Avast AV Beta-Version [18.3.2331]

Changelog/Fixes:
• Problems with starting the Behavior Shield service
• Problems with showing components based on subscription state (as mentioned below)
• A few program crashes reported over the client

Known issues:
• Sensitive Data Shield component is not enabled after upgrade from Free to higher edition (Internet Security or Premier)
• Non-licensed components (usually available for higher edition) may be visible in the Settings → Components
• Shredder and Sandbox items may not be visible in the context menu (although those components are installed and functional)
• Avast Passwords:
   » Passwords are not deleted from Avast Secure Browser after successful import
   » Missing support of Avast Secure Browser in extension installation toaster
   » When user imports logins from individual browsers we wrongly report status of pending login deletion for one browser regardless overall status

Hinweis: We are tuning product behavior when subscription is expired. The main impacted component is User Interface and the way the components are shown as well as enabled/disabled. There could be problems like component you have licensed is not shown at all, is not enabled, is still enabled once subscription expired or you can see components available for higher edition etc. Most of the issues have been resolved but still we would be thankful for any report related to this.
