** NEW (RC?) PRE-RELEASE REFRESH 6.0.1035 IS HERE **

[dagrev]

I just updated and no BSOD (at least not yet) on Win 7 64bit.

I updated through the UI and not a clean install.

nmb, I am in the same boat...win 7 64bit, 6.0.1035.
Script shield scans nothing, even when WMP is opened.

Eh... I posted that since people still think that Script Shield is supposed to scan JavaScript. You apparently didn't get the point, never mind.

[spg SCOTT]

I know it scans things other than js...but you are not getting the point. IT DOESN'T WORK. clear enough?

Just from the last 24 hours running XP and Avast free 6.0.1035:

We had that with 6.0.1021 with the script shield and XP, this was cleared up and worked with 6.0.1027, but now we are back to where we wee with build 6.0.1021. Other than if you run WMP, which I have completely removed from XP now.

What's the issue with WMP?  Has it been fixed in this release?

I'm seeing script shield activity as well when i look at the expanded view...And yes it has scanned scripts since i installed the new build this morning...Comparable to what is shown in previous days on the old build.

Avast 6.0.1035, i3  2.13Ghz, Win7 64 SP1, Firefox 4.0

just on a side note because I'm not really interested by the feature, I just re-installed AIS from scratch (latest beta) and WebRep was immediately present in Firefox 4, with both the toolbar icon up and running + a rating in front of each entry on a Google search page

 Okay this said my main grievance about Avast 6 is that at least on my system - as others don't seem to complain about that - slows down Google Chrome especially. Chrome being my default browser, that's a bit annoying. No such issue with IE9 and FF4.

[Hermite15]

I got a strange latency when loading pages in FF4. Not sure if WebRep is responsible. Pages actually don't take more time to load as it usually happens when it lags, it's the loading that just stops one second in the middle of the process before resuming.

edit: no it's not webrep, I just disabled it and restarted FF4, no change... no idea where that comes from it just started after a new AIS install, and I haven't modified any default setting yet.

+1 It doesn't work or it doesn't show in the statistics/logs.

[dagrev]

Script Shield has scanned 6 things (I don't use IE).  (Nothing has ever been in the logs, so I'm guessing that a log is only written if something is wrong, which seems normal.)

[Hermite15]

first full scan is taking too long to complete; it use to take 40 minutes here, now it's already been 52 minutes since I started it and it's not over...

edit: finish with 54 min +  an error on Thunderbird, it was running during the scan but that's happened before with no such error.

Here it took 22:15 mins to scan 60 GB of data. How much data do you have?

[boombastik]

Here full scan with pup on took 38:00 min in 90 gb data.
Withought any errors.
