Hi everyone,
new beta version 19.1.2358 (build 19.1.4133) is released.
We would like to ask you for feedback to some changes we made. Please focus on these:
- Exceptions - let us know if they work in your environment
- New online installer - test it as much as you can. It contains logic to install 19.1 according to OS (x86 or x64) and also 18.8 on systems with XP/Vista
What's new
- Online installer
- Global Exceptions only - we prefer to use just global exceptions that work for all shields and scans. So if you enter some file or folder it should be ignored for both shields and scans
- Redesigned global settings. There is a specific thread about new settings (report bugs, suggest improvements, discuss, hate, whatever ;-) - https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=221665.0
What was fixed
- Dialog about requested restart is displayed after manual update
- Smart Scan - bad browser add-ons are detected on x64 systems
- Data Shredder works also on x64 systems
- Do Not Disturb mode does now starts for full-screen Windows Store Apps
- And some boring crashes
Known issues
- There is no update progress visible in UI
- Unidentified network toaster can be sometimes displayed

Are full - offline - installers no longer available?
-
Thanks for the new beta. :)
After updating, keyboard was behaving badly (it looked like Shift key was always considered pushed) but a reboot seems to solve it.
And it seems this beta brings AV process sandboxing feature into Avast... will see what happens.

Yes as usual, but this time we ask you to use those online ones ;-)

Confirmed. :) Wonder why it isn't mentioned in the changelog..??

it's still to much experimental, not official yet and won't be part of next stable release
