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

[zfactor]

It's better than the old "More info" button but still looks ugly and out of context. Just doesn't feel right. Can't this be done properly so it looks consistent with the rest of the GUI ? Plz!?

If you ask me a simple "click this popup for more info" on the bottom of the popup with white font would do it. Same size and font type as the rest of the popup, not thiss big ass thing.

i agree with this

I have no internet problem whatsoever at startup. Everything fine with this version, EXCEPT as usual for somme problem relatated to Sandbox and SafeZone features in the Avast Pro edition.

I just installed Avast IS v6.0.1270 on Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit) SP1 (and all updates installed) on a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5829 (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core TK-57 (1.9 Ghz) with 4 GB of RAM.  Now the wireless indicator has a yellow exclamation mark on it and the message "No Internet access" but I can still connect to the Internet in Firefox and IE with this wireless connection.  I did not have this issue with the previous officially released version.


***Issue still exists in v6.0.1273 after installation and reboot.***

[Rednose]

Lol Petr, I was joking

Like I said I have only my iPhone and iPad with me. I don't think I can install the Beta on them

Cheers, Erik.

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
Vlk

VLK, that did the trick! thank you
Never has done that before when installing a BETA over the top
of final version

Hi,

There is a incompatibility between avast beta 6.0.1270 and a FireFox (6.0) extension:

HTTPS Everywhere 1.0.1

 When this extension is enabled, FireFox simply does NOT open.
I am not sure there is a fix for this problem, which is not a big deal anyway ;-)

Otherwise, the Script Shield is working fine with FFx 6 and IExplorer 9 32bit!

Take a look at the extension website to see what it does:

https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

Thanks

Honestly, I think that extension is a total waste of time and actually leaves you less well protected as the web shield isn't monitoring HTTPS traffic. So you lose the protection of probably the most effective shield in avast.

[disPlay]

By the way Vlk the script shield will work with the chrome browser before the end of this beta?
Or we will only see this implemented is another build of avast?

I think like RejZor... The button is not compatible with the rest of the GUI: ugly, brings too much attention.
The version number is a good improvement.

+1 WebShield will give you more protection than the addon.

That is precisely why I already deleted it from within FireFox!
