VirtualBox VM 4.3.18 r96516
With Avast Free 10.0.2206 - was all good.

You block VirtualBox ?

Could you please try to uninstall and then install the VirtualBox again? This issue should be fixed in SP1.

Does this version contain the redesigned menu after you right-click the status icon?

No, as it looks like the same set of options - I don't think it was planned for this SP1 update for avast 2015, but a future program update.

What is "SP1" ? 2015.10.0.2208 ?
The problem just appeared when upgrading to 10.0.2208.
I don't have time for experiments.
Sorry, but had to (temporarily) uninstall Avast.
The problem with VirtualBox in Avast is not the first, and the operability of the VirtualBox is more important to me...

Updated from avastUI on my win7 netbook with the previous release 10.0.2206 - everything appears to have gone well.

Note: This update also appears to have resolved the Hardened Mode Exclusions (on my XP system) in relation to those file paths that were displayed in the old 8.3 file format.

I have the latest avast! Free Antivirus with File Shield (write only), Web Shield and Home Network Security.

avast! detects https eicar files with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox or Opera.

I am sorry to hear that. However, I just tried to reproduce your scenario and doing uninstall and then clean install of both VirtualBox and Avast resolves the issue.

SP1 is 10.0.2208. It is possible, that the issue occurred during the upgrade process from 10.0.2206. Clean install of 10.0.2208 solves the problem.

Just one more question. Did the Avast uninstall resolved the issue with VirtualBox or was it necessary to re-install VirtualBox as well?

Thanks.

Installed .2208.712 already yesterday, where it appeared on the beta thread. Just thinking it was a quick "HotFix" of the last beta version.
OK- now it is the final version and still running comfortably smooth and flawlessly!

Really, after Avast uninstalling (avastclear.exe I tried also) I had to use VB installation recovery.
Avast uses VB-code to implement the Sandbox sevice. Obviously, some of the modules or their registration data (actively used COM-technology) came into conflict with VB-infrastructure. Your developers need to be more careful when "VB is near".
These problems led to the loss of my working time. Various experiments would only aggravate it.
Don't worry, I'll probably be back (maybe tomorrow). 
Thank you. Sorry for my English.

The outdated software scan is showing an outdated version of Firefox as the one to download. The proper version should be 33.0.3.

Thank you,

Chatango flash doesn't work. It's loading endlessly.

Wow, I am glad I saw this and thank you. I installed premier with license on new laptop with Win 8.1 on it. have had nothing but probs with it and it causes internet explorer to crash every time you try to use it.
I have been using the PAID FOR Avast for several years now. I called in to report the problem because it says Free Support and all they would do was send me a new license file. If I wanted more than that I had to pay 170.00 for that one year one computer support program. They suckered me into that last year but has expired now. So basically you are on your own with these people. Watch Out McAfee!

Updated from the GUI ok. Just 2 small issues for Avast to consider.
1): I had WebRep disabled and the new update, of course, put it back in.
No real big deal, just disable Avast Self Defense and then delete the WebRep
folders (or do it through Add or Remove Features)

2): While I was checking the folders for Avast, I noticed there were a whole
slew of folders from previous installations. Most of these were empty and
did not need to take up space on the computer. The Avast installer should
clean up these not needed folders. They are in the Setup folder and have
oddball looking file names.
