The update has now been officially released as 5.0.594.
Thanks to everyone who helped testing.
Hi *,
we'll soon be releasing a new build of avast 5 Free/Pro/IS. As usual, we're making the build available for public testing before it's officially released (so far the version number is 5.0.590).
How to get it
links removed
How to install it
Just run the setup executable (links above). You can either install it from scratch, or on top of an existing avast installation (installing over both 5.0.xxx or 4.8.yyy should be fine). Users from the previous beta build (5.0.584) can update directly by using the built-in Program update feature. A reboot will be required to complete the installation.
Also, if you're already using the previous beta build 5.0.492 or 499, you can go to 5.0.504 by simply invoking the program update feature from within the avast GUI.
What's new
Most notable improvements include:
- improved interaction with Windows System Restore; namely, avast now auto-repairs itself when it detects a corrupted VPS due to a System Restore (or other reasons)
- aswSP.sys: solved a minor stability issue
- solved a problem related to inserting of the license files
- added the activation codes feature
- improvements in the avast! sandbox
- solved a problem when avast was continuously slowing down (especially in conjunction with the screensaver)
- performance improvements in the Behavior Shield
- avast Screen saver now accessible even in 64-bit Windows Vista
- stability improvement in aswTdi.sys (solved a compatibility problem with AVG)
- IS firewall: solved a potential BSOD condition
- various improvements in the avast! sandbox module
- minor fixes in the GUI
- added Catalan and Belarusian language packs
And new in v5.0.590:
- solved intermittent hangs during full scan
- added more logging in the service (should be useful to debug potential service crash issues)
- added Romanian language pack (still incomplete)
Thanks much
Vlk

Thnx Avast! Team :D

I just noticed that the yellow padlock's on desktop items from programs that run always virtualized are not there anymore ???

Hurra!!!
- Solved a problem related to inserting of the license files
Yeah, Pro users thanks...
Added the activation codes feature
Are they only for package (box) sells?
-
Was the screensaver bug solved?
-
GUI improvements are welcome, the freezing time when accesing the Scan area is now gone :)
-
Also AIS users are encouraged to test the Outlook toolbar, which underwent a big code review in order to ensure greater compatibility and foolproofing. Tested in house on versions 2000 - 2010

That module is still under development, which will be going on for a few more months. We shall announce more on that later (when it's ready for testing). So please be patient and stay tuned.

Thank you for reply.

Possible Bug Report--Custom Scan, XP SP3 Desktop
Got Stuck during the scan, and wouldn't finish, unknown if it i was way i had setup the custom scan or what--had it setup for scanning all files/packers, storing data in the cache since just reinstalled Avast 5 on that desktop--cleanly
(same custom scan is ran on all the other Desktops/laptops here though--weekly)
-
And if you run the same scan again, does the same happen?
If yes, do the avast! processes use any CPU (while frozen) or not?
-
Additional unmentioned Bugfix :D
- When the firewall is set to "public" the tracert feature does it's job correctly :)
Greetings
Timo

Did not Freeze up--finished the entire scan, was doing PC repair on other PC, so i wasn't watching it as closely as before--all is well it appears now, now to finish up maintenance on Desktop 5, and transfer some hardware to Desktop PC 2

- stability improvement in aswTdi.sys (solved a compatibility problem with AVG)
Hi
Which compatibility problem do you mean? The one with linkscanner?
Thanks!
-
- stability improvement in aswTdi.sys (solved a compatibility problem with AVG)
Hi
Which compatibility problem do you mean? The one with linkscanner?
It was a BSOD condition. We don't quite know what exactly was necessary to simulate the problem, but according to the Windows Error Reporting data we're getting, it was happening to roughly 400 people a day.
-
1. Why aren't you answering my question?
2. Strange startup items (runonce) that left after the installation and are, as far I could see, responsible to MS Outlook startup after boot.
-
Will you make Avast! compatible with Sandboxie in a way like v4.8 was - so that one can scan inside a sandbox (a sandboxed quickscan)? In v5.0 that's not possible.

Just updated to 5.0.584 hope this solves my problem with system restore :)

Performance degradation over time with Behavior Shield, Avast 5.0.545

Thanks for the support.

No... It's pending, at least of a response.

I have a disastrous 5.0.584 update also... But I thought the problem was elsewhere.
Long boot time, freezing, and so on.
I've restored an old Comodo Time Machine snapshot.
Tried again and seems to be working.
I've mounted the problematic snapshot into Comodo and I can't see any minidump of avast there.
Also, there are three startup items... Why?
-
Hmm no mentioning of solving the SMTP problems (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=59627.msg503267#msg503267) which first occured in .545. Hope they have been fixed though!

