New Product Testing: New installer and updater for Avast Antivirus

[lukas.munduch]

Hi guys, today we published new AV 21.4.6266.562 build to this BETA channel. Can you please wait for automatic application update or start update manually and let us know in case of any issue? (last ".562" number in version can be changed after some time when we release some micro-update) Thank you

Got 21.4.6266.0 via auto-update. Coming faster than expected.
I can confirm "10 minutes" works as it should. No new issue for now.

Hi Lukas, is it on purpose that version# and build# are the same now or is it a bug..?

Hi Asyn, it is not bug. AV based on current/old (Instup) setup uses two versions in AV UI. For example 21.4.2464 (build 21.4.6266). New (Icarus) setup currently uses only single version so there is for example 21.4.6266 (build 21.4.6266.0) in AV UI. On the other hand we know that showing two almost identical versions in UI (only last number can differ) is not ideal so we will discuss it/adjust it. Thank you for your report

Hello, according to your screenshots it seems that you are running AV on older (Instup) setup and not on new (Icarus) setup we are testing here but its OK. if you send me your application logs I will resend them to proper team. Can you please collect and share all files from these folders? Thank you

You can also use our "Avast Support Tool" for collecting logs. See more info here: https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/33/

Hello nadimmahmudkitkat1, I have this information for you

1) problem with "0000000-0" VPS version in AV UI - its already reported problem in our bug tracking system and hopefully it will be fixed soon
2) problem with activating AntiTrack subscription - its already reported problem in our bug tracking system. We are waiting for fix
3) unfortunately I still have no information related to your FW issue. I would recommend you to try uninstall your current AV and install it again. It might help
4) I am afraid that I can not help you with high system resources usage of AntiTrack app. Can I ask you to report this issue to AntiTrack forum: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=97.0

I would also like to inform you that your AV is NOT running on our new installer we are testing here so it would be better to report issues like these here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0 (forum section for our production users). There are more people watching that forum and who can help you better than I can do here

I'm sorry I don't have better news for you

Hi, FYI - I noticed that Icarus downloads around 120MB+ daily but doesn't update anything.

Hi, is it possible that this is regular virus database update? If not, can you please collect and share icarus logs with me?

Thank you

@lucas.munduch,
I'm still getting the daily notice that the program needs to update and there aren't any further updates.
Selecting to do the updates does nothing except change my status from unsafe to safe.
You already have my logs. Any new information? Thanks

Yep, it seems so. But why would it need to download over 120 MB daily for a VPS update..!? Smells like a bug...
