Just finished upgrading AIS to latest version, 18.5.2342. Bug in Avast Shields Control reporting 1 shield inactive now fixed.
Thanks bob3160 for reporting issue with Avast SecureLine Beta being vamoosed and VPN feature in AIS being automatically installed despite using Custom Install and unchecking this before beginning install; Confirmed.
Licensing issue (conflict) between single-use stand-alone beta and paid-for VPN (AIS) still needs to be addressed Cannot run two separate systems online at the same time, one with beta vpn, the other paid vpn.)
As always, did a clean install, never do an over-the-top install or online install.
Nice job.
[EDIT:] Updated second system to latest version.
Only two glitches:
- Install for Google Chrome had box already ticked for install
- A file called avastremediation.exe needed to be allowed to run at then end of install
A clean install was also done on this system, allowing Windows Defender to run again between uninstall and install of AIS.
