** INTRODUCING: NEW BETA VERSION OF AVAST - NOW 6.0.1279 **

[gdiloren]

Strange, sometimes I have the notification pop-up at virus definition updates upon booting, sometimes I don't but my virus definitions are updated. A bug?   

[igor]

Maybe it gets updated before you log on?

Something like that! Before I log on, there is no internet connection.
edit: That happens between log on and completed reboot!

In connection wirt the new pop-up "more info..." topic. A "more info..." link would be good for this windows as well.

If I miss to click the pop-up window, or just get information manually about the a virus database file.

It looks like 1273 is pretty good perhaps it's time to re-install Avast again
Unless of course there is another beta coming - any news

Script shield is going mad at http://www.bbc.co.uk/
Continual scanning ,c AIS and firefox6
Switching it off for now.

After more messing ,it seems that admuncher and avast script shield is causing this.If I disable admuncher filtering then exit admuncher completely and restart firefox ,the script shield doesn't ,continually scan and the clock hands (previous post) rotate.It seems to be happening on certain webpages for some reason.Anyone else using admuncher can confirm?

I am NOT using admuncher, but nonetheless I have the same behavior on this page which belongs to one of the most important newspapers in Mexico:

http://www.excelsior.com.mx/

From the moment I open this site, avast´s Script Shield starts analyzing and will NOT stop until i close the site.

Note: This ONLY happens when using Firefox 6.0  (even in SAFE mode with ALL the add-ons disabled!) and NOT IExplorer 9 which works fine. Also using windows 7 64 bit and avast PRO 6.0.1273

Yeah there seems to be a bug in script shield on its own and with admuncher as with admuncher installed i can reproduce the clock hands not moving on the bbc website.I uninstalled it and noticed that script shield cant handle the site mentioned in this thread either

Definitly not ready for prime time imo.

It must be something related on the system that causes the script shield to go bananas as I have visited all sites mentioned with no problem win 7 64 bit IE9

[miscreant]

I haven't tried IE9 Essexboy,Im just using firefox 6 ,looking at the other users script shield problems ,they all at present seem to be related to firefox 6 (and in my case admuncher too)

It may be one of the FF addons that is causing a recursing in the script - don't know though as I only use firefox to download malware

[Hermite15]

an improvement that I should mention: the behavior shield doesn't slow down my boot times anymore with this version.

Possibly ,but Diazruanova,s post confirms that the behaviour happens even when firefox is in safe mode with no addons enabled.The only add-on I use is better privacy,which doesnt usually cause any problems (that i know of).

Yes, I tested with FireFox 6 in safe mode and the problem is there! and as I mentioned also, the problem disappears when using IExplorer 9

I am also only seeing the update notifications about 50% of the time for some reason.

PROBLEM:  QUICKEN 2011 and AVAST 6.0.1273

It appears that there is an incompatibility with Avast 6.0.1273 and Quicken 2011.  When attempting to initiate a browser session from within Quicken, the programs (Quicken and the browser,IE8)immediately and abruptly close.

I think I isolated the issue to the Quicken/Browser/Avast interaction.  A browser session opened outside of Quicken while Quicken was still running worked without issues.  Both the browser and Quicken sessions operated "as advertised" when both were opened separately, but were run concurrently.

I did not find any other functionality issues with either of the programs.

I reverted back to Avast 6.0.1203 and both of the programs operated as expected.

Hi,
we tried the scenario however IE8 opened correctly from the Quicken 2011. Could you provide more details about the scenario and about your OS ?

thank you
Lukas.

Today again, at boot up, no Avast pop-up notification after update