Thank goodness for Acronis True Image restore.

Except the disappeared yellow padlocks ( Petr Kurtin is working it ) I don't have any problems so far.
Also the flooding of the Firewall Connections log has been fixed, and the Clear log button is working now :D

The boot problem of the beta (first installation).

Updated. All was fine, avast! is running excellent. :)

I've mounted the problematic snapshot into Comodo and I can't see any minidump of avast there.
Hmm, this again looks to me that someone, typically a software firewall, is blocking the avast service from starting and/or accessing the Internet. Your computer in particular, Tech, seems to work as a magnet for these situations. :)
Regarding the startup items, we're investigating these.

What is that?

Trying 584 on 3 PCs now.
My Windows7 64 bit machine still doesn't like it!
Internet Explorer 7 32 bit still crashes randomly and often when in sandbox mode. IE goes white (and sometimes black) and unresponsive. I tried the 'No add-ons' version as well, and that does the same. One thing that seems to trigger it is opening or switching tabs.
Sandboxed Chrome and flash is still a non-starter.
Incidentally, I can confirm some observations from elsewhere on the forum...Sandboxed 64 bit IE is totally stable on this PC.
-
I just noticed my avast! stopped completely :o
"Fix now" doesn't work, but "Run now" (sorry I don't know how this called in English, it sit under "Fix now" button) fixed my problem.
I have slept my PC and wake up about an hour ago... I didn't notice.
This is my first time I get such message. :(
I hope this happened by accident. I report this just in case (this is pre-release build...).

Unfortunately I can't see any recent crash dump files, but file is sent.
Thank you for your fast reply and assistance. :)

just to mention no booting duration issue, all services have been running properly after the upgrade, no problem whatsoever ;D
-
I installed 5.0.584 last night and I tried to run a full scan.... the full scan never ends or gets stucked in 18% or gets stuck in 29%... the speed goes down gradually then.
Have anyone notice this? I am not infected... I just run a full scan with mbam in safe mode everything went fine.
When I run the full scan and Avast stops in one file stays there forever after that Firefox 3.6.4 stops and the mouse does not let me do anything.
The quick scan finishes well, I have memory scan that I did myself and finishes well too, the problem is in the full scan only...
Please advise..rm
-
Does any of the avast! processes use any CPU (as shown in Task Manager) when it gets stuck?
-
Yes this is solved.
Thanks.
Hmm, this again looks to me that someone, typically a software firewall, is blocking the avast service from starting and/or accessing the Internet. Your computer in particular, Tech, seems to work as a magnet for these situations. :)
I know that. Is there a way to accelerate the network drivers to load. Seems that the router takes that much time to give me IP, DNS, gateway and so on. The wifi startup is slow in my computer.
Regarding the startup items, we're investigating these.
Thanks.
-
What is that?
Something that was posted in a restricted area of the forum.
-
In the taks manager I see about 3 o 4 fp.bin when it gets stuck
-
Do you mean sf.bin? There shouldn't normally be more than one (unless more than one scan is running at the time).
Well, the resident protection might call it too, but that would be a coincidence (I mean, it would be unrelated to the scan in progress).
Do those processes use any CPU? Are they really stuck (i.e. their process ID doesn't change), or are they finishing and new ones are being started (every few seconds maybe)?
-
Yes they are sf.bin and I'm only running one scan at a time.... they come and go... my problem now is that when I started to make a scan with SAS it got stuck to because Avast checks the same files than SAS.
I haven't been able to pass 29% when a full scan is started. After the computer gets stuck, nothing I can do and I have to re-starte by force.
rm
-
the number in every sf.bin is 244 k and the last time I counted 4 of them
-
No, I don't mean memory usage (or what is "244 k")... I mean the PID column - which is kinda random ID number a process gets associated with when it starts.
Normally, the sf.bin process runs only shortly (a few seconds at most). So, my question is if those four sf.bin processes you see are "fixed" - their PID doesn't change, or if it changes every few seconds (which would mean the processes exist and new ones are started).
It might also be helpful to get Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx), select the sf.bin process in the list, press Ctrl+H and scroll to the "File" handles in to lower pane - to see what file is opened (and whether all of those sf.bin processes have opened the same scanned file).
-
Yes, indeed, it appears that the scan problem has been solved.
Thank you very much.
-
cadremis: OK, I think I found the problem... a stupid typo ;)
Thanks!
-
Igor,
Do you mean that you have already corrected the problem? or is it in the process of being corrected?
-
I think I fixed it; it will be included in the next update.
-
Thank you! I will be checking that and get back with information...rm

Why isn't AIS saving the connection questions?
Each time I open VirtualBox, an AIS popup asks for connection... I set it to be remembered...

