Post by: petr.kolacek on August 12, 2021, 02:19:38 PM

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).

Hi Asyn, I really appreciate your interest. I know that the changes were related to setup, licensing, user interface, browser and firewall components. There are no specific actions I would recommend to try, some of the code changes are even disabled and just preparation for something in the future (so the code is kind of sleeping now). So basically anything that you will exercise in those areas is generally useful. Also note that most of them (if not all of them) are just little things and final tunning before public release ;)  Anyway, thank you again and have a nice day.
