Awesome. Hope final testing and release of final version is nearby. This tool should be bug free  ;)
statistics says there is nothing like bugless software ;)

Agreed 100%  :). Today I have found one minor bug in the latest version of Avast Free and reported it via AvastSupport.exe. Let me find software bugs inside avastSupport.exe and I will kick them out lol... we all will wait for the final release  :). Out of all the antivirus i.e. McAfee, MSE, Norton, and etc that I have used so far in many years. I sticked to Avast since version 7 and since then till now I don't have any regrets. Avast is awesome in it's main program (Avast antivirus), an awesome forum, and it's support to it's customers.
Equation: Awesome antivirus+awesome support+awesome forum=happy customers  :).

Goodnight. Have an awesome week Avast Team  :).

Could you try to go to Options and turn off the "Automatically send to AVAST" check box?
12029 means that server cannot be contacted. There are two actions when server is contacted now - 1) check the latest version 2) upload the generated package to FTP
Quality is also a feature.

Yes that worked :)

I did in fact turned that off in the previous versions tests.
Wanted to do the full test now, and didn't realise that would cause the error.

Hi Rednose,
please, can you try find a support.log in your user folder and read what is going wrong with connection to the ftp server?
Support log is located in:
\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\AvastSupport\support.log

thanks,
vladimir

yes, thanks a lot.
No new info is included.
Support package is uploaded via SFTP, this might be a problem...
Could you try to ping to ftp6.avast.com?

regards
vl.

I found the problem :)

It is Avast! SecureLine that is causing this.

- With SecureLine on I get the error.
- With SecureLine off all goes well.

I double checked it !

It took about 2 mins to analyze my sys and to send the package. Very easy to use.

My download automatically chose Spanish but every word in the UI was in English and with the ? missplaced. After changing to English and then back to Spanish, the UI showed all in Spanish.
- strange that it didn't show up in Spanish. We'll need to check it. What is locale on your OS?

- about the "?" - it's as designed. As this tool will be used even by "non-techies" we don't want to bother them with too many details. The details are there for advanced user however they are more hidden

No problem found. Language issue fixed.
Generated and sent report # 20150306_2150_RFHBY_912214455.zip

Good job. Thanks.

Any idea why SecureLine is causing a problem with this tool ?

If everyone had the same problem, there would be no fun in Beta testing Bob ;)
