AVAST 2015 R4 (2015.10.4.2233)

[Be Secure]

Not exactly phishing but it will show that the site has bad reputation. For phishing sites we use external source, but that's a good idea to include also user input. We just need to be careful to avoid competition wars ;-))

So give it on Avast! GUI.

@MartinZ: You have to improve phishing etection by alot

How about just developing a self-learning Cloud that automatically learns about new malwares and adds detections for it, like Trend Micro, but for EVERYTHING:

Websites, Files,Mails, Behavior Blocker, Heuristics, Dyna-Gen, DeepScreen, etc.

And that for ALL Versions: Windows, Mac, Android,Linux and whatever OS will be on the market in the next years

Intel 925 duo core vista 32bit with 2GB ram. Having lockups where the computer just stops responding while browsing, no HDD activity, the keyboard and mouse no longer responding, whatever is on the display remains, and clock stops indicating time advancing. Power boot to get computer back. I have again gone back to version 2015.10.2.2218. When I installed 2015 R4 (2015.10.4.2233) scan disk was working and only after 3 days of use did the computer lockup while browsing. This new version seems to have the same browsing lockup problem as did the previous version AVAST 2015 R3 SP1 (2015.10.3.2225). I have not had this problem with version 2015.10.2.2218.

I have noticed exactly the same issue than busp1 : Vista SP2 is freezing during browsing since
AVAST version 2015.10.2.2218.

This version is incompatible with windows 10 build 10547

A flashing white screen occurs on the majority of boots and a hard reset is the only way to clear it
IE 11 and Edge are unusable as the hyperlinks fail to work
Command prompt hangs both as user and admin

Try CTRL, Alt, Del. key combo the next time that happens.
When you see the sign in screen and you apparently can't type in it, again use CTRL, Alt, Del. 
You'll then be able to sign in and shouldn't have any more problems after that.

No I do not get to the sign in screen (bypassed on my system)
I get a flashing white screen cntrl-alt-del does nothing only a hard reset cures it.  I may have to do that two or three times before I can boot 

I have used all my knowledge to try and resolve this and the only thing that does is removal of Avast

When will the Avast 2016 Beta be released?

I cant wait!!

I think That says a lot!

I'm not having any more problems with Avast on my Windows 10 build 10547.
Even the problems I had with Office 2013 disappeared once I ran a repair of  Office 2013.
I also bypass the login screen but, when the white screen problem first appeared, using CTRL, ALT DEL.
brought me to a sign in screen except the ability to type on that screen was not possible.
Using CTRL, ALT, DEL again made the sign in possible.
Once signed in, I again used the netplwiz run command to bypass the sign in screen.

I haven't had any problems since.

OK I will re-install once again .. Are you using the free version Bob ?  I may try that before I go back to AIS

Yes Martin. I use the free version of Avast.

[essexboy]

OK free going on

[bob3160]

OK free going on

I may just try an upgrade to IS since I have some free licenses at my disposal.
Will see if that gives me a headache like the one you had.

That turned out to be an exercise and a half. I finally managed to get everything working but.....
