[Rompin Raider]

This beta is running pretty light on my old laptop (Win 7)...Hardened mode..(aggressive) and PUP's on.  Nice job Avast.

HI I just wanted to give some feedback on avast Beta2 free if I may.  I must say that avast free Beta 2 has been very stable on my Windows Vista home Basic system this far with no problems at all except for not being able to login through facebook through the account tab witch is on the main page of avast free Beta 2.  For some reason when I put my password in the blank space below my email address and push the login button I get a message saying incorrect password try again.  I did try this for a second time and still I could not login to facebook going through the account tab on the main UI of avast free Beta 2.

Hope this gets fixed real soon avast have a good rest of your week

An excellent job from Avast Team to bring a new feature called Home Network Security to all of it's Avast products that detects the user's home internet router/modem and connections making sure it's secured. In this DNA age every security products should have this. Couple of weeks ago here in New Zealand had a massive DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Attack that came from all over overseas. Bottom line an ISP company blamed customers who didn't have up-to-date modem (old 3rd party modems) that the attackers had gained easy access to their modem and installed malicious softwares and etc malwares without the user's knowledge along with out-dated antimalware security software they had in their computers and the malicious software and malwares had distributed throughout the ISP network. Causing slow connections/ no connections to all customers. This continued for around 1 1/2 weeks. Currently everything is ok now!

Thanks you heaps Avast for bringing up this new feature 

Thanks, this is what is HNS intended to be used for.

There is great feedback for NG here, can you guys also try Home Network Security - avast! UI | scan | scan for network problems a share your opinion...

This is still not fixed:

@ hectic-mmv

The "home network scan" seems to work. At least my network doesn't have any issues.
It also shows how many devices are facing the internet. Due to identifiers I did not show them.

Since installing this beta, ive had loads of issues, ive uninstalled ...completely removed it but its screwed up my OS, especially networking, media centre cant update anymore it cant reach the remote server, plus ....my system is lightning fast again like it should be, even malwarebytes premium doesn't slow my system down like avast premier does, is there any plans to to make avast have less of an impact on performance and to stop it breaking networking when you don't want it anymore?. My system isn't a slow one either, and for avast to slow it down is nuts.

I'm not having any of these problems and I don't see a bunch of reports of others having these problems. This is probably system specific. You may want to have a look at other security apps that are on your system now and in the past to see if there could be some incompatibility. Including firewalls.

Was this a clean install or did you install over the top of Premier?

You might want to discuss this in your own topic so it doesn't get buried in this one.

Thanks very much hectic-mmv. I don't test beta programs at all because the risk of my laptop becoming unusable. Once 2015 final comes out. I will share my opinion about the Home Network Security and give feedback. Thanks.

I tried it on top of 2014 first, then uninstalled and tried, ididnt have any other security apart from built in stuff of windows 8.1 64bit, I never realised how much of a slow down avast is until I uninstalled it, my games loaded in half the time, web pages are now instant, even on first opening, avast premier replaces files on installation which I think is the cause of the networking issues when you remove it.

Hello,

It's impossible to participate to the beta test if you are using Windows XP Service Pack 1. Are you aware of this issue? Thanks.

@Sarah-T: Yes, please upgrade to XP SP2 or SP3. This is minimum OS requirement for avast! antivirus.

Once again, the opening topic states:

Note: In this beta build, not all detections are 100% operable yet, so I wouldn't recommend using the new DeepScreen for detection testing for now. It will be 100% operable in the next couple of weeks - we will certainly let you know when is the good time to start testing with your malware collections

This has been mentioned before and you make a video of the beta anyway and haven't left any details of what avast mentioned in the opening topic.
