Hmmm... not completely yet.
Can you use Microsoft Security Essentials with avast? It would be better.

Oh just my luck  :'( Microsoft won't let anyone else download it, says something about them not allowing anymore beta testers or whatever. Oh well maybe ill go back to 4.8 for the time being.

Update both the program itself and the definitions.

I thought that you should not run two anti virus progs at the same time as they conflicted ?

You're right. Although in this case, they could leave together.
You will have less performance (a little less at least), but right now is a way to be protected with the beta 5 version of avast.
