Title: Avast shields not active after restart.
Post by: Wizlon on August 18, 2018, 12:42:57 PM

Occasionally I use shield control to disable all shields until restart, however it never restarts after PC reboot. This has gone on for a while now, I figured I'd wait and see if an update would fix this, but so far nothing.

Is this a known bug? Is there a fix incoming?

Thanks dude, nice to know that it is a known issue, rather than it being at my end.

Oh and btw the forum verification graphic is awful, if it wasn't for the 'Listen to the letters' option I wouldn't be able to post, not sure if it opening vlc in order to play is all that great, but at least I can post...

It is an anti-spam measure and as such has to be hard/er to stop the spammers/bots, it is only for your first 3 posts.
