Actually.. NO thank you...

Hi

This is for whom ever decided that this update should be released!

yesterday, all was well, this morning no internet connectivity no matter how i do it.. wireless, cable... nothing.
uninstalled avast...all good..reinstalled avast... no internet.

I'm running 8.1 pro 64bit....

Have I wasted my money?

I don't have time to waste on this.. so let me know when you think I should try to re-install.

Pull the bug... undo or fix whatever you've done that affects the network subsystem and re-release it.

Oh, and don't ask me a whole lot of "questions".... put 2 and 2 together...It's not hard people!

regards

NG System Requirements ?

OK having now updated my - Acer Aspire One netbook, Win7 Starter (32bit) 10.1", 1024X600 screen, 2GB DDR3 RAM, Intel Atom N255 (1.5GHz dual core) CPU. to 2015.10.2.2214. It also has only a 250GB HDD not SSD.

I have a question on NG system requirements - when I saw NG trying to get started (my firewall jumped on it), I thought what the h3ll. I even disabled MBAM Premium's resident protection as it has an adverse resource impact.

My system specs are pathetic if I do say so myself an Intel Atom N255 (1.5GHz dual core) processor and 2GB DDR3 RAM, this is so under powered it couldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding. And that is before NG would try to shoehorn its way into my system.

Watching paint dry would be marginally quicker and avast thinks it is powerful enough to run NG (or whatever it is now called). Someone has to review the system spec to even consider installing NG.  Dual Core Intel Atoms are being used in tablets and phones and my Intel Atom is three years old for gods sake.

I only just noticed this post.
I haven't installed NG on any PCs with specs similar to yours yet, because I'm concerned about the subsequent poor performance.
The specified hardware requirements are riduculous, even without installing NG, https://www.avast.com/en-au/faq.php?article=AVKB1#artTitle
128MB RAM for an AV with VM? :o
I had to take it off an XP PC with 1.5GHZ CPU and 512MB RAM. Let's just say, the "paint" wasn't drying!!

I just updated to this version with no problems but I don't want browser cleanup.  I tried a repair but didn't get the option to change anything.  Where can I find the browser clean up tool?

You should select Change instead of Repair :)

I see your second image (EDIT: now removed) had the Browser Protection highlighted, but that is for the Avast Online Security add-on and not for the Browser CleanUp.

When I clicked on change it showed Browser Cleanup didn't have a check mark so it must have kept my settings from version 2208.

Most likely. Also you can turn on/off these Avast tools in:

Avast > SETTINGS > Tools > ON/OFF
