2281-Clean install

[Para-Noid]

1) Browser Security/AOS wouldn't install via the GUI. Gets to about 90% installed then got stuck.
2) Had to do a clean install. Did not install the AOS extension.
3) Clean install took f-o-r-e-v-e-r. (Used offline installer).
4) Custom install has every selection ticked. Should have the basic items only ticked, not every single item.

Good point....No longer need to register. Auto-registered during install.

A custom install has always shown every item ticked, that's the reason for custom so you can untick

[Para-Noid]

If I remember correctly v5 thru v8 did not. Just the basic protection was ticked.
Then again I could be wrong.

There should be a drop-down list of three installation types:
Recommended (virtually everything), Minimal (all shields less the mail shield) and Custom, which as Craig mentioned has all boxes checked.

These options (installation types) have been available from avast 12.2.xxxx I believe hopefully they would still be there in 2281. I can't say for certain as I'm waiting on this beta as I think it really is work in progress.

EDIT: As far as I can remember Custom installs always had everything checked (not many times when I did a clean install), mainly because I normally do a minimal install and had to uncheck those options I didn't want.

Yeah Think Custom installs always had everything checked, it did on 12.3.2280 just a few moments ago, tried the beta twice on this Windows 10 Pro X64 System, this time corrupted my entire user account, so opted for a PC Reset, and choose to install 12.3 this time.    Really a working in progress right now,  Still have Windows.0ld folder though, if I can find the memory dump in there, would that be helpful to Submit to Avast Developrs?

Stop error stated Memory Management when it crashed

Guess my memory went with my hair.
