcorelan, can you please provide content of your "c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastEmUpdate.ini" file?
The contents of my AvastEmUpdate.ini is
[Config]
LastAppliedPatchId=378
Is that okay?
EDIT: I only realized another forum section lead me here and didn't pay attention that this is the Business Endpoint section. Sorry. Was not paying attention.

Hello. Need some assistance. I have not received the patch yet from Microsoft for the Spectre/Meltdown bug. I would love to check to make sure my Avast Free version has received the micro update.
I am running Windows 10 on an Intel i7-6700 CPU @ 4.00 GHz
This is what I have:
Avast free version: 17.9.2322
Avast Virus180104-2
AvastEmUpdate.ini
[Config]
LastAppliedPatchId=371
AvEmUpdate.ini
[Config]
LastAppliedPatchId=378
Not sure how to run this command from console:
AvEmUpdate.exe /debug
Let me know how to run this and I will get you this information.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
-
is that look ok?

I had to run the Update from the console and then it worked.
I hadn't the registry key.
Just run AvEmUpdate.exe /debug in command line, with admin privileges.
The registry key appeared just after that.

I'm also not seeing the registry key in my company yet.

Hi Theo@IC, your updater is too old, we have to deliver new emergency updater to Avast 8 first. Probably today.

Hi to all,
I've tried to do the update, but I can't reach it.
I launched AvEmUpdate.exe using console as admin, but I haven't the registry key yet.
I can't find AvEmUpdate.ini in Avast folder.
I'm on a laptop running Windows 10 x64, i7 6500-U.
I'm using Avast Free Antivirus 17.9.2322 (build 17.9.3761.0).

What should I do to update Avast and get MS Meltdown patch?
Thanks!
-
Hi Giuseppe135, you already have required registry key, now you need to wait for MS to deliver it, it is also possible that MS patch is not required for your PC at all, which is good, because it can cause slowdown.
-
Thank you! I did a Windows update check, but no update is available. Hopin' I don't need the fix!
-
Hello!
is my Avast ready to this MS patch?

Hi Giuseppe135, you already have required registry key, now you need to wait for MS to deliver it, it is also possible that MS patch is not required for your PC at all, which is good, because it can cause slowdown.
How are you able to tell if someone has the registration key?
If you say how then they can debug it themselves and tell ;)
-
It depends on how much AvEmUpdate.exe log output I get
if "Current update version" >= 324, then it is delivered
If log output doesn't contain "Current update version", I have to check last delivered CAB signarure for update version. Please note that LastAppliedPatchId is different value from "Current update version", and is not relevant.
-
ok.. it seems my main computer that I update avast all the time has Current update version 318
So how do I fix this?
-
Hi Bowdon, just wait, it will be delivered later
-
I have "current update version" as 324, but no Registry Key.
c:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast>LoadConfig START
Current version: 2322
Current update version: 324
Guid: 88e4dc3d-3156-4355-92b7-5ec907c7670c
Midex: 243685CB99C3F4F047A0D16E8D445477823ECBD4ADBB435B0698824F565369FE
GetSourceType START
...
Yet no registry key, as my Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion has a PushNotifications and a Reliabilty, but no QualityCompat between the two (search also fails to find any QualityCompat anywhere).
What can I do?
Alan
-
Hi alancurtis2, which registry tool did you use to validate it? If you are using 64bit OS and access registry using 32bit process, your registry view is 32bit.
-
regedit and regedit/v
from C:/Windows
I do have a 64bit OS.. is this the right regedit?
Alan
-
I have Current Update Version 324.
The registry setting was not there until I ran c:\program files\avast software\avast business\avastemupdate.exe /debug from an elevated command prompt.
Do I need to manually run this command on all desktops, or can it be pushed out?
Thanks
-
alancurtis2: Its tricky in case of regedit.exe. It depends on bitness of parent app, for example if you launch regedit.exe from 32bit Total Commander, you get 32bit regedit.exe. If you launch it from 64bit Total Commander or Explorer, you get native (64bit) regedit.exe. Just launch it from explorer (Win+R, type regedit.exe)

