It seems like avast! doesn't even do proper DeepScreening. Tried two of my custom apps and they both finished "analyzing" in 1 second. Which is VERY unusual.

That very strange RejZoR and I have the same as you finished "analyzing" in 1 second is kinda worries me

1. Is this update going to give me the same features and a usable UI?
2. Am I going to end up with just another advertising display app regardless of my paid subscription?

1. Yes.
2. No.

No need to go back. Avast is addressing this as explained here:

The reason it worries me is because I've NEVER seen DeepScreen finishing the analysis in such short time.

I've also seen it happen in 1 second.. it doesn't seem right...

I have installed Avast Free 11.1.2253 over Avast Free 11.1.2245 on two Windows 7 systems and one Windows 8.1 system, all 64-bit.  I used the downloaded installer and have experienced no problems at update installation or since.

None of my systems incorporate VMWare virtualisation.  They are all bog standard Windows installations so am I likely to see Deep Screening problems?

Nope.

Did the upgrade today and now nothing can see my computer on the network.  Help?   Running W7.  I can see another W7 computer that hasn't been upgraded but that computer can't see me.  Also have a Windows XP computer on the network; Win XP can see the non-upgraded W7 computer but not me.

Update...never mind.  Checked the event log; saw that some Avast services had problems starting on reboot after install; rebooted again (?), all is well.

Hi guys

What I forgot to tell you :

With the last Beta, and so also with this release, the Avast "Always run in sandbox" icon has been fixed.
It was a minor bug, but nevertheless

Greetz, Red.

Avast free up and going perfectly well for me here!

Latest update keeps crashing my machine at restart or shutdown. Running windows 10 x64. I've been able to replicate the problem. After removing avast windows goes back to normal. This also happens after fresh install. Running only the basic addons file, web, mail shields, and browser protection, network protection.

I'm having the same problem. When I restart, Windows 10 shows that spinning circle and eventually the animation just stops and freezes. The only way to get back into Windows is to power down because otherwise it'll just stay stuck at that frozen circle. Another problem I had with this version is that I couldn't put my computer to sleep properly. It would turn off my screen, but the fans and everything else were still running and there would be no way to turn my screen back on. Once again I had to power down. Uninstalled 2016.11.1.2253 and all is good again.

Q: just installed this newest version on my VISTA, animated icon not working like it did before. Do I have a NAFU or is this now the normal?
TIA

It should be enabled.

Confirm that it is set to animate - avastUI > Settings > General > Show Avast tray icon - 'Animate the icon when scanning.'
