Only "issue" I caught is that even after updating via Settings, main UI shows nothing about Restart needed.
Can't confirm it, I got the usual pop-up. (Screenshot attached)
I got this too. But Main UI (when you open Avast) does not show anything about restart required. It used to show it.

I see. I didn't check it, but I will have a look at the main GUI after the next beta update. Cheers.

I asked Petr Kurtin ( one of the Avast Head Developers ) why "Status monitoring" was removed in this Beta, but he has no idea either.

Thanks for that, looks more like an omission/accident. Hopefully we will see it return soon.

Nice :)
All in all, I think it has to do with the missing Status monitoring.

What happened to Status monitoring :o
Avast - Settings - General - Status monitoring
It is not available anymore ...
Confirmed. It's gone. :-\

Hi yes status monitoring was removed as the system of warning messages has been changed. Now you can Ignore specific messages directly on the dashboard. The ignored warnings can be later found in the notification center.

Does this mean that the user won't see that a shield is disabled if the AvastUI is not opened?

No it doesn't mean that. The behavior of the systray icon stays the same. So in case a shield is turned off user will be notified by yellow mark on the systray icon, then UI opens with details why it's yellow. And with an option to ignore such warning.

I just tested it, but it doesn't warn when "Ransomware shield" and "Real site" are disabled.

Hi Red, it works for me, see screenshots. Cheers.

Edit: I may correct myself, I did test it with behavior shield, it doesn't show up if ransomware protection is disabled (Real Site not installed).

Surely that was the point of the status monitoring, to allow the user to disable notification on certain components in advance of any warning. Previously I believe the Behaviour Shield status monitoring option was off by default, how then would we know if an option was disabled for a shield ?

I had also unchecked the Program Update status monitoring option in this current beta session as I had many BSODs on one of the beta builds and decided to drop back to the last stable beta.

So are you saying that once you get the warning for the first time you can elect to ignore that for all time ?
If so how would the user reverse and temporary use of the status monitoring option in the past.

Or are you going to have to ignore it every time, which doesn't seem very intuitive to me.

The new "ignore" feature does not remember what shields is ignored.
i.e. Once Behav shield got ignored, Mail shield will get ignored too.

Also, "Unignore" does not work for me.
