Web shield *still* blocks most pages on any browser - even pages on my exclude list. I have been running Avast with the web shield turned off for several months now, every time there's an update I check to see if the problem is fixed, it never is. Auto-update is not working either. (Windows 7 64-bit SP1.)

No good for me - had to go back to the previous version.

IE10 now takes one and half minutes to load with each search on Google taking 25 seconds. The selected web pages are also slow to respond so it is totally unusable. Disabling the Avast add ons on IE10 gives me the fast response times as expected so it's down to this new version of Avast. I don't feel comfortable with the add ons disabled so I've now had to revert back to 8.0.1488. Ideally, I want to go back to 8.0.1483 but haven't got the setup program anymore (8.0.1483 finally fixed the "Insufficient System Resources" issue when doing a system scan and Web Rep still worked in Google searches).

As reported by other users, 8.0.1488 and 8.0.1489 don't show the Web Rep against Google searches in IE10 like it did in previous versions.

System is Win 7 Home Premium 64bit.

With last three versions, SSL scanning doesn't work in thunderbird for me. Turned off, not worth troubleshooting.

Free avast, Windows 7/64

AVAST 8 autoupdate reverts to 7.0.1455
« Reply #57 on: May 13, 2013, 01:11:37 PM »
Internet Security version 8 was auto installed @ 3 weeks ago. This morning Avast notified me a program upgrade was available, I let it do the update, and it has reverted back to 7.0.1455. This is on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

why would the program downgrade itself?

how do I correct this?

thanks

Hello, I've just started a new tread about a possible bug with the Virus Alerts message sending here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=123961.msg939605#msg939605

---------------------
My original post:

After setting all the parameters in Settings/Virus Alerts, when I click on Test, Avast! freezes and becomes totally unresponsive.  It's impossible to make it stable again, and also trying to reboot via Windows commands is impossible (the system itself freezes).
The only solution is clicking the on/off button of my machine aka turning off the power.

Please, keep in mind that you have to use port 465 and SMTP server in order to reproduce the issue (I used a yahoo account).
I was able to reproduce it on my father's system as well (same OS/security software, different hardware).

Could anyone please confirm (or not) the issue (but be very careful, since the system freeze). Thanks in advance.

Regards
