Avast! acted strange few days ago, and I was told to come here
« on: February 27, 2016, 01:56:15 PM »
Hello everyone, I came from this topic: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=183488.0

I will attach the logs.

If there's anything wrong with the logs, please tell me.

Thank you.

PS: MBAM.txt is the Malwarebytes log. FRST have 2 logs: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.

Hi, that looks a nice clean system :)

However, you do appear to have more safe zone tasks set to run than I would expect

Have the settings reset themselves again or are they behaving ?

May I ask what do you mean with "more safe zone tasks set to run than you would expect"?

Also, the settings didn't change again until now (they may change, if that happens, I will report it).

Hmm, I really don`t know why.
Maybe  because I made a lot of repairs to Avast?
I really have no idea why, do you have any suggestion?

I can remove them and then Avast will repopulate when needed

Depends, I don't really mind the auto updates, if you think this will be important, then sure, let's do this.

Besides that, any other problem that you noticed? Any other scan needed?

That's really good to hear, I really thought that even by being extremely paranoid, I would still be infected.
So, just to end this thread, what do you think that caused the bugs in Avast? Was it some kind of software bug?

Ok, if I got the idea, then it was probably just an Avast bug?
Sorry about that, but my English is not my first language, and I never saw this (possibly) expression.
