Hands up... But it's very surprising to me...

Any feedback on the keyboard controls?

just a correction, to compare apple to apple, I'm redoing it (with "select folder to scan") with storing data for persistence cache activated (wasn't checked last time and I thought it was) on the same folder (winsxs), so CPU now is 65~70°C ... that still make a huge difference with before, more than acceptable now.

works fine with this letter system, I just tried it. Guess that's for people having difficulties using the mouse, right ?... (I'm not sarcastic, I really believe it's meant that way)

The internal update to .454 seems to broke down virtualisation. It is simply not possible anymore to virtualise anything from the explorer - and the Avast! menu :'( I am going to try a repair, and if needed an install from scratch. I will report back ...

I have checked most of the keyboard controls and they are working very good, I like this since I like to use them very much in my computer...

Greetz, Red.

confirming, virtualization is broken. No sandbox folder is created (I can see it with recovery software, scanning non-deleted files), no process appears virtualized in the avast interface when one is supposed to run :o

edit: the list of permanently virtualized programs in expert settings is broken too, it doesn't retain anything.
edit: settings for the red frame and safe locations detection aren't retained either

Repair + reboot doesn't solve it.

Vlk, do you want me to try an install from scratch, or something else ?

You can certainly try to reinstall. It seem to be working fine here on my two systems though (Vista and W7).
PK should be able to tell us more.

Thanks

I can't run processes virtualized under Vista either; did an upgrade.  Right clicking or running from tab both don't make it happen.

still broken after reinstalling from scratch, just like I described it in my last post above, with the exception that the two options (frame and locations) are retained now, but the list doesn't retain anything, and the explorer command doesn't work either.

Yep, I can confirm that Logos. An install from scratch of .454 doesn't solve it either ...

Greetz, Red.


P.S. I am going to bed now. To Peter : If you need help ( logs from ProcessMonitor ? ) you can email me :)

Updated to .454...

Installed .477...Only one thing to note...

On the reboot I opened avast! and saw that it was saying the VPS was out of date, but now it says the same one is in fact correct... (100305-0)
I presume just a small glitch...

Happened again...reported the vps was out of date, and then reported the same was correct, see images, taken within a few seconds of each other...

Some other things:

- The 'Scan results' still don't minimise correctly: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53983
- The simple simple shield settings are too easily turned off (IMHO): http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=56249.0

Vlk, any comments?

-Scott-

p.s. Yes I noticed I wrote 477 instead of 447 ;D
