How can I download older builds of Avast?
Reading the thread you're posting in sometimes reveals the answer with having to ask it. :)

This issue should be fixed in 8.0.1489, if not please try to uncheck "Settings > Troubleshooting > Enable hardware-assisted virtualization"


This update breaks the Unity 3D game engine completely...

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/172759-Unity-4-0-1f2-and-avast-8-0-1482-quot-getThreadContextfailed-quot-error

It's being overly touchy about what Unity does, particularly involving threads. What change did you make that would do this? You need to revert it ASAP.

Avast is also causing a break in compiled programs.

Did a fresh install of Avast and error happened after about 2 hours. So, not fixed. Just uninstalled Avast again so I can keep working. Going to switch to Norton, but this needs to be fixed, preferably by Avast. Somebody from Unity should contact them.

I have just receive a feedback from Avast Tech support. They don't seem to be doing anything about this problem. Just telling me how to deal with AV exclusion and we already tried this option without success (I will try again soon)... Here is the solution he gave me :

Unity version 4.1.2f1 - only major change made on my computer was todays update of Avast (v8.0.1489). The first time I had gTC error was also after Avast update.

How can I download older builds of Avast?
Quality is also a feature.

I still have version 7 installed because I don't want to downgrade to version 8 and lose the sandbox function.  :(
At every startup I get a misleading popup message that urge me to install new version 7.0.1489, yes that is what it says. I was almost tricked into installing but as soon as I realized it was installing version 8 I stopped the installation promptly. Are you guys at Avast trying to disguise version 8 as an ordinary version 7 program update?  :o

You won't lose this function with V8.

I have the PaleMoon browser (based on Firefox).  When I look in Browser Integration PaleMoon is not listed.  Does Avast not recognize it?  If not, why?

Pale Moon is not a mainstream browser.

Not even with the free version 8?

AutoSandbox is still there, the full SB wasn't available with V7 in avast! Free either.

Conflict with the HP Security Manager with an HP ProBook 4530 / Win 7.   (there is a thread with another user, wjmkoopman, experienced the same issue)

After upgrading from Avast 8.0.1483 to .1489, the laptop displays the login error, "User does not exist" when attempting to login.

Safe mode allowed successful login.  Unistalled Avast 8.0.1489.  Rebooted and successfully logged into Normal Mode / reinstalled from the Avast website.  Rebooted into Normal Mode and the problem immediately returned.

Tried playing around with the HP Security Manger without success.  I did not uninstall it.  Avast .1489 is clearly the issue here.

TEMPORARY SOLUTION:  Did a Windows Restore back to a day or so before the Avast Upgrade, which restored Avast to v8.0.1483.  Will now wait until Avast publishes a solution, assuming one comes.

If anyone has insight on a resolution for this issue, I'd love to hear it.

Try disabling the hp security manager in misconfig and services that would fix the issue

  See "can I turn off AVAST update, my CPU is at 100%" entry....

   Outside of a potential UPDATE issue, things seem to be hunky-dory.   ;)

Well ..........

My settings have always been for "ASK" on program updates. 

Why did I find myself presented with a dialog box demanding I restart my machine to complete the update to this latest version? ( and yes, the setting is still clearly set to "ASK". )

Why have I had forced upon me all the Avast features I had removed from the system?

Why do scheduled scans run at random intervals?

Why did I get another instance of Chrome ?

I think Avast is trying to be too clever, way too much garbage and additional features being added.
