Thank you soooo much
Atleast it finally opens fast

Over the top installation (update with offline installer) of Avast Free and there is no welcome screen.
Also, installed version is 18.3.2333.
-
Thanks for the new release :)
-
The restore tab at the virus Chest gets my files deleted .

My current issue still hasn't been resolved and still waiting for Avast https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=217162.0 (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=217162.0)

Time for an update. :)

Thank you soooo much
Atleast it finally opens fast
we continue working on other improvements to load even faster. from the first number the improvement is approx 30% faster

What's new:
- Avast now opens even faster
Updated. If it is faster (talking about UI load times) it is barely noticeable, IMHO :) I have not noticed the the improvement of approx 30% :)
-
I'm not in the habit of timing GUI opening, however the UI on my OS's does open smoother and appears somewhat faster. :)
-
I too am not in the habit of sitting at my computer with a stop watch, however this 18.3.2333 UI does load noticeably quicker without the requirement of a stopwatch. This was on my general test system, XP Pro SP3 Desktop
That said, I did break out my stopwatch, used on my morning exercise:
I did a test on loading the existing UI with all of the normal programs I would have loaded/running before update, that took 6.03 seconds.
I then completed the update including the update and once things had settled down ran the test again, this took 3.64 seconds. This was with negligible programs running (startups only) so no additional load.
Now I loaded those programs I use regularly and started the UI again, no difference really loaded in 3.59 seconds. I may have been a little quicker on the buttons this time as the first ones caught me out a little.
-
As I said, for me the UI loads faster than in the last release.

https://youtu.be/PNXK75FnybY (https://youtu.be/PNXK75FnybY)
-
Looks like the duration of the scan (incorrectly reported as a few seconds) in Scan History has been resolved. I ran a Quick Scan and timed it at 3 minutes and 2.47 seconds. The scan History reported it as 3 minutes for 22253 files in 5742 folders for 7.8GB of data.
EDIT: Interestingly scan details prior to this update are now reporting what would appear to be actual times and not the 'a few seconds' text they previously displayed.
-
A good stable release which hasn't seemed to introduce any new bugs. The UI opening is a bit faster than before but can still be significantly improved.
More works needs to be done to:
- fix the delay of Avast notification alerts and the sound. Currently, the sound comes first and then the notification alert later... they should be in sync.
- add useful stats to the Scan UI
- start planning to bring the stats back for the shields
-

- start planning to bring the stats back for the shields
I though Avast had already said that the Stats wouldn't be coming back ?
-
Did the update using the full offline installer on both machines and it went well. But on my old Dell Dimension 8200 P4 1.6Ghz 2GB RAM with XP PRO SP3 it does take a little while to put the Avast Icon in the System Tray ... It loads much faster on my Toshiaba Laptop with Windows 10 Home 64 Build 1709 (that machine has Celeron B830 at 1.8GHZ & 4GB RAM)

EMAIL SIGNATURE Back to the old style??
Hi All,
Compliments on this version. All working better and firewall now working with IPV6 emails. After doing this update I noticed my email signature (notes) are that if the old style . . .
Avast logo
This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.
rather than the new look . . .
Virus-free. www.avast.com
Not an issue, just wondering if the new signature design can be restored.
ALSO, any chance we can add a pause for scanning and option to shut down, sleep and turn off post a scan ??
Thank You

Patiently waiting for Windows 10 1803 Release, then so reinstalling Avast, planning on a Clean install of Spring Creators 1803, as was switching between Avast and Defender trying both to see which one i really liked on my newer system, decision made to stick with Avast, now just have to wait til 1803 fully released, then get it installed cleanly, and make sure system up to date, then update a few drivers, then reinstall Avast i think when done with that.
if that is proper way to do that, installing the Drivers first, then Avast once all that in before other 3rd party programs
-

Yes, installing drivers first is a good idea to avoid any compatibility issues / false-detections (not that I've experienced any), but at the same time you want to minimize your PC's exposure to activity without Avast protection up and running.

Confirmed, stats are history and won't come back.

