my DNS issues aren't resolved https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=179243.msg1268668#msg1268668

Name resolution for the name domrep.ff.avast.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

I'm not sure if this occurred earlier, but right clicking the try icon and selecting 'Show last popup message' fails to show said message, in this case an Ad/Enticement/Welcome Gift of some sort.

I generally don't go clicking buttons like this being a trusting sort (NOT), my main concern is for other instances of popup not being redisplayed.  I had already done an image capture, but I was going to investigate further (click the darn button), but to no avail.

Not sure why the welcome gift even arrived having installed this beta over the top of 11.1.2241.

Updated over previous beta. Thanks for the update

Can anybody please pay attention to resolve this issue: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=178643.msg1264531#msg1264531 ?

When thefinalversion of avast! came out of beta section or i can use this beta version instead of public version(11.1.2241)? I am so confused :-\Pls tell me.

[DavidR]

This question has been asked and answered many times in the beta sub-forum and the answer hasn't changed.

When the final release is available your program will get that update.

Because you have used a beta version, as and when the next beta session happens you will get that too.

@ Be Secure

Only major releases, like Avast 2016, are planned to a date by Avast, for marketing reasons.
Updates are not planned to a date, except for example this year's Avast update prior to - and compatible with Windows 10.

And also for us, the Evangelists, releases/updates are always a surprise, as Avast doesn't tell us either.
That said : Sometimes an Avast Developer gives us a hint, but that is really an exception.

So there is no point in asking these questions over and over again, as they can/will not been answerd
