Eddy, the mail protection should work without reconfiguration of the mail client (i.e. NO 127.0.0.1 tricks etc). Does it in your case?No it didn't work. I had to do the 127.0.0.1 tricks. Only way to receive mail without those "tricks" was disabling the internet mail provider.
Btw, Vlk surprised me again with the beta release :o
So, I suggest to check the English version of the Beta preferably - I'm not sure if all the resources of non-English versions have been updated yet (which may result even in a crash of the program). I'll fix it as soon as possible.
As i posted previously, i use the italian version without any problems on a Windows 98 SE.Btw, Vlk surprised me again with the beta release :o

Igor, will we, the non-English, be in danger?
I finished the update and will boot to see what I get ;)

Oh,thanks. I backed up the file just in case ;)
Is this a glitch or Skinless interface cannot be launched via ashSimpl.exe ?
Even if i check or uncheck the setting,it won't change. If i run through Start avast! Antivirus command on "a" ball it changes to skinless mode.

Haha, i haven't seen the second one :) Ok this explains everything :)

I'm also wondering why you don't add options to disable "a" ball spinning, VRDB database generation intervals rate changing,ability to adjust how many lines to show for "Show detailed info on performed action", also option to disable update popup/error popup (and leave only sounds that virus database has been updated). I belive this shouldn't take too much time and resources to impliment. I know its available via my tweaker and Technicals descriptions, but many users want to see this in program itself.
Think about it ;)
If I click on the "a" ball and then Start avast Antivirus I dont get skinlees mode ??? I get the skin I was using before I did the update.. hmm
There is a ashSimpll2.exe in the folder now.. i get skinless if i click on that
I have a strance error. I copied the file in to the setup folder. But the update is not working ::)
the file I copies is a text file named "servers.def.txt".
What is wrong? ???

Yeah i like spinning "a" ball too,but it was drawing too much attentionHINT: Hide the taskbar ;D ;D ;D

First I made a complete scan of my Harddisks and avast! found 2 Trojans (Trojano...) which KAV didn't findNo av apllication can/will find everything. There are also thing kav finds and Avast not.
Kaspersy used only the half amount of RAM of AVAST)If you got the ram info from the taskmanager, forget it. That is not showing the correct amount as explained in another thread on this board.
And then therer are the many many configuration possibilities of the GUARDYou should see the options in the Pro version !
Can I use RejZor's /Craftec's Sharp-Skin with this releaseOfcourse you can use the skins if you want.
When will beta-releases supported with new definition-updates?vps updates are already supported, even in the beta version. What would make you think they are not? This is after all AVAST ;D
CPU peaks while browsing email?
Hardly anything to do with the mail scanner (as it scans the mail on trasport level).
BTW is the avast tray icon spinning while you have the CPU peaks? Can you identify the process that's taking up the CPU? Has this been happening prior to updating to the 4.5 beta?
Thanks
Vlk
Hey Timo,
It's radicalb21. To answer your first questions about the skins I'm using the skin you are talking about with no problems. To answer your second question VLK wrote the following:
"This time there should be no problems though..."
I hope this helps.
Love it, installed, no probs. First time I have download a piece of software that I haven't wanted to skin, love the look.
Well, I wouldn't call it a danger, but theoretically, some problems may occur in specific parts of the program. I hope the beta will be updated soon to a newer version.
I didn't mean MY SKINS... I thought of skins in general... Martin made huge number of skins, RejZor made one... also, Darren...
It's not about me... and it's not about Alwil made this skinless feature just to "dispraise" someone's skins... it's about all those users who are never satisfied. If you leave them with skinless antivirus for few months without an option to choose between skins, I'm sure they will complain that avast! is too boring... I know that. If you give them 4 good skins, they will ask for more... always... If you make 16 different, all kind of skins, they will say, avast! is not serious security program... it's child play... too many colorful skins, it's like circus. I know what I'm talking about, just take a look at all those comments on other forums... for example, Wilders. Vlk had to explain to one guy that he can not jujdge antivirus program by it's design... that guy said that avast! is not serious program just because he hates avast! spinning icon in system tray... I wouldn't even listen those comments... Cheers !
Would like to see some more technical explanation about the "Network Shield".
The new skin is great!
BTW - I like the spinning icon despite what others say.
RejZor, do you know anything about the LeDoc's tweaker...I think the only way we'll ever see that if the 2 of you tackel that job. ;D
He disappered from forums