I thought Avast meant the stats were not planned.
EDIT:
The stats will be coming back in the future but they are not currently planned yet - that doesn't mean they will not be coming back.
MartinZ has confirmed that to me "In future yes but not in 2 or 3 months" because there are other priorities at this moment of time.

Well, we've heard that (or similar) many times before. But OK, let's see... ;)

Right from the time we were told it was being removed for a revision/revamp some considerable time ago, we are talking years not months ago.
Personally I'm not particularly fond of stats (lies, damn lies and statistics) and one way or another won't lose any sleep over there non return. But if they say they will be back after a revision, I at least expect them to follow through on it.

+1
And if stats come back, make them useful.
Not picture book level.

don't worry the bugs are still there but well hidden ;-)
- fix the delay of Avast notification alerts and the sound. Currently, the sound comes first and then the notification alert later... they should be in sync.
working on it, hopefully next release
- add useful stats to the Scan UI
- start planning to bring the stats back for the shields
stats won't return earlier than Q3/Q4...focus is now on settings and licensing

Indeed, the stats have been removed for years (in June 2016, no?), Which does not prevent that they had to be postponed when avast would have a little time (one or two months).
You said it yourself that the return was planned for September 2016 at the time.

I also know that you have many times given your opinion on the disinterest of this tool, I think it is clear, but also know that there are other users who find an interest
As far as I'm concerned, I've been repeating myself since time, I found an interest in the 5 lines of avast analysis in real time, in a glance one's eye over we could see what was happening in the background (opening of files, third site annalised, ....)
-
Yes, having stats back would be useful.
- Did a clean install of 18.3.2333 AIS only to find avast disabled on reboot.
- Inserted license and avast activated.
- Went to GUI to run some features and several were missing.
See attached below for missing paid for features:
- Did a repair and no change.
- Did a change, confirmed features were ticked off, no change.
- Considered a system image backup to restore system to latest image
- Remembered a bug (this one has been in place for several years now) in SecureDNS/Real Site that required a system reboot with the internet connected to activate even when disabled.
- Rebooted to enable this feature.
I rebooted eight times before I successfully hit on this fix. :)
Hint: Seems an avast server is needed to validate features on install and this is done at first run very early in the system boot.
[EDIT:] Didn't say, but all six missing features were live and accessible after the last reboot while connected to the internet.
-
This version still causes DHCP NACK error in windows event manager/router. I described it in 18.2 thread.
-
Still getting "Behavior Shield Not Enabled" on the XP PRO SP3 computer ... Happened a couple of times so far, since the latest version of Avast Free was installed. No issues on the Windows 10 Home 64 bit computer.
-
update went fine keep up the good work, updated throught the gui. and yes the gui loads faster now i can add :D
-
- Avast now opens even faster
here I see better than previous version but need maybe next update version will be faster not delay ;D
-
Why when I update Avast my CCleaner was also automatically updated to v5.41 >:( I haven't Software Updater extension

Hello,
When installing the program, I selected the following component:security browser extension.
After installation, I can not see it in the Chrome browser add-ons.
I should see the following in the extensions:Avast Online Security?
What is the reason why the plugin is not installed yet?
Regards
-
yes it should install Avast Online Security to Chrome, but you still need to activate it in Chrome..(Google rules)..if you open the CHrome extensions page it's not there?
-
If it's not listed in Chrome,
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1523014617813-57350.png)
you can manually install it from the Chrome store,

I'm running Avast free, and updated from 17.9.2322 to 18.3.2333 via the GUI. Now the system tray icon is animated all the time, slowly changing from the original blob to a circle and back again, without any scan running. Is this the way it's supposed to be, does it mean anything?

Previously it should only be animated when real-time scanning (file system shield, web shield,etc.) is in progress and not for on-demand scans.
Now it would appear that it may also animate when on-demand scans are running and also when you do a Windows Explorer context menu scan (right click on a folder). I also tested some other on-demand scans, Targeted Scan (Folder Select) and the Smart Scan, both animated the tray icon..
So if you aren't running an on-demand then it is likely one of the real-time shields is scanning activity.

