Title: Behavior Shield Keeps disabling itself
Post by: jvidal on November 11, 2019, 03:42:04 AM
Hi!

Whenever I disable the shields for a while and then re-enable them (or are automatically re-enabled after the selected time has passed), they are all enabled, but after 2 or 3 minutes the behavior shiled will disable itself. If I re-enable it, it will re-disable itself again after a few minutes and son on. Latest avast free on win 7 64.
Tried un-installing and re-installing, didn't fix it.
The only workaround seems to either reboot or log off and then back on and never disable the shields. That way, they all stay enabled.

but I read that the latest beta has A LOT of serious issues!
Why the hell should I install a beta version to fix a problem that SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST in the first place!

version 20 released AND THIS BUG IS STILL THERE, EXACTLY THE SAME!!
what the hell is wrong with the devs, that can't fix a simple bug?
Now, it's worse, avast will detect viruses even with the shields disabled. THERE IS NO WAY TO PAUSE PROTECTION NOW.

Both Mr. Sagar Bedi and jvidal are on Win7 right? Is that a clue.
I have not seen any problems with Behaviour Shield switching off on Win10 1909. Im am seeing RAM usage of 39MB, but is small compared to FF.

Part of the problem seems to be system related.
Awaiting further explanation from Avast.

As I stated, we are waiting for further and more detailed information from Avast.
System related mean exactly that. Settings regulated by the operating system.
Any details need to come from Avast.
