If there were a legitimate Beta it would be displayed on this forum before anywhere else I would think, maybe softpedia have somehow obtained a leaked in house Beta version ??? or it's a mistake in there editing ???

I think it fixes compatibility problems with Windows 8.1.

Priming the pump perhaps (all of the download sites), in preparation of an official release. The http://www.avast.com/release-history page still shows 8.0.1489 as the current version.

Since as Igor said "I think it fixes compatibility problems with Windows 8.1." If this build number .1492 is only for win 8.1 (preview ?) there wouldn't be that huge numbers avast user with win 8.1 preview. It would make sense that new installations of avast have the latest version and those with it installed would have an in place update.

We saw what happened in the recent VPS update that was trying to cater for win8.1 some BSODs resulting in an avast emergency update.

Hi to all,
I downloaded this beta from softpedia to my win8x64 not win8.1x64 and there is problem with conecting it to my avast! account. The rest of functions are  running great since this morning when I installed it.
See you...