This is my Output from AvastEmUpdate.exe" /debug
Is the microupdate installed?
-
WIN+R and regedit.exe, and same registry... CurrentVersion has no Q's what so ever...
Alan
-
contl: Don't worry, it will be delivered within 12 hrs in case you have old Avast business 8
-
alancurtis2: It is very strange, updater would never increase update version without successfully modifying the registry key. Ar you absolutely sure, you are not looking under a Wow6432Node version of key: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows
-
Hi Theo@IC, your updater is too old, we have to deliver new emergency updater to Avast 8 first. Probably today.
Thanks, systems are now receiving the update and the registry key is appearing.
-
a.felger: Yes you are OK
-
I've attached a screen shot of my regedit window...
Looks to me like "never" has happened.
I've done several reboots, no change.
Any way to convince updater to re-run? Do I need to un/re-install Avast?
Alan
-
alancurtis2: It would be best to reinstall the product. There is a way to reinstall all updates, but it is manual process and error prone.
-
How do I know if I have an old Business 8?
I have Avast Small Office Administration
Program Version 1.3.3.112
Database Version 1450
Program Versions Delivered to Desktop
Program Version 8.0.1609
Version 180105-0
Thanks
-
contl: Program Version 8.0.1609 is "old Business 8"
-
How do I update the program? All automatic updates say "I'm up to date"?
Thanks
-
contl: You have latest version of this business product line. New business product line is more targeted on small business.
-
Ok, so bottom line is I should start seeing this update (reg setting) being pushed out in the next 12 hours or so?
Thank you
-
Uninstalled, rebooted, and now windows defender has set the flag... so we'll never know if reinstalling Avast would have fixed the problem.
And frankly I'm a tad hesitant to re-install the product, for fear of incompatibility somehow, given Avast wasn't setting the flag and we don't seem to know why...
Alan
-

My team has been on your help desk call for almost 2 hours trying to reach someone that can answer our questions regarding this issue. From what your reps have told us, you have disbanded your direct business support so we are having trouble speaking with someone.
Any suggestions on a number we can call to have some of these questions answered?

I have the registry key and Win 10 but am not getting the update, so did some research and turns out my CPU is not affected. The research took me to Intel's page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025619/software.html where there is information and a tool you can download and run to tell you if you need to patch. Also another page stated that Intel hoped to have fixes for 90% of processors by 12th January 2018. I hope this info helps.

Went looking for the Windows update for Melt down and spectre. I dont see it. I am running AVAST 17.9.2322(Build 17.9.3761.0) How do I know if I have had the AVAST registry entry applied ?
-
You can check the registry key as described here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4072699/january-3-2018-windows-security-updates-and-antivirus-software (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4072699/january-3-2018-windows-security-updates-and-antivirus-software)
Even if the registry key is present, you may not be offered the update. Don't know if that's caused by Avast or MS, but you can get it from the Microsoft Update Catalog here http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4056892 (http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4056892)

Same as Ttail above, also running AVAST 17.9.2322(Build 17.9.3761.0).
The registry key IS NOT present => what do we do ?
Tks in advance for you answer
-
how i known if my update of windows is compatible with the avast?
thanks
-
Here in Windows 10 1709 the key in de register is there and Ok.
Avast 7.9.2322 Free just updated to 7.9.3761.278.
But I still do not get KB4056892.
Also running Windows update troubleshooter did not help.
IntelSA00086DetectTool1.0.0.152 tells me I am still vulnerable !!
Do I have to wait for the next avast update ?

We can't see the registry key in my company.
We use Endpoint Protection Suite together with Small Office Administration.
Your computer with SOA uses a proxy to connect to the Internet. Updates are delivered to clients only from mirror (SOA). Updating from the Internet is prohibited.
SOA version: 1.3.3.112
Database version: 1450
Mirror or Client version: 8.0.1609
Virus Definitions Version: 180111-8
Version of file AvastEmUpdate.exe is still 10.2.1609.588 and does not change. Virus definitions have changed when I updated them over SOA, but not the program or its parts (such as AvastEmUpdate.exe).
We also use a computer where a standalone version of Avast Endpoint Protection Suite is installed. Registry changes are performed correctly after the update.
File AvastEmUpdate.exe was changed 5.1.2018 (current version 17.9.3761.0). Older version (10.2.1609.588) was backuped and saved as AvastEmUpdate.exe.bak.9913124109445268958.
This computer doesn't use a proxy to connect to the Internet.

Apologies for this newbie post but I'm a little lost as to which registry key to look for. I have Avast Free 17.9.2322 (build 17.9.3761.278). My system is Windows 10 (1709) and I have updated with the 2018-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4056892).

You have posted in the Avast for Business forum, it should be in the Avast Free Antivirus / Pro Antivirus / Internet Security/ Premier (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0) forum.
For speed the key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat however if you have been able to install KB4056892 you must have had the key. Also see https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=212691.0 (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=212691.0).

The key in the registry is fixed
BUT! clients of the WSUS do not see the update KB4056891. When I deleted the avast on the test PC. He immediately update on the WSUS began to download and install KB4056891.
Explain the reason? You write that the product Avast Endpoin protection 8 is compatible

I tested it issue on Windows 10 1709
got the same result
If the antivirus is installed, the update does not find. if the antivirus removes the update is find and installed
P.S. the key in the registry is present
P.P.S problem in the antivirus software! Please respond!

