Well I'm just getting used to the new GUI also. You have to just take your time and go through the whole UI.
I'm not at the laptop now but I think if you Click on SCAN at the top of the Home/Main GUI there should be a drop down menu visable with all the available scans if you click on it ( I think??)

updated to 11.1.2241 from 10.4.2233 and I think there might be a bug? when I try to email a link using windows live mail from firefox browser I get an error that file WLDCORE.DLL could not be found or shared? went back to avast version 10.4.2233 and everything works fine, tried disabling shields and error still occurs, this is happening on machines with Windows 7 Professional 64b and Windows 7 Ultimate 64b, my Windows 7 Home work ok as well as xp. Wonder if anyone else is experiencing this?

Running the latest version but when I do a manual Program update, I get the following:

If I select the update under Essential update, I get the following:

This bug has been there since the last Beta version of Avast 2016.

Like just about any new feature, there seem to be major bugs in the new Password thing.  After supposedly setting it up properly for Firefox, including deleting the browser's saved passwords and removing permission for Firefox to save new entries, on only one occasion did it properly provide a good new password.  And the box where it offers to do so often won't permit any entry, but instead shows a number in a circle -- on one occasion it actually changed my user-name instead of the password. 

After a few hours the Password icon mysteriously disappeared from the Firefox toolbar and I was totally unable to access it.

I suspect the problem may tie in with the almost simultaneous update of Firefox (to 42.0) and an unexpected incompatibility between the new versions of each.  I've mostly recovered by disabling the Passwords extension (avast still shows it as integrated with the browser, interestingly) and restoring a backup profile, which at least gives me most of my old passwords back into Firefox.  Still can't get logged into Amazon or my ISP's customer service ("incorrect" username-password combo in both cases), although the latter will on request do the cleanup from their end.

Interesting situation with the toolbar icon. It it tested to work well with both Firefox 41 and 42 under normal circumstances. Could it have happened that the add-on got uninstalled or disabled during the update to 42?

Regarding the "good new passwords", it might be just a different expectation from some feature. It would be great if you could provide screenshots.

Hi. You need to click on "Update" under the heading of "Essential Update" NOT "Essential update + internet security. My best guess is that this is a bug, because I don't use beta version at all. After you click on udpate it will just check if you have/don't have the latest version

I'm getting the same error on gmail using Firefox.  No error message using IE 11. No problem with Windows Live Mail.

For a "smart guy" you aren't too smart. Do you really think I'm that stupid. Maybe it's a language barrier.
To Avast, the problem still needs to be fixed.  Thanks

Using Avast IS, checking for a manual update shows the following:

Selecting updates gives the following results:

I just notice the RC3 is now Avast 2016 R1, no wonder there is no notification of the program update

Working fine so far, since the release of RC3

This is exactly the confusion I mentioned when they keep the same build number as the last RC build. A new release should always have a new build number even if nothing has changed.

The trouble is, and it has been alluded to by many posters, builds beyond 2218 have a "heavier" effect
on the general system response.  Especially noticeable on older systems.

So has anybody with a vista 32 bit system tried Avast 2016? Have they fixed the computer freezing while browsing problem?

What happened to the Virus Chest in the new version 11.1.2241? Can't find it anywhere...
