Avast Beta 17.4.2294

Erm, another Chrome ad, this time in the SU...

[DavidR]

I'm in luck, no Chrome ad for me.

Lucky you..!

Lucky you..!

I generally have no problem with the ad in the bottom quarter of the UI main page,  but to start shoving them in other sections of the UI is I believe a step too far.

With popup ads, the one in the main page of the UI and now in other UI pages, isn't going to endear the user to purchase (or install) what is being rammed down their throats.

Why all this pushing of Chrome - money? I wouldn't ever use Chrome itself - possibly Vivaldi or another derivative at a push..

I have however found another bug (the Invisible Smart Scan), after boot I opened the UI to check if the same issue as yours was present but mine was OK.

I did however notice that there was the Red circle with '1' over the Bell (notifications), clicking that it reports Smart Scan - 'We found some issues.' Well I never ran a Smart Scan and as per previous issue No Report in Scan History or entry in the log file.

Hi Dave, can't reproduce this one. The funny thing is, I don't get any notifications after running a scan at all.
Wonder, if this is another bug or just a sloppy workaround for the smart-scan rescan issue...

I meanwhile can confirm the issue.

A good sign (bad for you though) perhaps avast might be able to replicate it.

That's the weird thing there is no on-screen indication that a Smart Scan ran (presumably because it didn't), just the Notification entry when you next open the UI after a reboot.

 IDP still conflict with Mactype , unable exclude from IDP scanning.

Found a GUI bug, see screenshot. (German GUI)

Confirmed here, too. I have 4 of them.
As each of their settings have certain path in the "Scan Areas" section, it looks like a remnant of context menu (Windows Explorer) scan in the past.

Hi NON, seems you're on the right track. Cheers.

Mine appears fine as I hadn't done a context scan in some time.

After rebooting the system, the entry/bug (Reply #6) is gone. (Didn't try to reproduce it yet)

OK, just tried it again and this bug is reproducible.

Note: This bug has been fixed, just reboot you system. Cheers.

Note: This bug has been fixed, just reboot you system. Cheers.

Thanks for that I'm not on my 17.4.2294 system right now but will start it up when I get back.

[Asyn]

You're welcome Dave. Cheers.

[DavidR]

You're welcome Dave. Cheers.

I have started my avast 17.4.2294 XP Pro system, I ran the avast emergency update function for good measure and then rebooted.

I can now confirm that the Invisible Smart Scan in the Notifications area when you open the avastUI bug has been squashed.

That's a tough call, there seems to be more issues in the regular release than there was in the beta.
