Hello,
what is new still running process aswEngSrv.exe ?
-
Everything is working fine! Good Work. ;)
Just one question i can´t see the new option to check the current version anywhere.
-
hello I found something in this new version after a clean install:
1/ unsecapp.exe is constantly running (since v19 was released) although Browser clean up tool is not installed (unsecapp is required for it to function according to avast dev long time ago)
2/ No PUP scan option in the new UI for File Shield or Core Shields. It's still available in the old UI though
It's also available exclusively in Virus Scans menu
3/ when choosing Hardened mode aggressive in the old UI, the hardened mode box in the new UI will be unchecked. It's only checked when HM is set to Moderate
4/ Warn when downloading files with poor reputation (web shield) is not functioning
thank you
Hi,
ad 2) see attached
ad 3) Hardened mode was in fact always moderate

I believe this was introduced somewhere around avast 18.6.xxxx as to avoid this on my XP system I had to go back as far as avast 18.5.xxxx and install that. You find the Behaviour shield does call for it to be loaded. To confirm that switch off the Behaviour Shield and reboot and see if the unsecapp.exe is still running. This is not a solution or a workaround, just confirmation of the shield responsible for running unsecapp.exe.
See my post https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=220639.msg1484900#msg1484900 and there are lots of other comments relating to unsecapp.exe running.
I'm still waiting for the update of 18.8.xxxx, the last version to support XP/Vista.
-
Well, it works well. That if we except the error of https by firefox, (because that error is still in this version).
It would be great without the error of https, but otherwise without problems. Let's see when that https disaster is fixed, now it's less protected for those of us who use firefox.
Well at least for the rest it works well. No problems for now.

Hi! Was the problem with 2 av launch components in start up fixed?

Old About Avast GUI has a different build number than does the newer GUI.
See attached below:
Which one is correct?

I think new one. :-\

Which one is correct?
Both, difference is that the new UI shows applied uupdates/hotfixes.
See changelog: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=224777.0
-
yes, that's correct. new one is also showing the last uupdate applied.

Update Avast Free 19.1 to 19.2 went well. I have to say I have not suffered the Firefox https issues blighting some users posting here.
On the downside. I see the useless, unwanted and unselectable Sensitive Data Scan is a fixed feature within Smart Scan. I assume complaints about this over past months and sucessive updates have fallen on deaf ears within Avast. Smart Scan is no more than a marketing teaser for paid components. I will continue to treat it as such and avoid.
Has the USB disk grabbing problem (unable to eject) been fixed in this version?
Edit/Addition:
Just had a look at Software Updater. GUI has changed and the big green arrow no longer appears if all up-to-date, which was a excellent visual cue. This is now replaced by button to do a Scan for Updates. But scan was performed to get here, bit confusing why this button is now here on the results page. See screenshot.

Please, for the love of all that is good an holy in this world, remove the @#$% pop ups within chrome web browser for the password extension. I mean seriously? I am browsing a page, and all of a sudden a new tab opens, pushing your password extension in chrome?
Spam-ware. I mean I get that I am using the free-ware at the moment but seriously? This only started after the latest program update. I did go in after and silenced alerts. I dont mind the pop-ups with the free version at all. This is overboard. Kill this shit.
I have been a loyal avast subscriber for over 15 years at this point.

There are settings in the geek area that can be used to change what is scanned by the Smart Scan.
Someone was asking about changing the Smart Scan in a different topic.
-
Updated to 192.2.2364 via GUI and rebooted.
So far so good.

Don't forget to save your settings if you've made changes.

I can find old settings but not geek area. Any clues?

I can find old settings but not geek area. Any clues?
Reaching the Avast "Geek" area
Open the Avast User Interface
Select > Menu > Settings> Search
Type the following into the Search window: geek:area
Now hit enter and close the Search Window
You are now seeing all the settings available in the "Geek Area"

bob, typing that in search gives no results.
Edit:
Works now after Repair and Reboot.

