No freeze here, but Smart Scan did not show Wi-Fi inspector scan results.
It only shows "Browser threats" - "Outdated Apps" - "Viruses & Malware" - "Advanced issues"
And open up Wi-Fi inspector just after Smart Scan shows "Scanning" effect but no results available.

These are good news. Might be related to Windows Insider ring or it is fixed with the latest version in Wifi inspector.

Thank you I found the way to use the avast with nvda. After I install avast, I have to go to settings>general>resolving problems and turn off the self defence box. I use free version.

In this release, the Avast Firewall is again blocking Casting.
Casting was finally fixed in the last release.
Where's the quality control?

Thanks. Why did it happen? When will a patch be released?
I have to turn off my firewall so I can stream to the TV but currently again have no choice.

Hi,

I reinstalled my win10 two days ago, thats a thing i like to do from time to time. I installed Avast again and i´m testing this new beta version of Avast Premium Security.

I still have the issue for a couple of months. It about the not working properly avast ssl certificate. I tried on all my browsers, ASB, GC, MF and ME (all updated versions) and i saw also on windows certificate store and appears the avast certificate its on all browsers certificate stores but not activated as doesn´t appear as a MITM certificate as it should and this is decreasing my https protection as i could check via eicar tests and amtso tests and the web shield doesn´t detect the files that came via https connections because the certificate is not working. Only detected after by file shield when it was supposed to be detected by web shield with the MITM certificate to work with https scanning properly. So whats is happening is that every malicious download file is getting passed thought if cames from https connections. Not being caught by web shield i have to pray for file shield to kick in.
And avast certificate appears on windows certificate store as untrusted root certificate.
In case of you are asking, i work in IT area for several years and i had cybersecurity certifications so i know a little bit of this and i would appreciate your help very much.
Sending you screenshoots.

Kind Regards,
Filipe
