Thanks Rohugh and Pondus for your replies.
But..... I am still confused :o ..... if this is a full released version then why is the quality of the product equivalent to that of an early Beta?

Because they ran out of time. Windows 8.1 was released last Friday and they wanted to have Avast 2014 ready for that.
I agree fully, Avast 2014 is a beta product and a total disaster: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=137654.0

There is a large variance of results from this new version, many have no problems - or at least very few minor ones (and I am one of those) - whereas there are also a lot who have found problems, some that make it difficult for them to use 2014. Although this version was (probably) rushed out whenever it was released there are bound to be things that need correcting as it immediately became available to a wide selection of types of pc/OS set-ups. All that can be hoped for at the moment is that problems are reported in these forums in a constructive way to allow the devs to see them and take action to correct them.

And I fully disagree! avast is "not" in beta anymore. The percentage of users having issues is really quite low. Those who do not experience issues rarely post so what you see posted are the very small percentage who do have problems. avast also did not "rush" this release there was over a month of beta testing during which a number of minor issues were fixed. I know this since I did beta test v2014. In stating that v2014 is "a total disaster" shows that you are making a sad attempt at bad-mouthing an excellent product. :)

Can you please quantify your statement with actual numbers. Can you also please provide verifiable and checkable references to verify the validity of those numbers.
Thanks.

Or maybe people simply uninstall it and find another better software. I've been hit with multiple bugs, so I can only judge from my own bad experience with Avast 2014.
Stuck in Safezone! Because they didn't test out Safezone in a multi-monitor setup, I was stuck in safezone, only spamming the ctrl-alt-del finally crashed/exited it.
Getting a "Page not found", when logging into "My Devices".
The entire firewall not working properly. Not able to ping or RDP my machine, even though it was turned on in settings and didn't even work with every Avast shield off.
Bad danish translation with tons of errors and missing translations.
Action center kept reporting Avast firewall wasn't running, which was fixed after a definition update though.
That is simply not good enough.
