Title: New beta version 21.7.2475
Post by: petr.kolacek on August 02, 2021, 05:19:40 PM
Hi everyone,

there is a new beta version ready - 21.7.2475 (build 21.7.6459).

Please accept our apologies, we did not manage to collect release notes (what is new, fixed, etc.). Will update you later or with the next beta.

Avast premium https://bits.avcdn.net/productfamily_ANTIVIRUS/insttype_APR/platform_WIN/installertype_ONLINE/build_BETA

Enjoy this beta!
We are looking forward to your feedback.

Also please be informed that we would appreciate if you would be so kind and try our Antivirus product based on so called "icarus" setup (installation and update engine) already used for other Avast products but now available also for AV. More information is here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=264883.0.
Please note that in order to get it, you need to uninstall the current one (automatic migration is not supported at the moment).

None of the buttons to restart the computer worked.
I had to manually do a restart from outside of Avast

Hello and thank you Bob for your feedback. You actually found one of the bugs fixed in 21.7 ;) so if I may ask you, once second BETA is out, please let us know whether the restart can be triggered from the application or not to make sure we fixed it right. Thank you and have a nice day!

Thanks Petr, already up and running.

PS: Restarting from within the app did work fine here.

[Bug Report] - The beta update installed all Avast modules, even the ones that were not installed before.

Not anything I can confirm. Item unchecked in prior install remained uninstalled after the update.

Well, for me, "Password (old)" module got uninstalled after update to this beta. I reinstalled it but Avast Passwords is not working now. Maybe I need another reboot...

Quite interesting/funny, as Password (old) was the one and only module that didn't get installed here, either. Guess it's blocked.

It installed here but, I'm running Omni. What didn't get installed and had been unchecked from before was the Cleanup.

Note: All OK here

All that was installed stayed installed, all that wasn't installed didn't install

[Bug Report] - Ignoring an app in Software Updater is broken, always gets reoffered after a reboot.
