Congratulations to avast! team for the recent beta version of avast! Free Antivirus 7.0.1396. The layout is much better and more attractive, in particular, the addition of Cloud Services.
However, the latter seems to be not securely established and is easily disconnected. On several occasions, I have tried to disable/enable Streaming Updates (settings) after/before starting up my home PC equipped with Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
Perhaps, avast! team would look into the matter and remedy the adverse situation as soon as possible.
Regards,
A. Chung