Geek:area does not have the same Action seetings as were in "old settings". e.g. Repair>Move to Chest> but do not delete.
Auto would do Repair>Move to Chest>Delete in that order.
Luckily "old settings" are still available (for now), but the crude choice of 1 action only and no action tree in geek:area is far inferior to what is(was) available in old settings. I do not see how it will be possible to replicate settings as above in geek:area gong forward.
As for Smart Scan components in geek:area, there is no tick box to select/deselect "Senstive Data scan".
Not surprised.

I installed an update on my free AVAST and am no not able to log on to my computer> Fortunately, I could still get in as "Guest", but have no access to my documents and other folders. As Administrator, I am unable to manage the control panel, or anything else requiring Administrator sign in.

I'd try rebooting the computer to see if that makes a difference

I've done that, no help.

What's the exact error message ???

The controls for setting up a scheduled scan are still missing in this version - 19.2.2364 (build 19.2.4186.404).
I tried the geek:area and old settings, but they are not there. I realize that I can create a custom scan on a schedule, but that's not the point. I want the old "scheduled scan" settings back for all scans.

The Release Notes on the first page of this topic are only showing http sources for offline versions of 19.2.2364. Usually the https "versions" can be found at https:/www.avast.com/installation-files, but so far only the prior version 19.1.4142 is available there. Will 19.2.2364 eventually be available via https there or somewhere else?

@Asyn, thank you for the reply. It took me a few minutes to figure out you had just edited those 2010 posts so I figured it was worth a chance to click on the appropriate entry, esp since I could recognize the English descriptions (thanks for that!). However, when the Save File confirmation window came up, it identified the file as "from: http://iavs9x.avg.u.avcdn.net" not "https:...", even though the link you provided started with "https:". Did I choose the wrong link??

You should be safe following the links.

I just installed the latest version, 19.1.2364, which I thought (hoped) would fix the ability to change the scan time set two versions ago.
The cog wheel and the time of that previously set scan no longer appears under "Full Virus Scan," but that time that I no longer want still remains, hidden, somewhere, The latest update did not remove any previously set scan times, nor is there an ability to change it or delete it that I can find.
I found that out tonight when I set a new custom scan to occur prior to midnight, only to have the set time from two versions ago kick in at 1:30 a.m. I thought no cog wheel and/or evidence of a previously set scan time meant any previously set time was gone so we can just set up a new custom scan.
I have looked through every possible option where scans are involved, and find no place that shows that previously set time, nor how to delete or change it. It is alive and well, but hidden somewhere out of view or clickable edit.
So right now, I had to delete the new (earlier) custom scan time so that I don't run two scans within two hours of each other.
So, back to the drawing board, please.
Can we just have the cog wheel back that shows the time when you hovered over it, but with the ability to click the time or the cog wheel so we can just change the set time of the scan that now seems to exist but is hidden away from view and edit?
Or if it is not somewhere editable under the SCAN section, can someone tell me where I can find the hidden set scan time previously set two versions ago so that I can change it, or delete it and then set up a new custom scan?
Thanks.

I recently updated to 19.2.2364. Ever since doing this, the install of Additional Boot Scan Definitions for a boot scan is now taking forever. It used to take about 1 minute, maybe 2 at the most. Now it takes 20-30 minutes or more. I believe the delay is on the Avast "cloud" side. I am seeing this on different PCs, all running Win10/Pro/64. There is nothing wrong with my LAN and my WAN download speeds approach 100mb/sec. Once the definitions finally download and install, all else works fine. If I'm right above, others should be seeing this.
Note to Avast: your verification text characters are often IMPOSSIBLE to read and your "listen to the letters" option doesn't work.

I am also waiting on a fix for the missing scheduled scan settings that used to be in prior versions. See https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=225096.msg1493722#msg1493722. I first noticed this issue in version 19.1.2360 and posted in that thread at the time. It seems that this new version still doesn't have the fix baked in.

