@Karel,
I guess this is the glitch you're talking about?

It gives me an error when trying to update with automatic update, but i don't know how to update then. I want to test.

Ok, so what i am going to say is maybe going to surprise you, or maybe not?
Anyway, got it fixed, but i don't like the solution. What i basicly had to do, is switch the language from slovenian, which is my primary language, to english, and the second i did that it was able to update, isn't that a bit strange. I assume something is wrong with the translation or it's just a bbug, but it has to be checked. Didn't have to reinstall though.
-
Agreed, that's certainly strange and might be a bug. Wait for one of the devs.

I'll do one more test, i have a vm running on the beta, and i'll install slovenian language for avast on there and try again let's see, but yeah defenetly very strange.
-
Uff, bad luck, the vm already updated when i was away, oh well? I'll try to test this ferder because it seems like a bugg to me, plus that vm was not on slovenian language anyway so i couldn't test
