New Beta version 18.1.2325

[bob3160]

Shell extension scan (scan option in mouse right click menu) is not showing progress in UI correctly sometimes - We would really appreciate your feedback with exact reproduction steps. Thank you.

Please elaborate how we should test this exactly...

Some possible scenarios for example:

1) You have Avast UI opened and select some file/folder to be scanned from shell extension menu
2) You have Avast UI closed and select some file/folder to be scanned from shell extension menu

You can try the same file/folder once/more times, try different files/folders for each attempt.

Is the progress of the scan displayed every time? Are there results of the scan available? Is the scan even finished for each file/folder?

Etc.

I don't see any problem: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cFnhX8oB4H

OK Jan, tested it as suggested above...
Result: It sometimes works and sometimes it won't.
Couldn't find any obvious pattern, sorry.

My beta avast unknowingly turned into stable build, what happened? I tried to update to this version and found it want to update to stable one...

This might happen when servers.def gets corrupted or otherwise is not available. Avast then downloads new servers.def from hardcoded fallback URL which points to release one. That in fact switches update channel to release one.

OK, thanks for the answer. I reinstalled beta on it and back to beta stream.
