Title: Can Avast Users Roll Back To Previous Versions?
Post by: Jack 1000 on January 05, 2011, 02:33:03 AM
Hey Avast Family,

Sup?  As always thank you for your help and support on the forum!  My questions are, does Avast provide a previous version rollback in the program or on the website?  I was thinking because more people than expected are having issue with the newest version of 5.1.864, could they still get a fresh version of 5.0.677 on the site?

Or would they only way they could do that, would be if they still had an existing download from 5.0.677 on their hard drives?

Avast doesn't retain old version downloads, but there are many sites that do, filehippo.com and majorgeeks.com are two that do and are reputable sites.

You are loosing sight of the fact that this is a support site and generally it is only those with problems that arrive at the forums.

You weren't around after the release of avast 5.0 almost a year ago, there was a spike in traffic on the forums, which is understandable with such a large (130 million plus) and diverse user-base with a myriad of different OSes, hardware and software, etc. Those problems were also resolved in a fairly short time as no doubt will these.

Thanks!

I think I started on the forum a couple months after 5.0 came out.  You guys have always done a good job, and it's also cool t hat you are quick to admit if problems come up.  Sometimes other companies try to hide or be dishonest about their products and services.  I have always found Avast to be very helpful and resourceful.
