mantra you only get the update audio with the auto updates not with manual updating so as you have disabled the updating which is auto is why you wont recieve any audio, if i understand you correctly.
no
let me straight
automatic update -> disable the pop up
after an automatic update -> no voice (it 's associated to the pop up) , but i get the update

in this new beta the web shield have a priority over firewall. i'm using pc tools firewall and it will not give a notification when internet explorer or firefox try to connect to the internet. because they will connect to avast service that act like a local proxy. this problem happen only with the new beta.
There are known and admitted problems with PC Tools and Avast's web shield. It's not really new , just an escalation of an already existing problem. I was having a problem with that firewall not creating rules for some applications, especially 64 bit ones. It refused to make connection rules for CCleaner for example. I was told after they investigated that it was due to a conflict with their ESP module and the Web Shield of Avast. I removed PC Tools as a result. It's very buggy with Windows 7, especially the 64 bit version.

After updating with latest version I get these errors
when trying to update SUPERAntispyware and MalwareBytes
with avast! shut down or disabled updates happen just fine


hayc59, the question is, can you access the web from your browser?
I mean, it looks like the firewall is blocking the avast service (AvastSvc.exe) from accessing the Internet. And since in this new version, all HTTP requests from all processes are routed through WebShield (AvastSvc.exe), blocking the process from accessing the Internet effectively means blocking all processes from accessing the web.

Try deleting the AvastSvc.exe entry in the firewall - it's quite likely it will be recreated, with the right rules.

Thanks

Script Shield works fine with FIrefox 6 32bit. 8)

BTW, is there any plans to add a way to prevent WebShield from scanning all processes (i.e. INI settings or like that)?
I know scanning all processes can prevent viruses more efficiently but this also make outbound firewall nearly useless.
Once AvastSvc.exe is trusted by firewall (and I do so) then all apps can connect to the internet via HTTP without FW prompt.
This is not good for me... :-\

Edit:
Indeed a prompt ("trying to connect to port 12080") is appear, but it's still not good as I can't block specific IPs.

Could you please tell us a bit more details?
Which version of QQ, exactly?
What OS?
At which stage is it crashing, exactly?
And could you please send us any associated information (or ideally minidumps), e.g. as reported in the Event Viewer?

Thanks

- Web Shield now scanning all processes by default

Does this mean Ad Muncher should now work out of the box?

Good question:
I think it will be the same as it is right now, some report no problems and some have a problem.

Some existing topics, if admuncher is acting as a localhost proxy (I don't use it) and that gets in before the web shield then the web shield would have nothing to scan (regardless of what that traffic is), unless you uncheck Ignore local communications, as this is still on in the beta.

So I don't know as the new beta settings don't clarify if that would include other localhost traffic. See images, click to expand.

Well Still no option in Windows XP 64 bit to turn off the Auto Sandbox feature. No pull down option nothing it works in XP Vista And 7. Yes people will say why not switch to windows 7. Well windows 7 sucks as a service machine needed for repairs and hard drive recoverys XP 64 reads everything 7 says oooh hard drive not readable.

So please I need to turn off this option in Windows XP 64 bit for the reason When I try to open some of my hard drive recovery programs it almost locks the computer because sandbox option comes up which I hate with a passion.
