Avast causing Aw Snap

Reported by nsiniste...@bondacom.com, Dec 11

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.80 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Avast
2. Open Chrome
3. Go to anywhere (Like google.com)

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome should open the page

What went wrong?
Aw Snap! Window appears.

Crashed report ID: 

How much crashed? Whole browser

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.80  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10
Flash Version: 

We are receiving a lot of complains about it in the Help Forums.

Users say that uninstall avast fixed the problem. I know that probably that's not a Chrome problem itself, but for final users that's a Chrome crash, and not an avast crash.

Some users report that reinstall solve the problem for a moment, but after some time is start crashing again.

We can't collect a crash report from chrome://crash, but this page is crashing too.

@nsinisterra: Could you please provide crash id from chrome://crashes it would help in further triaging of this issue.

Thanks!
Hi @jbanavatu

Users can't access to chrome://crashes because this carsh too.

One user reports that this happen just with in Windows 10 64bits running Chrome 71 32bit version, makes any sense?

You can get some info in the forum thread (There are some users discussing that):

Another way to get crash reports?

Usually the reported crash IDs are not in a GUID form. They look like this:

Uploaded Crash Report ID 2e414db204e34fe6 (Local Crash ID: Chrome)

Would it be possible to upload the crashes and share the uploaded crash IDs?

Here's a thread on the Avast forum that mentions this behavior:

Hi there!

Users reports that the last avast update fix the problem.

Just as feedback, maybe in this cases a more explained screen would be really appreciated, understand which software is causing chrome crash (in this screen) can add more feedback. 
Of course, if you can make chrome survive to this things, that would be really appreciated!

About this particular issue (Avast vs Chrome), I think that this can be marked as "Fixed" right now.

Thanks!

Hey all,

Since it seems the third-party anti-virus provider has issued an update that resolves this, I'm going to go ahead and mark this as WontFix.

For anyone still seeing the behavior, please update your anti-virus and try restarting your computer.

I'll let other folks update  bug 913719  when they reach a conclusion point.

Thanks!
