Behavior blocker stop working on Windows 7

[NON]

I confirm Behavior Shield stops scanning on my friend's Windows 7 Pro computer (maybe 32bit) with avast 5 Free latest.

Exact same as Tech said, Monthly statistics shows some activity until about two weeks ago (sorry I don't remember exactly), Yearly / Weekly / Daily statistics doesn't show any activity.

BS works properly on my Vista computer.


... Does this symptom have some relation with AMD CPU / ATI graphic-card + Windows 7 ? I can see this happens only with either hardware
My friend's has AMD Sempron CPU.
Mistake, sorry

Can anybody from avast team acknowledge that there is a problem in Behav Shield?

Acknowledgment please!

Should we start a poll?

I don't see what a poll would achieve that 47 posts (so far) in this topic hasn't.

You would have to be asking more than a simple question in the poll:
1. is the Behaviour Shield working for you.
2. what OS are you using (especially important for those where it isn't working)
3. if 32/64bit OS version.

Since this forums software doesn't have the ability for multiple/complex questions, a poll won't give all the answers.

It already looks like win7 32&64bit versions is the OS effected from the posts in this topic. That said, I would have though that there would be lots of win7 systems at Avast which would have been showing this issue.

Thanks David. You've understood me. I think a thread is enough... It was a rhetorical question.

No "looks like", please. We need an acknowledgment. It's enough.

No, Behavior Shield has always worked for me.

Sorry, about the confusion, but Craig is right. I forgot this was a W7 problem from reading too many posts, I guess.   

Thanks for noticing that, Craig.

Hey Tech, try installing the new pre release build and see if it fixes your problems with the Behavior Shield, and BSODS (If it really is a problem with avast).

Nothing was done in version 5.0.656 to correct this 

[CraigB]

I to can confirm that nothing has changed in the showing of behavior statistic's for me either in new version 5.0.565.

You have to click on "show traffic history". Then the activity shows or click on statistics at the top under Summary and choose the Behavior Shield..

[CraigB]

Dch48 the problem is not that we can't find the statistic's it's more to the fact there is no behavioral statistic's to be seen, all other stat's work just not this one. Would be hard for you to view this problem as it is only happening on windows 7 as it seem's so far.

I have the same problem on my Windows 7 system.  :'(
An acknowledgement from staff that they are aware of the problem and that it's being worked on would be nice.
