Title: ** INTRODUCING: New Official Avast Program Update 6.0.1367 **
Post by: Vlk on November 28, 2011, 09:06:08 PM
Hi all,

I'm glad to announce the general availability of a new avast program update, version 6.0.1367.

Here's a list of most important changes:
- Script Shield now works with Google Chrome, all versions of Firefox and Acrobat Reader
- Improvements in WebRep plugins (especially IE)
- Stability improvements in aswSP.sys and the avast! sandbox
- File system shield: improved on-close scanning
- avast! Internet Security: new antispam engine
- Web Shield and Script Shield: more options in the UI
- Added in-product avast! Market
- Various other security and stability related fixes

Special thanks goes to everyone who helped testing the beta builds.

It is recommended to upgrade to this latest version by using the in-product updater.
Alternatively, you can use these direct download links:
Free AV: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free.exe
Pro AV: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_pro.exe
IS: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_ais.exe


Note: If you have any problems with this new version, please do NOT post to this thread; start a new topic instead. Ideally one topic per issue.

Thanks
Vlk

Cool. The beta was working flawlessly for me (apart from the initial problem with the beta updater). Upading all my systems...

Hi,

thanks for the final one, seems to work stable, at least on my PC using IS.

Just one small, unimportant question (guess we dont need an extra thread for it  ;)): Will the term  avast! Market be localized to each language or does it stay as is? And thanks to the translators for localizing "Scan traffic from well-known browser processes only", since for some situations it became a vital option.

For German users interested, we put up some translation of the 6.0.1367 release notes (http://forum.avadas.de/threads/3687-avast!-6-0-1367).

Same her no problems in the beta builds, and just updated to 6.0.1367 from the 6.0.1364 beta and no problems.

The avast! Market will definitely be translated - at least to the ~14 languages our website is currently available in.

Edit: sorry, I misunderstood the question. See my answer below.

I've decided to keep the homogeneity and let it there as is.
avast WebRep, EasyPass, Market... was kept this way as they're more or less brand names imho.

Huh, sorry, I misunderstood the original question. I thought the question was about the market itself (the contents) - not the name.

The term "avast! Market" will stay as it is in most languages (some exceptions may apply).

We fixed all known issue that could lead to an BSOD.
If you were experiencing any BSODs with the latest version, I'd strongly recommend updating to this latest build asap.

Thanks for the update, VLK. Unfortunately, I must report a bug. I updated over b1289 using the installer (not via GUI) and the installer TOTALLY ignored my prev. version, didn't offer the usual options "upgrade - uninstall - repair", it behaved as if I had no AV AT ALL.

I hope you can fix this ASAP.

bye!

PD: The SUMo problem under xp64 is still not fixed.

Interesting, there was the same problem with the first beta version, but they fixed that later.

Actually, this is how it now behaves. The installer doesn't explicitly give you the "Update" option, but all your settings and licenses are kept when you do the install (so effectively, it is the same).

However, this has some advantages. For example, when you now download the IS installer a run it on top of Avast Free AV, it will indeed update the installation to an IS trial. Previously, it wouldn't do anything.

Problem with Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0_29 (current version). Java applets run in browsers (Opera or Google Chrome) and fail and hang system or run and hang system.  The lovely Java applet on www.thewoodheadsite.org.uk will not run at all (view this if you like railways).  The Tweak Test applet on www.dslreports.com ran but the system hanged.

I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.  I updated from Avast! free 6.0.1289 to 6.0.1367.

System also running Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 7.5.1.  System works perfectly with Avast! free 6.0.1289 and I can view www.thewoodheadsite.org.uk in all its glory.

ADDENDUM
I find that this problem also occurs with the bare bones Outpost Firewall Free (no Web Control, etc.)

Hello, I Have a question regarding the new processes' exclusion in the Web Shield.

Just in case I want to exclude all the executables of an application, could I add for example this line in Process to Exclude:
 
C:\Program Files\Online Armor\*

Will it work? Or maybe should I need to add all the executables one by one?

Thank you in advance

Sorry, that would not work! You must list each executable you want to exclude from scanning.

Thank you very much for your prompt replies, lukor and Tech.

So if I understand correctly I must add each executable I want to exclude from scanning. It's not currently possible to exclude whole folders.

It's not currently possible to exclude whole folders.
And I don't think it would be in a near future. File Shield can exclude folders/files. Web Shield works with processes (executables running) so I think the exclusion will need to be done one by one, like Lukor said.

Updated from within Avast this morning. Apparently when it is done that way, the updater
must just overwrite the old files with the new ones, as an actual setup installer does not run.
Works good that way. And I usually download the full installer to keep in case it is needed.