Avast has been classed 16th about 21 av for his reactivity against new malvolents codes(by AV-TEST IN Germany)so,i think that heuristics would not be useless for avast!
Btw, Technical, avast! 4.5 should also have a better display of accented characters inside the Simple User Interface skins (at least for the non-default skins, such as e.g. the Sasha's ones). Is the tiny glitch you reported some time ago OK now? :)
Strange, I haven't noticed it either... I don't know if my automatic update works, but I'm 100% sure it's enabled for both, IAVS and Program update ... I've read Vlk's announcement that new version is out and I went to update manually...
Cheers !
But it was not a push update, at least, I did not receive the email.How do I activate that?
Technical:QuoteBut it was not a push update, at least, I did not receive the email.How do I activate that?
Yeah, probably that expalins it all... no I haven't received any e-mail notification either...
Hi all,
Here we go. The long-awaited beta version of avast! 4.5 is here!
New update ? Do you mean build 4.5.498 by that ? It's working great here, without any problem... actually, they solved all those glitches we reported to them... that's our Alwil team, and that's why we love them.
Anyway, where came that read error from ? Reading what ?
One thing always helps...
Uninstall avast! completely and reinstall it from the scratch. It will solve those problems...
You're probably right... report that to Alwil team, and I'm sure they will fix it... I'm not 100% sure, but my father also was unable to see avast! stamps when he used signatures in his Outlook Express. He still uses Win 98 SE. Is this in any case somehow related to your example ?
P.S. I'm glad you fixed your first problem...
Sasha, the skinless interface certainly isn't meant as "dispraise" of your skins!
The fact is that some people really need it (e.g. blind or otherwise disabled people who need to control the program with the keyboard through special programs that require standard windows interface).
I.e. it's not supposed to be used very often... but it's nice to have the option.
I REALLY like the new skinless Avast, but one thing I'd like to see - I'd like everything accessible from the main form without touching menus, like it is in the default skin.
Also, I'd like to be able to select the skinless UI as a skin, so that I can use it by default.
Hehe, why don't we just go back to DOS ::)
I guess everyone should be happy now !
Well, Technical... would you like to see skin like this ? ;D ;D ;D
Hm,Sasha i think that Status info filed could be made as a dropdown menu or something. It can be resized and you can create a button to show it,or on mouse pass. Its a bit more work to create those scripts,but end effect could be very interesting :)
Why would anyone want to hide that area ? I am not aware of any other antivirus program that has something similar...
OK, why would you like to hide it ? Isn't much easier to minimize whole skin ? ;)
Found it and updated to 4.5 OK
Galen, isn't signing supposed to verify the authenticity of your message? And that means that the recipient might be sure that it was YOU who wrote it and that no one modified it on it's way - and unfortunately 'no one' also excludes avast! :(
Wouldn't adding the 'clean stamp' break your signature?
Bye
Lukas.
Updating: Clicking on either of the "Updating" options produced a small download and installation event, even though the files are up-to-date.That is not a problem, that is by design. Avast needs some info from the server before it can check if your version is up to date or not.
From Outlook Express I can send emails with No attachments.....Increase the timeout in both OE and avast4.ini and see if it solves the problem
hat, if any, other security software do you recommend to run concurrently with avast!A good firewall (ZoneAlarm, Outpost, Kerio)
do not use large pictures in signatures or avatars (mind other users who might have weaker connection and smaller display resolution)
Outbound scanning was deactivated but still scans...
