Avast 7 Final Released

[RejZoR]

Cloud is really choking badly. 28th evening and i've seen it 3 times to be connected for like 10 minutes. And the other 5 hours, it has been dead.

Hello,
My posts are on pg.27 but I have not received an answer yet. Today twice I uninstalled and reinstalled AIS 7. The same problems: avast warning - unable to insert the license file. Error 0x080046400 and AvastUI.exe - application error: the instruction at 0x776b8dc9 referenced memory at 0x00000014; the memory could not be written. The last warning appeared when I turn on the pc. I unistalled the AIS 7 and I did a restore point. AIS 7 work fine now. The actual version is upgraded from beta. I'm afraid of doing a clean install because the mentioned problems can pop up again.
Regards
Relu

I don't know what happened here. I'd been having problems with avast 7 IS not updating. After reading several threads, I decided to do a clean install. So using Revo Uninstaller, I uninstalled AVAST. After an hour of revo deleting over 700 files, I rebooted.

Avast was still there, running perfectly and it updated without a problem. I've never seen that happen before, but am not complaining. I will, though, watch avast very carefully for a while - just in case.

A mio parere non è corretto integrare l'aggiornamento di Avast con quello di Chrome ! Si dovrebbe almeno chiedere se l'utente vuole farlo.
Io avevo una versione beta di Avast e ora mi ritrovo con la versione ufficiale; ho dovuto ricaricare il profilo e non so come eliminare l'avviso che la mia versione non è aggiornata e non può caricare il profilo.

Hi!

After updating my Avast, i get AvastUI.exe - Application Error which says

The exception unkown software excepion (0xe06d7363) occurred in the application at location 0x7532b9bc.

If i close this message it comes right back again. I tried re-installing and it didn't work.
Can anyone please help me?

I made a few notes:

How to uninstall Avast 7 that's not working using software aswClear.exe:

Download aswclear.exe into a folder and remember where it is. DON'T PUT IT ON YOUR DESKTOP...

Here’s the page:  http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

After the download is complete...Start Windows in Safe Mode

Open the folder you put aswclear.exe in and execute the uninstall utility

If you installed Avast! in a different folder than the default, browse for it. (Note: Be careful! The content of any folder you choose will be deleted!)

Click REMOVE it will tell you when it's done...

Restart your computer in normal mode...

Find a Version 6 of Avast and install it.

It's fixed... that's what I did...

and DON'T download 7 until we know it's fixed.

Version 7 is fixed and there is also a fix provided for people who already have the affected version installed http://public.avast.com/supp/FixUpdate.exe

The "Ask" mode in AutoSandbox will actually be completely removed in the next update, as it lacks sense in the new v7 logic.
That is, in v7, the AutoSandbox is primarily an analysis tool.
We actually plan to even further watermark/transparentize all the UI elements of autosandboxed apps, to make it apparent that the app is being analyzed and it's not meant for "normal" use.

Can I get some clarification on this point? Does this mean just the "Ask" option in AutoSandbox is going away, or also the ability to disable AutoSandbox?

AutoSandbox played absolute hell with a number of programs on my system. I don't really need it anyway--all I want is an unobtrusive real-time and on demand scanner, which Avast has done well to provide. I refuse to use Avast with Sandbox enabled, so if the ability to disable it is going away, that's bad news indeed.

I would hope we can still disable it.
