Title: When will the famous avast! 5?
Post by: mrrrrrl on July 04, 2009, 03:08:03 PM

I use avast! (from version 4.6 that I remember) And as soon as I saw that would be available avast! 5, which will again? And the most important.
When available for download?

More than one person is waiting! ;D

Thanks!

No. It will require uninstall avast 4.8 and install avast 5 beta. It won't be announced, you need to manually download and install the beta.
It will only be announced in the future, when the final gold version gets out ;)

avast Pro license is for the antivirus only. You can upgrade to avast 5 version with that license.
To get the suite, you'll have to acquire the suite license (antivirus + firewall + antispam).

It is possible/likely that there will be an inexpensive (not necesarry to buy a completely new license) way of upgrading the "Pro"-license to a "Suite"-license...
was told somewhen before...

I think this is a reasonable asking, i.e., a promotional price for upgrading the antivirus pro to the suite.
