Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is the secureline (proxy) available to free avast users?

I see. Is there no chance they'll offer a free proxy service at say.. 100MB per month? I'm in need of a free high speed proxy just for a log in, then I can disconnect the proxy and run everything as normal. Heck, 10MB may even be enough.

I don't think so.

I don't believe so either. Though even if it were and you use it to log on, I presume that once you disconnect the proxy the connection would fall over. Since secureline is handling the proxy all traffic for that log on and subsequent connection/traffic would be routed through the proxy; once the proxy is closed there is no way to route the traffic back to you.

At least that is my understanding of how things proxy work.

Hi all,

I hope you are all well, I have done a clean install of Avast! FFREE 8.0.1488 and the install went smoothly.

I am having a problem installing security plugin for Google Chrome up to date 26.0.1410.64m, when I click in install but nothing happens.
Has anyone else had the same problem as me with this issue?

Hope to hear from anyone who can help and advice, thank you in advance.

happy avast user :)

OMG!!! I thought the avast rep web has been resolved. In fact, it hasn't so I had to download the avast online security only for google chrome. Even I read in this forum that the browser integration under the Avast GUI doesn't work for Google Chrome. I hope this get resolved. I don't want to take any chances doing does sort of testing. I will just wait for an update to fix that. Security plugin works only IE10 and Firefox 20.0.1

There won't be an update -at least for now as Google doesn't allow it anymore. As many ppl already wrote - just install it manually.

Well the issue with FF 20.0.1 and webrep is still there, webrep doesn't remind the position after I restart the FF :-[ Why this behavior? Can anyone explain me?

I had mine automatically moved from the right side to the middle. After moving it back to the right side and restart it stays there.

Another Problem i had with WebRep: as some ppl reported already in 1486 Beta 3: need to refresh the page to get WebRep working on Google search. Further AdBlock isn't working and doesn't show icon. I had to disable AdBlock, restart and enable AdBlock to get AdBlock working again and WebRep to work on first load of a page.

Further as previously reported: neither with 1487 nor 1488 the "UpdatusUser" account is removed and the WebRep window poping up after clicking on the icon during a session to give rep. still can't be moved.

I'm having the same problem with the 1488 update!  I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling a few times now, but the problem won't go away.

Updated from 1483 via GUI to 1488 about 5hrs ago. Apart from a white screen lasting approx 1min on reboot (which occurred after Windows had loaded and I'd put my PW in), it went smoothly and I've had no issues so far. Thanks :)

i updated thought the updater and no problems here but i was not happy to have avast installed google chrome i understand that if you do a installed if you do a custom installed you can uncheck it but with the updater thought avast it should not happen and i have the pro version besides hopefully avast changes that because that is not the right thing to be doing to paying  customers other wises i have always been very happy with avast  :(

Well, I reinstalled the old version 8.0.1483 and the problem went away, so it must be a bug in 8.0.1488.

Wauv Avast, that was a baaaaaaaad update.

After the update and a reboot, I had NO internet. I could ping ip adresses, but normal trafic via browser, dropbox, IM and so on was not allowed to pass. Disabled all shields, that did not help :O
Then I started an update of the virus defs, but got an error that an installation was already running O_o Two seconds after that the internet came on, so apparently it was hanging in installing an updated def or something like that.

Avast that is simply not good enough. There has been to many of these issues, you need to improve your QA. I've always using Avast because of it's simplicity, how light it is and that it always worked, please don't destroy that.

Thanks.