This is the 2nd time my computer crashes when i download avast products. I have premium clean-up, VPN, online security....Had them installed a year ago, they were working well. When I bought “driver update” and installed it, my computer crashed. It cost me $200 to fix.
I tried to return all products, avast only refunded me for the latest (less than 30 days). That was 3 or 4 months back. I wasn’t happy and didn’t re-download any avast products on my computer.
Last week I decided to reinstall all products and my computer crashed again so I'm done with avast. No more!
ALSO NOTE THAT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT TEAM SUCK – THEY ARE BOTH SUCH A WASTE OF TIME – I SPENT HOURS WITH THEM OVER THE PHONE, THEY COULDN’T TELL WHAT'S THE ISSUE. AVAST IS AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY AND YOU GUYS DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS – ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS MAKING MONEY – SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the new version on a Windows 10 64 bit machine. I can open the interface, go to the protection section but the only scan I can run is the Smartscan. I can configure a custom scan but not save it or ececute the scan. What is the trick to executing a scan other than the Smartscan?

Thanks for the response. I had tried that before and just to be sure just took those steps again. Nothing changed. Each screen for setting up or selecting scans looks appropriate but I do not see anything to click or check to actually execute a scan. For instance when creating a custom scan I can select any of the options involved but the scan is not saved or if I set a specific date and time the scan does not run, nor is the named custom scan saved for future use.
-
I am not happy with the new changes that were supposed to be minor bug fixes. I can't schedule full scan every other day like I was able to before. I can't go to full scan without setting up a custom scan every time. I went to Avast from other anti-virus that didn't work for me after an update. I can do it again. Put Avast back to the way it was.

For instance when creating a custom scan I can select any of the options involved but the scan is not saved or if I set a specific date and time the scan does not run, nor is the named custom scan saved for future use.
I've had the same problem. I've resolved going to Uninstall programs and insted of choosing Uninstall, I've chosen Repair.
Hope it works for you.

I am not happy with the new changes that were supposed to be minor bug fixes. I can't schedule full scan every other day like I was able to before. I can't go to full scan without setting up a custom scan every time. I went to Avast from other anti-virus that didn't work for me after an update. I can do it again. Put Avast back to the way it was.
The other option is to get used to the new settings. You do that for your Operating System and many other things.
You can currently select the Custom Scan which by default starts with the same settings as the Full Virus Scan.
The Custom Scan can be scheduled just as you want.

I have the new version on a Windows 10 64 bit machine. I can open the interface, go to the protection section but the only scan I can run is the Smartscan. I can configure a custom scan but not save it or ececute the scan. What is the trick to executing a scan other than the Smartscan?
Repair Avast:
1. Avast GUI -> Settings -> Troubleshooting
2. Click on 'REPAIR APP'.
3. Follow instructions.
4. Reboot.

(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1550002098702-30409.png)After the current Windows 10 v.1809 monthly update,
the behavior shield in Avast did not start.
It was only because the Defender Icon showed a problem with my AV,
that I was aware of the problem.
There was no indication in the Avast system tray icon of the shield not running.
This should be checked.

I took note, and am unable to confirm on my envy W10 with Premier on bc (just updated)
No issue with BS on this OS and Avast installation Bob.
Possibly just a glitch from something :-\
My other W10 is updating the same as I write. See if the Windows Update affects the Avast Installation on that OS> :)
Edit: Windows update completed/rebooted and checked. No issue with the BS on either W10 OS

A glitch is always possible. I've done another restart and didn't have the problem again.
@ -Midnight, what problems ??? I had a glitch which resolved itself. :)

I am not sure what the problem was but I reset my SETTINGS in the AVAST UI and now I get the scan options I have been.

