Hi all

AVG New beta version 20.1.3110


Hi everyone,

after many weeks without any new beta release I`m glad to announce that new beta version is ready - 20.1.3110 (build 20.1.5026). As we were unable to release 19.9 to public (due to many reasons), we switched the version to 20.1 and prepare another beta. It means that 20.1 is not completely new release, but it follows up the 19.9 release.

What's new
Browser extensions
- Improved detection of status of browser extensions
- Added support of detection in Opera browser
Update process of user interface was improved
Smart Scan improvements - Advanced issues - when everything is ok, we are showing "green" results instead of hidding the tab

Known issues
- Status of Chrome browser extension is not reported correctly in Avast UI

@DDE_Server I used it last year because I have a soft spot in my heart for AVG, and it was fine. If you block the ads in your firewall it's OK, but Avast's shenanigans have ruined it for a lot of users. It only had medium hard mode vs. Avast's aggressive hard mode and I don't know if it's changed, but I used it without problems. Their web shield is good if you don't mind their data mining/selling.

I have not used AVG since Avast bought it, I was disappointed when it openly said it was selling user data. I used it when it was a German product a long time ago. :)
German? To my knowledge I know it was developed in Czech Republic. Both AVast and AVG and even Sticky Password (developed by the team behind AVG) are in Czech Republic

If you are right, I was wrong.:)
Liked you comment :) According to Wikipedia it was developed in Czech Republic and the license were firstly sold in Germany and the UK. When I first read your comment I was surprised as if you can say wanted it to be German. I do sincerely apologise if I sounded disrespectful in the way I commented.