Dear fordiegolg,
welcome to the club, you're absolutely right that there seems to be a severe bug in this version (8.x and AEA).
We've already had the same problem like you with the mirror which should be fixed now i believe.
And we still have the same problem that no system can be patched anymore due to Microsoft's Meltdown requirements and
its registry key AND Avast.
Beside WSUS Online we're using the offline wsusscn2.cab in 3rd party applications or direct api calls with WUA, the online WSUS version is working for some cases but the offline one for absolutely NO system.
And you're right it's definitely the Avast scanner, registry keys are ok, you can disable the services and disable feature of the realtime scanner, nothing is working. Only the old non-flagged patches were recognized and installed.
Because Avast's business support is sadly blazing with abstraction since the merge with AVG we've opened a case at Microsoft Premier to probably narrow it down more in detail. Nevertheless you're right, if uninstalling Avast all is working without any problems - also for testing with other av vendors. Btw. we're still using it on about 1500 servers. Still waiting on the final results of the L2/L3 engineers of Microsoft support. Will get them probably today or at monday... (btw. all server operating systems are affected, not only the client versions..)

PC in my company does not have direct access to the Internet
The Internet receives through the proxy server squid
settings are taken from IE through wpad settings
antivirus is updated via mirror Avast Enterprise Administration 8.0.405
I give direct access to the Internet test PC
launched the file c:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast Business\AvastEmUpdate.exe
I noticed that there was a log in the folder c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastEmUpdate.ini
in him
[Config]
LastAppliedPatchId = 381
And in folder new two files c:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast Business\
AvastEmUpdate.exe.sum
AvastEmUpdate.exe.bak.10567838635595355225
In the folder new file c:\Program Files\Common Files\avast software\overseer\overseer.exe
I rebooted the PC
and checked the updates via WSUS and…… yes! Update is view!
I noticed that in the task scheduling there is a task to start AvastEmUpdate.exe automatically when you turn on the PC
I registered in the gateway direct access to the update servers avast (I will not post a list of networks here because I do not know if this is allowed)
two - three reboots and my PC view update KB4056892, KB4056891 and released after
Later I'll try to update my PC via WSUS
-
I was able to install patch KB4056892 via WSUS

In case your computers are not directly connected to the internet and Windows Update channel is therefore unavailable, you have to use other supported channel to get the hotfix. Also, depending on your OS version, the hotfix might not be available via Windows Update.
Please refer to January 2018 Windows operating system update schedule (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4073757/protect-your-windows-devices-against-spectre-meltdown) table for more information about available channels. Anyway the released hotfixes are always available via Catalog.