I think I found the solution after WAY TOO MUCH time on this problem, which should not have been a problem to begin with.
If you hover over "Run Smart Scan" under "Custom Scan," to the far right are three vertical dots. Left click on those dots for a pull-down menu and select Settings.
From there, you can change the "scan name" to whatever you want it to be.
Then click on "scan type" and select "Full Virus Scan."
Set your frequency and time, and any of the other options to your preference.
Click "Back" at the top left, and you should now have a full custom scan set up as a daily scan (or your frequency of choice).
To test if the "Smart Scan" would show up again as a relentless default, I disabled Avast by unchecking "Enable Self-Defense" and then ended the Avast process via Task Manager. I then restarted Avast, and my "Full Virus Scan" remained exactly as I set it up to be. I then re-enabled "Enable Self-Defense" again.
I have not rebooted my system (which I will do in the morning), to see if the settings stay put as I set them, or if that single "Full Virus Scan" custom scan reverts back to "Smart Scan" as a relentless default.
If it does revert back, I will post again. But for now, the full daily scan kicked in as it was supposed to, as I set it up an hour before the full virus scan time "I" wanted it to scan at.
FYI: If you check under the main window of "Virus Scans" while the scan is running, you will see that the Custom Scan to the far right is active while the scan is in progress. The "Full Virus Scan" option to the far left will not show activity as it used to be in previous versions.

What would you expect to find in a support forum.
Those who aren't having any problems are hardly going to register/logon to say they aren't having any problems. When there are many millions of avast users, with innumerable different programs/OSes/setups, then you are likely to see some issues.

Which sort of makes my point, you didn't have any problems and yet here you are (complaining about problems in the new version) not having updated to the latest version (the beta is closed).

@DavidR It might be closed but I'm still using it.

The only way to get off the beta version is to do a clean install.

Bob, under Custom Scan, there is initially a single default option that appears named "Run Smart Scan." That is the name input by the program of that one initial Custom Scan that the program sets up.
By selecting the settings for that single default CUSTOM SCAN (Run Smart Scan), various things can be changed to become a Full Virus Scan, as I originally detailed.
So now I no longer have one Custom Scan named "Run Smart Scan" (that I didn't put there). I now have the daily Full Virus Scan that I have wanted, and have control over once again. I no longer have any (default) Custom Scan named "Run Smart Scan."
My settings stayed intact when I turned on the computer this morning, and my daily Full Scan kicked in like it's supposed to, just as I set it up.
So, yes, "under Custom Scan," changing the settings of what the program sets up automatically as the single Custom Scan (Smart Scan), works perfectly, and it's running like clockwork as I type this post.
-
Well, while I now have the daily Full Virus Scan setting that I want (as I previously laid out how to get it), the "old time" of the daily full virus scan setting from two versions ago still exists.
Two hours after "my" preferred time ran the daily scan, the "old and no longer wanted" time kicked in.
So, right now, I am forced to keep the Full Virus Scan at the time I set up, but then I have to cancel the Full Virus Scan that runs two hours later because the latest version did not erase what once was, if my computer is still on.
Very frustrating. I want the "old" scan time setting GONE GONE GONE. But there is no way to achieve that because it remains hidden in the dark untouchable recesses of the program.
Preventing access to an old time setting makes no sense at all. When something works, why break it?

Hi! Was the problem with 2 av launch components in start up fixed?

- Collateral damage. They are also under developmental pressure to bring the latest version out with newest protection features users need in the least amount of time.
- Because Avast, like all other a/v's out there, have to keep up with the latest malware exploits and threats, some bugs are going to be introduced where none was intended.
- Bad actors never rest.

EDIT

No because you'll retain your beta status.
Right now there isn't any difference between the last beta and the current release.

Keeping in mind that if/when Program Update settings are set to "automatic update" the beta channel updates the installation automatically without prior notification. As well I believe(?) backend modifications can occur unannounced on the beta channel

Just found my Windows10 machine with an Avast splash screen saying we have just updated to 19.2 and did I want to install Chrome etc. I had 19.2.2364 build 429 before and the change was to build 430. So why the automatic update and splash screen?
I was totally taken back as I have automatic updates turned off, so do not expect any program updates to be implemented automatically at all.
So what is going on with automatic updates occuring when they have been turned off in the UI ?
Note. This "automatic" Avast update to 19.2.2364 (build 19.2.4186.430) coincided with a Windows10 update which required a restart tonight.

