Each year I look forward to the avast beta test(s) since I enjoy "bug hunting".
This year there wasn't as many bugs as in the past. Pretty boring beta test this year.
Not for me from the 10.4.x and 2016 betas have been the worst for me in over eleven years of avast.
System lock-ups, HTTPS browsing (uk.yahoo.com and the forums being the main areas effected), memory errors when using MS Excel, I have stopped MBAM Premium, to make sure there is no possibility for conflict.
I have also suffered from the system not seeming to come out of sleep - just have my background (just blue colour) displayed. Mouse works (wireless laser), keyboard doesn't, with one exception the shutdown button.
These problems occurred at an early stage and and none appears to have been completely resolved. System lock-ups have lessened, but haven't gone away completely.
