13 minutes into installation and I'm still stuck at 1/4 of a taskbar popup installation. What the hell is going on. Even stable version was taking stupendously long and this BETA is 10 times worse. I've already sent logs to Pavel Šuk on Slack. It's almost 0:30 in the morning and I have to go to sleep. I'll leave the thing do its thing. I wonder if it'll be complete in the morning when I have to leave for work. This isn't right, not on the system I have where it should take few seconds, not minutes...

Thanks Karel, testing...

No big issue, but FYI, the tray icon doesn't animate anymore.

I personally want to see the icon animation. It let's me know Avast is doing it's job.

+1

Something that used to be unique to Avast and useful that has gone, things that used to stand out from the crowd.  More junkware (non security related) added when useful/unique features get removed.

[Alikhan]

I don't think it has been removed but rather just a bug that will be fixed in a future update...

Let me say this: if I would have done my work that way, I would have got fired!