I believe this was a bug fix that (occurring in a VPS update), hence only a small incremental update in the build number. So not a full program update, which your manual program setting would have worked.
For the update to actually take effect it requires a reboot, this obviously occurred after the windows update required/initiated reboot.

Again, like about a year ago, Avast Internet Security, after the update on 02.06.2019, computers on the local network became inaccessible! In this case, the Internet works. Support does not respond. On a working computer - Windows 10, on two other Windows XP, files are stored on one, a printer is connected to another, for which Windows 10 does not have drivers. Now I do not have access to my files or print. Full paralysis. Thank you very much Avast, you are the best for my money! I wrote twice in support, no answer! :-\

@pavelbulava,
If you have Avast Firewall on Avast Internet Security and you are using the computer on your office or home LAN (i.e. not on a Public network) then check the Firewall is set to "Private". Default is fail-safe to "Public"which is more restrictive.

Hi
The Avast GUI is the Program "User Interface"
You can "Right Click" on the Avast Icon in the Bottom Taskbar and choose 'Open Avast User Interface' at the top.
The GUI will open. (See attached Screenshot)
Once opened then go to Menu/ Settings/ Troubleshooting and choose "Repair" (See Screenshot)

So has anyone noticed the Avast UI window is extremely laggy when moved around the desktop? Try grabbing the window and doing little circles with the mouse and you'll feel what I mean. I thought at first it was something to do with my setup (recently added a G Sync monitor) but it is also present on two other PCs that just had windows clean installed on them.....

Kinda strange its happening on 3 separate PCs all with different hardware configs
Edit- should probably add they are all Intel/Nvidia systems with Windows v1809. I have an Intel/AMD laptop with v1803 and avast doesnt experience the issue im referring too. And that upon opening the Avast UI It takes around 5-7 seconds of spinning before the slowdown occurs. Now who is going to sit there and spin a window for 7 seconds during actual use.... but still figured Id point it out if others were experiencing it too.

No such problem here either.

For me I would say moving the monster AvastUI out of the way is a pretty reasonable action, as for dragging it round in circles, not so reasonable. I would also love to be able to resize the monster UI (my pet hate) and relocate it permanently so I don't have to resize and move it again every time it is opened.

Well I'll just throw my ?cents worth in while we're on the subject
The Avast GUI development has been IMHO their weakest element> Design, Color/s, Size, Not Resizeable, Glitchy, Resources used (just kills my XP when Initiated).
Just my opinion from my experiences with other Security Software over the years. :)

I have the same experience and it even kept moving after I stopped moving my mouse, although only for a second or so.

Yes Avast is aware of this issue. I have sent logs that were requested.
I have the same issue "at times" and does take a Reboot to clear it.
I have been informed it appears to be some kind of "Deadlock in the GUI".
The cause is unknown as of yet as the issue still appears on both my Win 10 OS's
This issue has been plaguing me since mid-December 2018 :-\

Windows 7 x64 sp1 MB Premium with Avast Free.
Avast UI white and unresponsive.
I have this issue since the 2nd last update. Avast unresponsive when I click on short cut or tray icon. When it slowly appears after trying to open it again it is all white or partially white. It can hang other apps when trying to use them while the UI is open and white.
Same issue is on two drives, both windows 7 x64 sp1, with one a clean windows 7, fully patched and clean AVAST install.
What logs do you need?

Should I post the zipped folder in this thread, the linked white screen thread or email it to <removed email address>
1. You can't attach/post the zipped files in the forums only images and text files allowed. If you happen to change the file type to say .txt it just corrupts the archive.
2. You should remove the email address displayed publicly in the forums.
You can email it to that address or upload it to a file sharing site and post the url in your next reply. Emailing is possibly the better option as it doesn't rely on Petr seeing/being notified of the reply and downloading it.