Igor,
New 100624-1 is here and the problem of the full scanning stopping at 29% still present.

New version is highly unstable...
It's being killed by something... It's crashing... Fix button does nothing...

You've done a bad job. Something is deeply worse.

Tech you're on W7 right? okay could it be that your issues only occur on AIS, firewall bugs breaking the whole interface? I'm on "pro" and there's nothing wrong ??? (yeah you may have noticed that I reverted to pro a few weeks ago, too many unsolved issues with this firewall)

W7 and AIS, yes.
Booting brought back the avast working. But something is unstable and I do not know how to troubleshoot.

For me, something is killing avast, although the service seems to be running, Internet access is ok...
Isn't it something only related to GUI? ???

When I see an issue with the sandbox ( I mainly focus on that part when testing ) I email Petr Kurtin about it.

Hello everyone, trouble again. :'( :'( :'(
I have exactly same problem just now that Tech and XMAS has.
Now I do not anything (i.e. didn't fix it)... should I make memory dump by task manager?
It's not a firewall problem: I'm on Free version.
Edit: There's no AvastSvc.exe in task manager. :-\

Seems alot of people are having issues with this new build. But for now here everything is running smoothly.

Spoke too soon. I'd changed my usual IE link to 64 bit, so was testing the wrong version!
The problem is still there. If I open one or two additional tabs in sandboxed IE 8 32 bit (no add-ins) (Win7 64 Ultimate), solid black/white screens happen more often than not.
Flash is fine in Chrome now though!

@Yandros: tested IE8 x86 (Win7 x64) and it works fine here. So, when you get black/white screens, run Task Manager (taskmgr.exe), go to iexplore.exe process, right-click on it and choose "Create dump file" and upload it on ftp (http://support.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=18). Please note you may have more iexplore.exe processes running - so you need to generate dump file for each iexplore.exe process. Thanks.

See the screen .
I wrote here because it isn't a romanian zone in the international zone, by the way it's a hint :)

There are some problems with the font in the romanian translated GUI .

thanks, it's already fixed in internal build - there were some problems with these unicode chars

Update 5.0.590 is now out. It should solve all the known issues of build 5.0.584. Please feel free to comment.
Thanks

Thnx for the new build. Everything seems to be fine so far :)

New build seems to have corrected the runonce startup entries, update all avast drivers and it's working stable for more than 5 hours.

Igor/Avast Team,
Thanks for correcting this:
- solved intermittent hangs during full scan
I just did a full scan with this new 5.0.590 and everything is running ok in my computer however I feel this version a little heavy in comparatión with the others.
Is any one experiencing this?
Take a look at my taks mger.

Sorry, not at all.
Until now all is running quite smooth..!

10 hours... it's ok.
Full scanning at low priority does ok.

Except that AIS is always asking for VirtualBox connection when I start a virtual machine.
Are the settings being saved at all?

In this new version, does avast alert the user when its firewall is turned off and will the summary page say attention instead of secured?

Yes. It was always this way (not only in the last beta).

This is a specific (known) compatibility issue with Sun VirtualBox. There's currently no plan to solve it, sorry (it's not that easy, and probably not worth it).
Thanks

Is this has been fixed ?
PS : Also the clear log for the firewall is this fixed ? As there a french guy would like to know it.

The problem is still there. If I open one or two additional tabs in sandboxed IE 8 32 bit (no add-ins) (Win7 64 Ultimate), solid black/white screens happen more often than not.
@Yandros: tested IE8 x86 (Win7 x64) and it works fine here. So, when you get black/white screens, run Task Manager (taskmgr.exe), go to iexplore.exe process, right-click on it and choose "Create dump file" and upload it on ftp (http://support.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=18). Please note you may have more iexplore.exe processes running - so you need to generate dump file for each iexplore.exe process. Thanks.
3 files uploaded. Look for Yandros_iexplore.dmp, Yandros_iexplore(2).dmp and Yandros_iexplore(3).dmp
Let me know if you didn't get them.

