Avast Beta version 19.x [Mega Thread]

[oldschool]

Hi anyone know if i need behaviour blocker on avast if i have voodooshield installed? Thks

I don't see why you wouldn't use it. I used AVG + VS and I used the 3 main components File, Web and Behavior Shields. Otherwise just use VS alone and configure your browser accordingly.

Ok for now i just have av and web working with avast, i find the bb on avast slows things down a touch.

If i was to get rid of avast and just use VS with NVT armor ,what can i use for web pretection/ Thks

What web browser do you use?

 

[blueblackwow65]

Firefox

I would recommend Emsisoft Browser Security

Protects like a antivirus?

Protects like a antivirus?

It's not a antivirus but it blocks dangerous websites

 

[oldschool]

Firefox

Take your pick: MBEB, WDBP, Emsisoft and add uBO @ medium mode or @Windows_Security Easy Mode + configuration. You can get more info here: Discuss - uBlock Origin/Nano Adblocker - user tips, questions and issues thread

Why do you want to add OSArmor if you remove Avast? Just curious...

 

[blueblackwow65]

I like the NVT products and find they work very well with little av involved.

You're good to go with that setup. If you're unfamiliar with the 3 browser extensions you might want to trial them separately to see which you prefer.

Avast's Update:

Hi guys, we have discovered an unpleasant bug (affecting about 12% of installs) that might reboot your PC in about 10 minutes after running the latest beta. It would not do permanent damage to OS install, it is just inconvenient.

So we have stopped the distribution of the 19.6 beta. The links in the original post now temporarily lead to old beta version - 19.5.

- If you have obtained the latest beta prior to 05/31/2019 17:00 CET, we recommend to re-download installers from the URLs above.
- Alternatively, you can go to Settings -> Protection -> Core Shields and UNCHECK "Enable Rootkit detection".

We will release a stable version early next week. Thanks for understanding and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