Hi,
I have Avast Internet Security and since not this last update, put the one before the bar of antispam in Outlook isn't shoowing and altough i've bought a license/software with a anti-spam shield is not working.
I was informed that in the next release that issue will be fixed but the sure is that is not true.
My laptpop is working with Windows 10 and Office 2010.
I've paid for a full pack of feature and one of them isn't working i think that Avast should it fixed that quickly.
Thank you in advance.

Should I wait until the next time it turns white and send logs then or just send them now?

In previous versions of avast premier in the firewall tab you had access to application rules where you had the ability to block/allow etc... individual programs on certain ports and protocols, is this ability no longer available? Or am I just not finding it?

after last patch its strange some days when i click on icon it wont launch/open second time i click it opens as white box, full white box, next day or after restart it works properly, usually there is 1Ui.exe always running and when i launch avast it runs second Ui.exe so issue is second Ui.exe is required for launch and it wont start so result is white box, i kept eye on it in task manager to see what cause it, avast has bug that sometimes on pc boot something goes wrong what prevents second Ui.exe to run on opening/launching avast (one Ui.exe is always running and avast opened there is 2, when it opens as white box its just 1, second one wont work), its seem to be boot issue (on pc boot something gets fked up with avast) cause 1 day its ok and then next day or 3th day its white box hole day, unless i restart pc, and right new it opens as white box
it does look like on startup under AvLuncher icon few processes didn't start, it only shows AvLuncher without the processes that u usually see when u click on it
i wonder is doing restart to avast from service bad idea, like causes problems? or its best to let it be cause on next boot or boot after that it works fine again
when does it get patched???
EDIT:
no idea how to cause there are so meany files and it says in use when i try to attach it to my new post, so can't provide logs

Just updated to this version. (free)
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 1809 (17763.316)
Bugs I've found:
I can't seem to be able to find and reopen a targeted scan that I started from Windows Explorer. Went to PC-> right clicked on the drive I wanted to scan -> "Scan selected items for viruses". All good. The window showed up, avast started scanning & showing progress.
Then I did the exact same thing for a different partition while the first scan was running. I got to see the progress for the second scan, but the first scan was nowhere to be found anymore.
I waited for the 2nd scan to finish. It had found 61 issues so I clicked on "Resolve all", waited until I was told that everything was done and closed the window. Avast showed a pop-up in the lower right corner telling me 61 issues were found (this was AFTER everything had been supposedly resolved).
I clicked to view the issues and was told there were no issues. Closed the window and avast kept telling me 61 issues had been found.
Then, I started looking for the first scan I'd initialized...and it was nowhere to be found. With all the GUI upgrades...and I couldn't find a simple way to reopen a scan I'd started from Explorer. What on Earth?
I knew the scan was still running because the partition I started the scan for was being used heavily by AvastSvc.exe in Task Manager and Resource Monitor.
The scan is still running as of this post...and I can't reopen the window to check the scan progress out.
I went to Protection->Virus scans. Custom scans has a "1" in the top right corner of the button, right above the magnifying glass, but selecting that opens the "Custom scans" window and allows me to create a new scan...still cannot check out the progress of that first scan I'd started from Windows Explorer.
I went to "Scan history", assuming it could be some kind of report that would at least let me know which scans were launched, when AND let me see the ones that were still running. All I got was a list with "Scan name" and "Launch" (date). No option whatsoever to check the scan that was running.
Very, very annoying and counterintuitive.
Next time you release versions like these, think about this: some people fix others' computers and we sometimes use your software - imagine spending hours at someone's place working on their PC only to find out you can no longer see the scan, or even tell how long it's gonna take.

