Outlook crash issue
« on: December 28, 2017, 11:52:47 AM »
Update:

29. 12. 2017 12:30 CET fix via uupdate channel has been released.

Fix is applied to all users automatically during 12h, during update process or during fresh installation.




Hello,

we are sorry about hearing of crashing Outlook due to Avast outlook plugin.
This version has been 5 weeks in beta channel for testing and no one from our beta users complained about this problem.

For those having a problem we have a temporary solution now. Proper fix is in development.

As a temporary solution please install older version of our product:

Download links:
- Avast Free http://public.avast.com/~vanek/17.8/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
- Avast Pro http://public.avast.com/~vanek/17.8/avast_pro_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
- Avast Internet Security - http://public.avast.com/~vanek/17.8/avast_internet_security_setup_offline.exe
- Avast Premier - http://public.avast.com/~vanek/17.8/avast_premier_antivirus_setup_offline.exe

How to install:
- download Avast version
- uninstall previous version of Avast
- disconnect temporary from network
- start Avast installation and install Avast
- open Avast UI | settings | Update | set Program update to option - Ask when update available
- connect to network again

We are sorry about troubles again. Proper fix will be out soon. We will inform you here.

thank you,

What a waste of time to have to go through forums to get some answer to a question asked days ago to support without the slightest answer, not even a confirmation of reception >:(
That's what I call no support.
I have one year left of licence and will probably upgrade my avg tuneup to full security including what avast does less and less efficiently

Thanks
That explain a lot. In that kind of deal generally a product is gradually replaced by the other.
And some signs, when you have both can give you a hint. Avg has a support which answers and react so....

I too have issue with this "temporary fix". I would like to know HOW LONG it will take to get this bug ironed out. I too made both a telephone call complaint and a complaint through the avast UI issue link, and nothing. No reply, nothing. When I called in, i got some guy that treated me like I was an idiot and know nothing about computers or software telling me they knew of no issue (and this was a couple days after my initial complaints and online forums were filling daily with complaints about the issue).

better service would be appreciated regarding the fact your customers are being treated like mushrooms (kept in the dark and being fed poo poo).

You need more and/or more diverse beta users.

Doesn't Avast also test on several different types of software installed systems ???

Outlook 2016 crashes on my Win 10 machine and disables the add in.
On my Win 7 - Outlook 2010   It disabled and took the icons off the toolbar.

This is not good at all.

Hello,
thank you for fix, although for me nothing changed yet. I have program update set to manual so it need program update to fix this problem or it will be fixed by VPS/Emergency updater automaticaly? Change this fix version number? Thank you.

where is this fix?? I am so disgusted I am looking for another antivirus at this point - every program update screws up my outlook 2010- this time so bad it is barely functioning and i have spent hours applying other fixes, re-installs ETC

TERRIBLE SUPPORT as well.
