OK, just to say I tried the reboot several times - no change. Did an uninstall and installed using the 81MB installer not the gui like last time. Scans that mp4 file quickly now now. Thanks mchain.
You're welcome.  BTW, never use a registry cleaner to optimize your system.  You'll not miss the headaches use of such can bring.

I've been using avast! antivirus for 2 + years now and my thoughts and opinion for that, are more than positive. As for the new Avast! 2014 (aka 9), I like its features very much, however the new UI is horrible - I'm sorry to admit, I just hate it and it's the first time I do.


Avast 7 and 8 UI were FAR better :( I tired to get used but it's just horrible in terms of beauty - I hope you'll consider it and may make a few changes. The avast 8 graphics (with he shields, the lights on each shield that were working, the cloud graphics - were just a total beauty.) - but not the 2014 one sorry guys.


Love ya though, ya know it!

The new win8-like UI is just HORRENDOUS. The previous one was FAR BETTER.
Anything that looks like win8 is horrible. It looks like win 3.1, flat and horrible pastel-like colors. Just Awful.

I installed the version 9,the UI is simply Horrible!!! Along with Windows 8 Avast have now a horrible UI!
I had some trouble installing it with Outpost firewall pro 8.1.1. Outpost didn't allow Avast to update even when I specified it to allow all Avast services to access internet.
So I make a downgrade to Avast 8.
Very disappointed....

I have used avast and outpost firewall for over nine years without major issue. I'm on the latest versions of both programs on win XP Pro and win7 32 bit and no problem on either system.

What elements of Outpost Firewall Pro (OFP) are you using ?
e.g. Did you elect to use the OFP Web Protect as it isn't really required with avast ?

This is OFP stopping changed/updated avast elements (and blocking changed elements) as the firewall is setup to do, nothing avast can do about that. This is an OFP issue, you need to have OFP allow avast.setup instup.exe for updates to take place (and the other new/changed elements of avast), if the entry is there then delete it and that should force OFP to ask permission again.

Or better still delete all entries for avast elements in OFP and put OFP on to Auto-learn mode for a few days whilst you use the updated avast.

EDIT: new avast update file name in avast 9 - instup.exe

I use Outpost firewall pro on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bits,the web protection is always turnedoff by default.
Problem solved by specifying the rules:

 Settings/General/Application rules/INSTUP.EXE  and Edit/Network Rules and New- where the protocol is:TCP and direction is: outbound and remote port is HTTP,HTTPS ALLOW.

 POST UPDATE
 Also:
                                                                                                                New-where  the protocol is: TCP and direction outbound ALLOW

In previously occasions Outpost created the rules automatically. And I completely forgot to use auto-learn mode  :P

Why does Avast 9 only have three shields?

From the FAQ: http://www.avast.com/faq.php

The number of real-time shields in avast! 2014 is reduced by merging some of them to another. The P2P Shield, IM Shield and Behavior Shield are now a part of the File System Shield, while the Network Shield with Script Shield are a part of the Web Shield.

ok thanks.

 Ok 7 Shields in 3 but I used to have 8 on Avast anti-virus Pro; One is missed the rootkits shield maybe.

Firewall makes WP8 emulator internet connection to time out even though xde.exe has allowed connections set to all connections.

Yes, the auto learn can come in very handy at times.

All of the previous shields are still there, some have been merged into others.
The protection is still there, only better.
There never was a "rootkit" shield.

Are you using v2014 Pro?
Dell Inspiron, Win10x64--HP Envy Win10x64--Both systems Avast Free v17.9.2322, Comodo Firewall v8.2 w/D+, MalwareBytes v3.0, OpenDNS, Super Anti-Spyware, Spyware Blaster, MCShield, Unchecky, Vivaldi Browser and, various browser security tools.
