Hello, 3 issues with Avast since yesterday's update:
1) On my main PC I manually clicked - Update - Program and new version 21.3.2459 (build 21.3.6164.561) started installing
- during install, Avast popped up virus threat - blocking itself - uninstaller in Avast folder (cannot tell you the exact name, it is not in history once removed from chest)
- blocked it, then checked virus chest what it actually is, what's the location and whitelisted + added exception
- during this whole time
Avast locked itself up (looped) with this "virus" warning and whatever you did, pop-up warning was there all the time
- I had to restart PC to get rid of it => seems solved, except part 3 of issue
2) Dad's PC - seems like yesterday Avast tried to update in the background and since yesterday dad
couldnt launch any app at all - my logic explanation is Avast experienced similar issue like myself and it locked itself up, but because he doesn't have manual decision pop-up warnings enabled, he didn't even know it was Avast all along, PC restart didn't help
- tried to uninstall via Programs and Features - failed, it doesn't do anything because Avast is stalling any process launched, Avast service also couldn't be stopped via services.msc / Task Manager
- had to boot up in Safe Mode - uninstall Avast through Programs and Features, restart => solved the issue, Windows and all apps work normally since then3) Took me some time to figure out the culprit, but since yesterday if I have Avast shields on, I cannot launch Diablo 3 at all, black screen, then trying to connect to server - D3
app stops responding and I have to shut it down.
- when I disable Avast shields, it works fine.
(Also tried x86 version and D3 x86 works ok, just D3 x64 is broken with Avast shields up)
My PC Win10 20H2 build 19042.867
Dad's PC Win7
This needs to be addressed asap, because if my assumption is correct, it is f**k up big time
- Avast basically tries to "update" itself in the background and makes PC unusable
