Enjoy this beta!
We are looking forward to your feedback.

Also please be informed that we would appreciate if you would be so kind and try our Antivirus product based on so called "icarus" setup (installation and update engine) already used for other Avast products but now available also for AV. More information is here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=264883.0.
Please note that in order to get it, you need to uninstall the current one (automatic migration is not supported at the moment).

Firewall tabs have been reordered for better access to what's important

Hi, are you sure this is already included..!? Can't see/find any difference here...

Hi, I am sure it missed the first beta of 22.1 Sorry for that. But you can see this next week.

Included now.

In the past it was possible to cancel the installation by ESC button - it killed the installation process. This is now disabled.

Yes, I can confirm that in some cases the notification is still not displayed correctly. Please wait for next beta build - there will be another fix included. Can you please let us know it it helps? Thank you.
