Now this is really strange, as there is no v4.8.1358 AFAIK.
I see that FileHippo and Majorgeeks (among others) list it, but when you download it, it is 1356.

I wonder why they thought there was a new version? (and how did they come up with the version number...)

I read this thread yesterday.  I use a download manager(GetRight), and it has a function to see if a file has been updated.  So I downloaded the "new" version.  Using Hash from Robin Keir gives the following result.  Note that I had renamed the September update.

Both were downloaded from http://download665.avast.com/iavs4pro/setupeng.exe

Perhaps this confused them, but if they'd checked they should have known.

filehippo.com have now removed Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1358 as the latest update.  A bit too quick off the mark there it would seem!
