I don't have any problems with it. I did uncheck "Monitor suspicious activities" in HIPS and enabled max sensitivity. So it only monitors malware like behavor and nothing else.

I've uninstalled the beta on xp and reinstalled latest Version until there is a SafeZone component to test that's functional.

This morning, Avast said there was an update to 2015.10.3.2219
Updated ok via the UI ... not sure why this is not listed as a final
release as yet (seems like it should have been)

It isn't a final it's a beta version. If you received an update notice than you've been a recent beta tester for Avast.

Didn't think I was on the beta, as my system had the last Final Release of Avast installed.
Now I have this one 2015.10.3.2219 ... So that does mean I am now on the Beta ?
How does it get back to the normal release channel ? ? So far, this new version seems ok.

1. Didn't think I was on the beta, as my system had the last Final Release of Avast installed.
2. Now I have this one 2015.10.3.2219 ... So that does mean I am now on the Beta ?
3. How does it get back to the normal release channel ? ? So far, this new version seems ok.

1. Final release was '2015.10.2.2218'.
2. That's R 3, Beta 1.
3. If you have no trouble, let it remain as it is. Otherwise you have to download and install '10.2.2218'.

You have to do a "Clean Install" of Version 2015.10.2.2218

We don't know :-\

I see no difference in Sandbox in the Beta, and SafeZone is not available ...

I might do that when the next final release comes out. I will need to export my exclusions first or else I need to put them all back in. There should be an easier way to get back on the main release channel, maybe in an .ini file or a registry key.

There are "major" differences/added components/different code between the Beta and Version 2015.10.2.2218
I don't believe you can 'just alter an .ini file or change a Registry entry'

I am sure there are changes, but so far the Beta is running just fine. It would just be a bit of work to go back to V2218 ... you would think Avast would put an option in program UI to select either the Beta or Release Channels for updates. ... Perhaps this idea should be sent on to the Avast Coding Group ? ? ?