unsecapp.exe is still being triggered and ran when behavior shield is isntalled, Behavior shield does not need unsecapp.exe to run or work. and I would appricated if avast fixes behavior shield from trigger unsecapp.exe from running, that running has other implications I rather not be open too
Then again the slow image loading on GUI is still issue 2 years later it just not as bad as it use to be on SSD, on HDD it still is
-
hello I found something in this new version after a clean install:
1/ unsecapp.exe is constantly running (since v19 was released) although Browser clean up tool is not installed (unsecapp is required for it to function according to avast dev long time ago)
Behavior shield started triggering now in recent build , last time Avast had this problem of trigger it was like you said when browser clean up tool was installed ( which is not isntalled and never has been cause it trigger "unsecapp.exe"). You can safely terminate the process the behavior shield will work fine, or you can just rename the process to keep it from even starting, which more trouble then it worth. or go back to build of avast that didnt trigger this which i no longer sure which builds dont trigger it.
I normally just terminate the process upon boot when i remember it.
Behavior sheild might trigger unsecapp.exe to run but dont use it according to process monitor so not sure why it even triggering it run.

It happened much earlier than 19.1.xxxx, something changed in 18.6.xxxx and unsecapp.exe was launched by the behaviour shield. It had CPU consequences, certainly for XP users as 18.8.xxxx and the final version for XP/Vista had that in in meaning many can't use that version.
I had to go back to 18.5.xxxx to be rid of it and get my PC back to some semblance of normal CPU activity and usage. Others also report this in the End of support for Windows XP/Vista (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=220639.0) topic.
-
I know I was in that thread too along with other thread i could find that referenced unsecapp.exe.
Like said I orginal knew the browser cleanup tool being installed was what caused it which why I never installed it after finding out, and when unsecapp.exe starting popping u again I check to see if, Browser Cleanup was install again. it wasnt that is when I that is when I started removing shields till I found out it was Behavior shield. it been like this now what 6+ months probably longer.
unsecapp.exe has other consquence for running cpu consequences.
Avast devs need to fix this, I have report this to them multiple times too

Well I never installed Browser Cleanup or a whole slew of other components, basically I do a minimal install, so the main shields, plus the Mail Shield and Software Updater. I never ever install/ed the browser cleanup function, yet unsecapp.exe, so it was pinned down to the behaviour shield.
This leaves the quandary, do I/we deselect to what is essentially a major part of security to progress beyond 18.5.xxxx or do we stick with an older version. Neither of these options are good and this is made worse when you consider, it has been mentioned that Avast may provide one or two security based updated to what is meant to be the final avast version.

Yes we are testing different approaches in this case.
If user get detection dialog in web browser, it should be blocked and user should know everything is ok, no other action is required.
If user get detection by file system shield, avast should recommend full system scan or boot time scan.
And so on....

Well you don't say what Avast version you are using as Automatic Software Updates is a paid version only (as far as I'm aware).
Plus the range of software that is updated is very limited, mostly it is only those frequently targeted for exploit. I only have 5 programs monitored.

Hello,
I need advice. Suddenly my Avast premium doesn't work. No firewall and passwords. Can't even log on to my account. It say "Loading...this shouldn't take long", nothing happens though.
Thanks in advance
Annika
Repair Avast:
1. Avast GUI -> Settings -> Troubleshooting
2. Click on 'REPAIR APP'.
3. Follow instructions.
4. Reboot.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is Avast GUI and where can I find it?
Sorry :-[
Hi
The Avast GUI is the Program "User Interface"
You can "Right Click" on the Avast Icon in the Bottom Taskbar and choose 'Open Avast User Interface' at the top.
The GUI will open. (See attached Screenshot)
Once opened then go to Menu/ Settings/ Troubleshooting and choose "Repair" (See Screenshot)
As Asyn stated, follow instructions :)
HI, I tried accessing the user interface as instructed but it still shows "Loading... This shouldn't take long".
I've also tried going to control panel > uninstall > repair.
I've also tried restarting the PC.
NOthing worked. Avast still says i'm unprotected.
I checked my license and it's still valid.
Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thought I'd add in something, I got the same message but the fix didn't work for the reason that it was the interface that was displaying that screen with the only option being a box to exit.
It occurred immediately after I ran the program update.
The issue is to do with OpenDNS of all things, on it's highest filter setting avast.com is blocked, adding it in as an exception, waited the obligatory 3 minutes and rebooted for it all to start working again.