Yes, I can confirm that this is fixed :)

Looking good here. :)

So far no crashes, working fine. 8)

Tech, I am just curious, but are your booting slowdowns solved with the 5.0.590 pre-release ???

Sure. They're clean now.

why the options to configure avast 5.0.590 look like this bad in this version?

Reboot / Repair doesn't solve it?

We could not reproduce this problem here. is it happening after you reboot the system?
Does all dropdown-lists appear like that?

yeah there's a new button on the alert window redirecting to that page...not really useful so far as it doesn't bring any specific info about the malware you encountered. Just test that with EICAR...this avast page would display the same for anything...so far, so that's work in progress I suppose.

Thanks Vlk

With avast! 5.0.590 the AvastSvc.exe shows an Average of 25MB
With avast! 5.0.545 the AvastSvc.exe shows an Average of 15MB
I'm Waiting the Final Release to see how it goes. ;)
-
Avast 5.0.590 installed and running.
The problem seems solved Behavior Shield.
The system seems faster.
However, it is only recently that the update was installed.
I continue to test.
Thanks, Avast Team.

thanks :)

I'm Having now the same issue of Cadremis seems like a Bug in the UI that sometimes shows half text of the options.
I solved it Right now with a Reboot...
The weird thing is:
1) I installed avast!
2) Rebooted (and all fine in the UI)
3) After 3 hours appears only half text of some parts of the avast UI (the issue of Cadremis)
4) Rebooted again and the problem is gone... ::)
-
I'm eagerly awaiting the final release since it seems a lot of things have been fixed. I myself haven't had any problems but I never did try system restore to see if it worked. It's nice to see that that problem was fixed though.
-
Where can i submit the mistakes found by me in the romanian translation ?
-
Well, you can post them here (or in a different thread), but...
1. the encoding is simply wrong in the current build, so anything connected with it isn't necessary to report
2. the translation is still incomplete (roughly corresponds to the state of avast! 5 in January); it's being updated, but it probably won't be finished until this buils is released. Before the update is done, however, the project is "locked" (synchronization reasons)... so I can't really fix the reported problems anyway at the moment.
So... I'd probably suggest to wait until the next program update :-\
-
Ok, thx .
-
And new in v5.0.590:
- solved intermittent hangs during full scan
- added more logging in the service (should be useful to debug potential service crash issues)
- added Romanian language pack (still incomplete)
Nice to hear that you added Romanian language pack. Please let us know if you need help to finish romanian translation.

i experienced a crash each time i'm scanning my pc with gmer... in the middle of the scan my pc reboots... I don't know if it is related to avast beta, comodo FW or processor heat :P ;)

That sometimes happens if you have daemon tools installed
-
My partner has recently installed Avast5, now I can't remember which version of 5, but my question is there a free firewall suite, or is it only the anti virus that is free?
-
Firewall only comes with Avast! Internet Security package, no FW in the free edition.
-
Hi nightshade :)
Here you can find a Avast! 5 comparison chart : http://www.avast.com/comparison-chart#tab3

Thanks for that.
What in your opinion would be the best free firewall for her to use on Windows 7?

Or use the forum's search function, as this has been already heavily discussed. ;)

Will do.

;D well done ! that's it ! thx

cvsa, Daemon tools could be replaced by Virtual CloneDrive (http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/Virtual-CD-DVD-Rom/Virtual-CloneDrive.shtml).

And "Alcohol 52%"...
-
Well if gmer is used for anti rootkit in avast! do you think avast! could got conflict with Daemon Tools ?

No the problem is handled on our side.
But it's a bug in Daemon Tools in any case...
-
Ok i never experienced any problem with daemon tool so its good that if i got a crash from daemon that its wont be by avast! thx alot vlk for your answer.
Edit : I got a old version of Daemon anyway. I rarely use it. But its good alway to know if its happen and it isnt related to avast! so now i know.
-

Did you alert its team?
Do they acknowledge the problem?
-
Im wondering about AIS does avast! did something for the Network Lock ? Like put it in the right click of the task bar icon ?
Its been suggesting many times so im wondering if an AIS user or team could tell me when its will/if it is on it ?
Edit : There many worry in the french forum btw so Dad should do a small rush for respond to the users...
-
Network Lock is in the Summary section of Avast! Internet Security UI, right when it is first opened,
directly below the "Silent Gaming Mode" control.
-
Yes, but putting the Network Lock also in the right click options of the Avast! task bar icon is a good suggestion :)
