Hi,
I am the OP in that other thread...
Not sure if you made it through the whole thread (got a bit lengthy for its actual content), but here are two keys that may interest you.
About the problem possibly coming back, I just posted this yesterday:
"One frustrating thing is that once it 'finds' the printer, it appears to remember it for a few days. For example, it sees the printers now. If I turn all of the behavior shield back on, it will see still see the printer for a bit, then lose it. For convenience, I am now just leaving that one thing unchecked..."
Based on that, it is my guess that it will show up if the Behavior Shield is re enabled...
The other thing is that you don't need to disable the whole Behavior Shield, but rather just one element of it under the Expert Settings - simply uncheck the 'Monitor the system for unauthorized modifications' box. That allows other aspects of it to still be providing protection....
Hope this helps.
Would it be appropriate for this user to also fill out a ticket? If the avast developers hear more about it, are they more likely to take it seriously? Those of us here are working to make sure we can get it fixed and keep avast, but there are other users out there on other forums just dropping avast with out even bothering to try a workaround... It really is in avast's interest to get this sorted out.
I am glad that this thread came up. I felt in the other thread I was treated as if it was something I had done...
