[REDACTED]

Why the online installer size is different in your main website? Avast free antivirus's installer size is 4.8 MB in your main website (redirects to cnet) and here its 6 MB (links you posted here).

I would never recommend using an on-line stub installer.
I believe CNet have their own download tool, which presumably also contains the avast stub installer.

As this is a regular release what is wrong with using the avast program update in the Avast User Interface.

@ Avast team

Would it be possible to bring back the VPS notifications and sound for it?

You can leave it disabled by default but at least give the user an option...

Hi,

With this latest release (12.1.2272) the boot time when the Windows logo appears loading is extremely large in my Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bits. Previously I did a clean install and the same results. With the previous version there were no problems. Any solution?

Thanks.

Nice to have another update but it's a shame that Remote Assistance is gone because i used it
to help my mother with her computer troubles

Maybe time to move to TeamViewer

Thank's for the sugestion

CyberCapture only works with threat from web according to beta topics.
To me your screenshot seems to be traditional DeepScreen.
NG is removed now, but traditional DeepScreen seems to be still on the job.

The interface is identical to deepscreen. only change enable scans for potentially unwanted programs PUPs and Filerep.Hips kept the default setting and it did not see action during the test.

I just realized after 8+ months trying to fiqure out why my boot time went from 10 seconds to 45+, I for the longest time thought it was Windows 10 1151 cause before that boot time were fine....

I just after OCD kicked in to  trying fiqure this out again.  I removed Avast, and I saw my 45+ seconds boot time drop to like less then 10.... I gona try this new build the claims faster boot time and see what happens.

well I install this build and  first reboot after install  Boot times went from 10 seconds to 45+.

Avast is causing this not windows 10

Hello,

Can you add an option to add the files to the exclusion list from the scan results and not only from the virus chest?

Also I experienced a bug in the previous stable version of avast! under Windows 8.1 x64 where the files which I added to the exclusion list manually disappeared from the list and the list became empty. This happened 3 times and I was bored to add the files again and again to the exclusion and then I decided to remove avast and to switch to another program.

Thanks!

Regards,
Georgi

It hasbeen removed since it will be getting re-designed in a future update due to issues with high CPU and RAM usage from it.
