Thanks Karel, already up and running.
System startup is quite slow, else no issues (so far).

"Toaster "You are protected" now correctly hides after the 15 seconds"
I expect a popup if I'm not protected or if something is not working properly.
I expect Avast to protect me. After all, that's why I installed it.
A toaster letting me know that Avast is doing what it should be doing certainly doesn't give me any confidence in the product.
I think someone needs to re-examine the logic of that popup. Thanks.

Couldn't agree more.
This is pretty much the same as getting a popup after the right click (explorer) scan to say nothing was found. I only need to now when something was found.

Are you running a preview build ???

Known issues
- Detection dialogs are opened in background
What was fixed
- Avast: Detection dialogs are opened in background
If it was already fixed in this build why on earth it is still a Known issue?

Thanks for the new beta :)

Thanks, testing

Windows 10. Turns out, it was my windows 10 that needed some updates.

No issues here with installation on Compaq Win 10
No disabled shields at this point, running smooth :)

Connections from Firefox looks slow now, I'm not sure this caused by beta or not...
With Google Chrome it looks fine.

No issues with FF 66.0.5
Edit for added info.
I tested using both systems, one running the beta and the other running Stable Version.
Both functioned very similar and as they always have. :)

You are right, my mistake. Section "Known issues" removed.
Thank you

Looks like it's only my machine, thanks.

I've only just established that Avast is the culprit causing my connection problems although I've had problems for many months! When I eventually discovered the cause I uninstalled and re-installed Avast and that temporarily fixed the problem. I've now loaded the latest Beta and the problems persist.
The symptoms are no internet (DNS not responding) when I first boot my PC and this often lasts for several minutes. I've also noticed that I cannot access Avast during this time as it's shown in the notification area but will not respond to double-click or right-click. Task Manager also shows high activity for Avast during this period.
I have the latest version of Windows 10 installed.

@ LenB
This beta has now been released as the regular program version.
You don't say what avast program you have installed - Free/Pro/AIS/Premier ?
-
I have Avast Free installed.
The control panel states that I have the Beta version and version checking shows it's up to date.
How do I convert to the non Beta version?
BTW: The captcha codes are a real challenge!

If you want to return to the Stable Version, you have to uninstall the beta (preferably Clean Install) and then install the latest Stable version.

Thank you for the advice. I'm now on Version 2378 and at the moment all seems to be working.
Only time will tell as a previous uninstall/re-install fixed for a day or two.

You're welcome.

Booted up today and it's failed again. I guess I'll need to be moving to an alternative anti-virus solution!