The icon is animated without any browser started, and I'm not running any scan.

I'm not seeing that on my system with avast free 18.3.2333 (minimal installation) when I'm not running a scan and I have no other activity (like when compiling this post) the tray icon is inactive.
Do you have any other programs running that may be generating activity (check in task manager) ?

No other programs running (checked task manager). This behaviour started immediately after updating to latest version today.
By the way, I'm running Windows 7.
-
That's not normal behavior. Try the following: Repair Avast:
Control Panel> Program and Features (Add/remove program)>Select Avast> Select Repair. Reboot when completed
https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB204
If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
Clean Install of Avast:

Not sure why this might be so on your win7 system, my own win7 system is rarely used now (netbook, under powered, small screen and low resolution). It still has an old version of avast on it, but I will probably take the HDD out and retire it.
My win10 system laptop (good power and resources with SSD primary drive) still has 18.2.2328 and I'm holding back a bit on this one before updating.
So it is only my XP Pro desktop system which I'm happy to test with that has the latest version and no issues.
Some have found it might take a couple of restarts to get things running as they should (why is the question) or try an Avast Repair or clean install as suggested.

Taking my words back, not sure why it took some time after update ??? but UI is loading faster 8)

When I installed the program, I checked the spam protection.
However, it does not appear automatically between icons in Outlook 2016.
Outlok add-ons must manually enable the spam module.
In the previous avast version, it did not seem like this.
Maybe this is an avast program bug?

Ok so I did a clean install, and everything seemed ok at first, no animation when nothing was running.
But then i discovered under Settings/General that the "Animate icon when scanning" was unchecked, and I had it checked before. So I checked "Animate icon when scanning", and now everything is back to the same behaviour, the avast icon in the system tray is animated almost all the time, even when I'm not running a scan or any other activity. This was not the behaviour before updating to the latest version.
So I like to know:
- Can anyone else on 18.3.2333 with "Animate icon when scanning" checked confirm that you have or not have the same behaviour as I have? Or perhaps someone could just check "Animate icon when scanning" klick OK, and see if you get the same behaviour?
- Could it be that this behaviour actually is a feature, and because AVAST realtime scanning is on all the time the result is that the icon is animated all the time? If so, I could solve it by just unchecking "Animate icon when scanning"...
(I'm on Windows 7)
-
When is Avast going to fix the Behavior Shield not automatically enabling on XP PRO SP3 computers ? ?
It was doing fairly good with the last version of Avast Free, but it is not enabling with this new release.
I have to turn it on manually (it stays fine after that) .. Hope they can resolve this once and for all.

I've had my machine start with behaviour shield disabled twice since this update. I'm running Win 10 Fall Creators' .

GUI definitely loads much more quickly than it did before, good job.

1. There is error about missing "Avast browser setup checker" which blocks autorun of Windows after Welcome screen everytime ::). When I click OK, system starts up.
2. Avast icon doesn't animate in Win XP. In Win 8 it is.
I have Windows XP
-
Mine does not animate either in XP PRO SP3 or Windows 10 Home 64 systems. But I just looked at the options in Windows 10 and it is checked "animate when scanning"... so I guess only when it is doing a scan it will animate. Better that way. No need to see that idiotic icon going round and round taking up CPU time

Posted also here in Secure Browser section here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=218260.0 (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=218260.0)
UPDATE: Error 1638 is also reported at the same time as error 1603. Reported as a error pair. 26 errors reported for one day. System affected is a Toshiba Satellite L505 running Win 10 1709 64-bit. Also seems as if errors only come in when using standard account. Administrative account not affected.

I know. :) My post wasn't directed at you either. I just wanted to add my problem to the animate issue for those who may not have read the posts above. Perhaps that was unnecessary. And english is not my first language so maybe it did not came out the way I meant.

I can not install the update. Throught settings-update-update programm, the option to update is deactivated. When i download and run the installer, it starts and crashes after a while.