Hi,
strange thing, yesterday we've also found out the that proxies and the Avastemupdate.exe is one important problem.
It looks like that there were done some microcode updates or whatever else as add on to the registry entries and in our case
also the problem because we can't get any patches via wsus offline or wua api calls.
Today i've sent a high priority case to the emea support an our german sales manager to get further information about this process and/or a fix which we can deploy of our own because we can't open all connections for our 1500 servers only why Avast isn't able to work properly with proxies and so on.
@SeReB:
You're right that some special Microsoft updates are only available via the catalog server but that's not the general goal in this case. The problem is that we have or fordiegolg e.g. is that it worked without any problems with WSUS Online but NOT with WSUS offline or WUA api calls like many 3rd party vendors are using. For this case you need a fix to deploy the Avast's update manually, fix Avastemupdate.exe to use a proxy and the manin topic, inform at least business users about these hidden operations that costs a lot of time and money while contacting L2/L3 of other vendors like Microsoft Premier... >:(
Further on i've linked now your comments to the appropriate people of Avast which are responsible for us which sadly also didn't know these kind of information !
-
It looks like that there were done some microcode updates or whatever else as add on to the registry entries and in our case
There are two ways to have the MS hotfix required registry keys installed.
1) registry keys are created by emergency updates (avastemupdate.exe), but this requires a direct connection to Avast's update servers. There could be a delay up to 24 hours (update window interval), unless avastemupdate.exe is run manually. (Can use /debug parameter to see more information about the process.)
2) registry keys are created by regular virus definition updates of Endpoint Protection business products (which is the suitable way for machines behind mirror).
These two options' results are equivalent. Once the keys are present, all prerequisites of the hotfix are done, and we do not cooperate further neither (intentionally) interfere with the Windows update mechanism. I have personally tested the scenario with machines connected only to a mirror machine, and the hotfix was delivered and installed properly. Therefore I think the problem is not in a way how AV delivers the registry keys. As manually creating the registry keys does not solve the situation, it strengthens my suspicion the problem is not in AV, but in WU.
Therefore our support is going to reach out to you to provide more detailed information from the affected systems in order to find any reference of a problem in Windows/WU that could be accidentally caused by Avast AV, plus the option to allow the upgrade IPs.
-
This is not related to the keys in the registry.
the key was set when the avast was installed and stayed with the avast remove.
in all tests the key was present in the registry
without a micro patch obtained through avastemupdata update via WSUS or WU does not work
Avastemupdata should have derect access to the Internet because he can not update through the mirror AEA or other
PS
I'm talking about this key
Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"Subkey="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat"
Value Name="cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc"
Type="REG_DWORD”
Data="0x00000000”
>>>Avast isn't able to work properly with proxies
This is true. New bug in windows 1709 https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=215594.0
-
Fordiegolg that's absolutely right. The main problem is that a lot of versions and/or components of Avast's software are not proxy capable.
As mentioned before and as the Avast guys already know the emergency updater is one part of it, but at least in our case the regular vps pattern updates didn't set ALL of these registry settings and therefore we've fighted against this problem up to yesterday afternoon. For me it looks like that the mirror fix automatically applied at end of january has a bug. The general MS/Meltdown key was set that's right, but NOT the QualitCompat key on the ASWVMM section.
>HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\aswVmm\Parameters\QualityCompat - Reg_Dword "1"<
And in our case this was the problem. We've fixed it now as a workaround while deploying a script on all 1500 machines. (but btw. it don't solve the problem for similar updates for the future). Therefore i've contacted the business support again for a real solution...
Sorry guys the main problem is definitely in AV and NOT in WU...
Only one strange side effect was existing before, yes we had sometime troubles with the old wsus offline cab, direct connection to the internet and those 2 keys and therefore investigation was also difficult for us because for a short time it was a combination of three factors. But with the newest WSUS offline cab these symptoms are gone for sure. (i'm still waiting on a feedback of the L2 MS Premier engineer due to this problem, probably he could gave me some information about that)
But 95% of the problem was forced due to the missing ASWVMM key...
-
This is not related to the keys in the registry.
Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to say in the previous comment. The problem is not related to the registry keys. The updates deliver just the keys, nothing else. It is true, that the update through avastemupdate does set the aswVmm\parameters\QualityCompat key, while the VPS update does not.
without a micro patch obtained through avastemupdata update via WSUS or WU does not work
There is no micro patch applied. The avastemupdate utility upgrades itself first, then the new one applies the registry keys. Nothing else is patched.
That is why more debug data from your WU/WSUS configuration was requested, so it would show us why the update is not offered.
>HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\aswVmm\Parameters\QualityCompat - Reg_Dword "1"<
And in our case this was the problem.
This is Avast's registry key. You should not set the value manually. If you have added it manually, check also, that you have OtherVMMs key present, otherwise you might get BSOD after restart!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\aswVmm\parameters]
"OtherVMMs"=hex(7):61,00,76,00,67,00,76,00,6d,00,6d,00,00,00,61,00,73,00,77,00,\
76,00,6d,00,6d,00,00,00,00,00
"QualityCompat"=dword:00000001
I will get back as soon as I know more what the key is meant for.
-
????
Yes you're right that it is Avast's key, but it is the key that was automatically set by your AVASTEMUPDATE.exe on a system that is working. So what ?
The "OtherVMMs" key you've mentioned is on ALL systems REG_MULTI_SZ with value data "avgvmm aswvmm" !!??
There's on NO system the key with your values. (also where avastemupdate worked and had direct internet access)
Btw. we are working with AVAST Enterprise Protection Suite AEA 8.0.405 and a managed client 8.0.1609 on 1500 SERVERS, i'm not sure whether we are talking about the same product.
At the moment i've set the same key as it was on the machines that are working. If you really still believe that your key is missing?, please explain why it is on none of the systems that were updated automatically ?...
-
And again..
I've found the next bug or better reason why your emergency updates sometimes didn't work in real life.
In my case i'm also working with a 10 user EPS for my own beside our 1500 license in our company. Today i wasn't able to update at least one of my system anymore(in this case a windows 8.1). What a surprise, the aswvmm key was missing again. Tried to set it, didn't work.
Not while using UAC but while using "self defense" of Avast. Deactivated it and could set the key manually again, set self defense again. Restarted the machine and what a surprise. Updates are working again without any problems, rebooted my machine. Still no BSOD....
While doing the work that Avast should do....
Why isn't Avast able after 5 weeks to fix all of these Meltdown related bugs in EPS and whereever ?
-
If you really still believe that your key is missing?, please explain why it is on none of the systems that were updated automatically ?...
Why isn't Avast able after 5 weeks to fix all of these Meltdown related bugs in EPS and whereever ?
I have requested the details about the extra registry key and because the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat key can be written by any software and not by the possibly incompatible AV software, Microsoft has requested additional vendor-specific requirements for certain AV versions in order to consider AntiVirus software compatible. Unfortunately we were not aware of that requirement being applied also to SOA/EP.
We are going to release a VPS update that is going to add the required QualityCompat=1 key and will enable the machines behind a mirror to receive the MS hotfix. We are very sorry for the delay in the MS hotfix delivery.

Perfect news!
