Tangy

I have downloaded it twice. Size 9.83 MB version :19.1.4142.424 digital signature not available. I might have cracked it for the time being. Started my pc in safe mode and then using WinPat I set the service of aswbiDsagent.exe to automatic. When I did that through windows services within a couple of days would go back to manual and consequently BS would turn itself off. However whenever I open a file or visit a site would come back to life. I have restarted my pc three times so far after the winpat workaround and BS is there in all its glory. Let's see how long my honeymoon is going to last. If this fails I'll try to set it on triggered through WinPat. Ofcourse I still get that blank window for 20 to 30 seconds. It does not really bother me.

@Dave-H The thing is when I run avast clear get a message saying that this is not a valid win32 app (See image 3 page 3. )Go figure.

I thought had sorted out this inconvenience https://forum.avast.com/?topic=224360.0 however back to square one . Even though avast says that BS is turned off actually it is running. must be a bug at least in my system. The thing is why avastclear utility is not working and why avast cannot uninstall its own appdata is beyond me. have always to finalize the uninstall process by force booting. Apart from that everything is ok.

Ok problem solved. How ? please do not ask is beyond me. The only thing I still get that blank thing depicted in image 2 but as soon as avast is fully loaded it goes with the wind.

It seems this is the main culprit,tried to delete htmldata got a message saying access denied, blocked html cannot be removed

I wonder if you can help me. Few days ago I upgraded my avast to version 18.8.2356 from 18.6.2349 I felt compelled to do so since a critical vulnerability had been fixed in this version.. The day after I noticed that Behaviour Shield behaved erratically by turning off specially on start up. I did a repair but to no avail. Then I set aswbIDSAgent to automatic in services this worked for a day or two. Then I tried to do a clean install . During uninstallation right at the end Avast got stuck to : Deleting file C:\ documents and settings\all users\ application data\avast software\avast\html data\image 001.png and winlogon was consuming almost 100% of cpu . After a forced reboot to my surprise avast had been removed from my computer. Could not use avastclear utility please see attached image 3. I installed avast but the symptom regarding B Shield persists. I did that quite a few times but the BS problem is still there. Also now when I start my computer Please see Image 1 of course as soon as everything is loaded it goes away. Once I set adwbIDSAgent to automatic and perform a repair BS turning off occurs mostly at start up. Once I turn it on manually it stays on till the end of the day well not always. If I turn on BS from protection menu instead of main GUI never turns off. Same thing happens when I try to uninstal in safe mode. I was considering the idea to delete html data from application data folder then use revo and do a thorough uninstall of avast or uninstall it from add/remove forced reboot and then delete avast application data folder and then install again. I found an off line installer of the version I was using but there is no way to install it due to winlogon high cpu consumption. I guess you can't use off line installers for winxp. Thank you kindly PS : I posted that over the avast forum but nobody really has bothered to help me so far Any ideas @FranceBB

Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear

@DanR20 All of my add ons work fine here ( Adguard, Avast online security, Classic theme restorer, classic toolbar buttons,Decentraleys, Fierr, Flagfox, minerblock, privacy badger, ublock origin, user agent switcher and manager,webmail ad blocker, yahoo mail hide ad panel ) cheers

Currently I am using version 18.6.2349 and everything seems to be fine, evidently programme update is set to manual, not that I had any problems with later versions since I've never tried them. Please note : If your XP doesn't support SSE2, you may download version 10 from here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=164936.msg1322691#msg1322691 Courtesy of bob3160 from avast forum @DaveH Have you set terminal services to automatic ?

I am afraid both links still give same error 404 not found. Basilisk links work fine. Cheers

@ roytam1 : Both palemoon/newmoon links give a 404 - Not Found Cheers

For New Moon try this one. Works fine ! http://addons.palemoon.org/addon/expose-noisy-tabs/ Cheers

In NM I use besides ublock origin, Adguard legacy 2.10.8. Find below my settings.

Thanks for that. Could not resist the temptation !

roytam1 has expressly stated that this is a Mozilla bug and they have not been able to sort it out.( Or maybe they can't be arsed ) Quite recently a friend of mine ( windows 7, latest Mozilla version ) mentioned that you tube videos freeze at about 46 minutes. I reckon I will have to check that with my other PC OS win 7 64 bits. I do not know when though. Cheers

Ever considered of installing HTML5 media tuner add on in New Moon ? My NM works flawlessly basically everywhere. Cheers PS: unfortunately it does not work in Basilisk

Mission accomplished ! Dankeschön

Could not import values to registry. Basically it says that was due to system error or defected HD. However I run certupdater 1.6 and informed me that update was successful. Cheers

I hope this helps Cheers

I do not think so. Regarding Basilisk you may install classic theme restorer and classic toolbar buttons and customise it to your liking. New Moon 28 and Mypal I suggest you to install HTML5 media tuner since all sites ( I mean the ones I frequent ) play videos with Adobe Flash as well so by disabling html5 you don't get the 23 minute thingy. This does not apply to youtube.

You could use Smart HTTPS 0.2.5 as it says " automatically changes HTTP protocol to HTTPS and if loading encounters error, reverts it back to HTTP ".

In New moon go to view or right click navigation bar > toolbars > customize . Drag add on in question anywhere you like.

Downloaded heinoganda's certificate updater. Extracted files and I got two files Certificate updater version 1.2 and Certificate updater version 1.3. I gather I will have to run version 1.3 is that right ? Is there anything else I should be aware of ? So just by running that file certificates will be updated. Thank you in advance By the way my windows update is disabled due to the high cpu usage. Does that matter ? PS: My system is not Posready. I reckon I got all the office 2007updates post 2014 and all the updates that MS published after that date.

Since you mentioned it, I've started getting said errors on September 13. Never had any changes made to certificate system.