Silent update?
I have Avast 18.3.2333 build 18.3.3860.315

Generally they are Updates that can be done outside of the full program update function - this can occur either during the Virus Definitions (and engines) update or from the Emergency Update check function.

new verison of avast is triggering unsecapp.exe to run , this happen few years back too
This is on Windows 10 1703 build
-
meh just fiqure out why the cleaner that is "optional" install, that DID not have installed and have not had install cause I never used it and it start up that unsecap.exe which was INSTALLED with the update when IT wasnt installed to begin with.
This is the first update I had in years that installed a component I didnt have installed with an update.
The GUI is faster but it long cry from how it should be cause is should be pretty much instant all pc inducing ones with SSD

I managed to update the programm but the license still wont renew. What am i supposed to do? this is getting frustrating

Will you ever stop spamming users with 80% off notification? We all see it in console and popups, does it really have to be with detection notifications? This is really crappy design choice.

I learned a long time ago that you worry and attempt to fix a problem when you actually have one. :)
When there isn't any problem, I don't loos sleep wondering when the problem will return.
One lives loner that way. :)

Hi gents,
Here's something very odd to try. With this windows 10 latest feature update for april 2018. Since it makes that UI crash happen what I did was a couple of things but a minimum of this. Go to your avast installation folder should be C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast and in there is two exe files. AvastSvc.exe and AvastUI.exe. I right clicked on them and clicked on properties then clicked on the compatibility tab. Then I placed a checkmark on Run this in compatibility mode for WINDOWS 8 and also placed a check mark in run this as ADMINISTRATOR. I did that to both those files but also in conjunction with that you must have USER ACCOUNT CONTROL ENABLED<--very important (to find user account control settings for windows 10 go to start then go down to the gear and click on that to get into system settings then type in the top box user account control and it should bring up CHANGE USER ACCOUNT CONTROL SETTINGS and just make sure you turn that up to the one below the top setting.)So that way when you go to launch avast by default it will ask you if you want to allow this program to make changes to the system and simply tell it yes and it should run. This may or may not work. Its iffy. I didn't have to enable user account control on my laptop but two other computers in my house I had to. Try it and see if it helps. If need be maybe even change all exe files in the avast software folder to run in compatibility mode with windows 8 or even windows 7 also.

Sorry but that's nonsense.

one other thing I forgot to say too is when you do this...please reboot. Sorry its been a long day lol. If that doesn't help I'm sorry but what I did above is what I did to the machines in my house.

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs/programs and features, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change option and select Repair option and follow. This has in the past resolved this out of sync issue between reported and actual VPS version.

No problem, the Avast Repair function is quite useful and a relatively easy option to try first.

Something strange here (I think)
I have 3 systems with Windows 10 Home updated to 1803.
Two have version 18.3.2333 build 18.3.3860.316
The third one stays at version 18.3.2333 build 18.3.3860.0
I have already done 3 reboots at that third system.
I did a Avast Repair.
Alle three are up-to-date (180505-4)
Nothing helps.
Any ideas ?

Have you tried this:
Repair Avast:
Control Panel> Program and Features (Add/remove program)>Select Avast> Select Repair. Reboot when completed
https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB204 (https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB204)
If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
Clean Install of Avast:

Asyn isn't from 'Avast' but an Avast user just like yourself, Only those with 'Avast Team' in the profile info to the left of posts are from Avast.
I have the Win10 Spring Update 1803 (OS Build 17134.1) and Avast Version: 18.3.2333 and that is working just fine for me.

Just Re Clean Installed Windows 10 On my WIndows 10 Pro Desktop after Behavior Shield wouldn't turn on, before that UI Failed, is it safe to reinstall Avast, or am I better off sticking with Defender for the time being
Re Clean Installed the entire OS and all software due to software corruption, so if it's safe to reinstall Avast then will right after a few programs finish downloading/installing
Well may give a shot lol
Well issue remains on Behavior Shield not turning on with laptop that was Fresh started type refresh this morning, Hopefully the install goes well on Desktop if I try it for sure, if not I might just stay on Defender til i'm sure Avast gonna run right