Since you have added the "Market", then why is still advertising in the main window? (I mean the free version). I think "what too much is not healthy" and in this case, I mean advertising. Do not give advice to reduce the number of these ads? Because I think that when you add the bookmark, they are unnecessary. Avast isn't growing popularity thanks to the ads, only that it is really wonderful.

Greetings.

Thanks for the clarification, VLK. Now, what about the "uninstall / repair" options?

In deed, all my settings were kept, just seems weird the way the installer behaved, looked like it ignored my prev installation.

Again the visual bug in Avast GUI is discovered. To reproduce it, make the following steps:

Quote
1) Open the Avast main window and go to the tab with types of scans (screenshot 1)

2) Expand the field with scan from Windows Explorer ... this error occurs when you move the scrolling bar down, but if you move it up or expand the window so that the scroll bar has disappeared, error does not appear (screenshot 2)

3) Close the window

4) Re-open the window: the scrolling bar disappeared and the Quick scan field is hidden under the tab's title (screenshot 3)

5) Expand any other field and the scrolling bar returns (screenshot 4)

This bug was noticed by Russian-speaking users in Avast Free and AIS on Vista and Windows 7 from version 6.0.1203 to version 6.0.1367, please correct this error!

It depends on the screen resolution. Please test using a different screen resolution (both higher and lower).

Wow. The French version was never well-translated, but the two items in the avast! Market take mistranslations to a whole new level.
You have 180 millions of users, don't you think some of your 180 employees (since you like to keep a 1 million to 1 ratio, which is a good thing) should be translators? Like, professional translators who know that "troubleshooting" is not a word in French?

I won't be so hard with the translators that give their time and effort to that.
If the translation was so bad, we will see a lot of complains here in forum and that not seems to be case.
Of course, all suggestions are welcome.

By the way, there will be an "extra" difficulty of homogeneity in such a large group of translators.

Hi everybody,

In france, we've got a problem when a yahoo mail is sent to sfr mail. Avast delete the message with the reason "Multiple Content-Type header - HIGH DANGER!"

Apparently, with the news version the problem disappear.

Do you know if a change have been done in 6.0.1367 related to MIME parameter for Email agent?

Thanks


Hi, I confirm that we've fixed that bug in current version. Sorry for such problems. Thanks.

This will be fixed in the next program update.
The origin of the problem is the fact that the explorer-scan box was not saving it's state correctly.

Thanks that fixed this error and take into account our observations.

I also want to give some suggestions about SafeZone:
1) firstly, it has no settings, which is pretty sad for computer security in SafeZone.
2) secondly, when you exit the SafeZone clipboard is not cleared and all the passwords I entered or copied, remain in memory and on the clipboard, it is unacceptable and outrageous for SafeZone!
3) Third, would not prevent the existence of a "digital" keyboard (such as to Kaspersky) for enter passwords and ensuring the safe operation against spyware!
4) Fourth, in SafeZone the ability to run even text files (with passwords) through a sandbox environment.

It was first reported there (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=81028.msg663366#msg663366) and then confirmed for German localization (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=81028.msg663387#msg663387).

This is going to sound stupid, but since downloading the new version, my virus scans are going much faster.

Like a Quick Scan that used to take 6 minutes now is finished between 45 seconds and 2 minutes.

Is that normal?

Last time Avast scanned that quickly was when a virus in my system corrupted it. I am probably just being paranoid though.

Thanks avast! for this release.

I updated from .1289 to .1367 via the program interface hoping the "6008 error" (unexpected shutdown) would not show up again like in all the "betas" in-between.

Since update to .1367 I had 4 def. updates with shutdowns and/or reboots afterwards and guess what:
No "6008 error" anymore!

Is it now just a mystery, because everyone complaining had that behaviour also in version .1289 except for me, or did you find that little devil and killed it?

No, I wasn't suggesting the users should change their screen resolutions *permanently*. I was suggesting to do it for a simple test, which can eventually give more information to the developers to solve the problem.

This is not just for this case, but for any case where a problem arises, so to narrow down the source of it. In this case, it WAS a GUI problem, so asking from a user to test a different resolution and report back seems not *that* extreme to me.

Making a test with a particular (temporal) change so to report back about it is not asking the user to change their "way of life".

Regarding the problem I reported earlier with using the Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0_29 with Avast! free 6.0.1367, I have tested various things and believe that the problem is connected with the use of Sandboxie (version 3.62).  The difficulty seems to be with Sandboxie while closing the process running under the control of Sandboxie.

I have not encountered any other problems so far.  I reported this to the Sandboxie people.

POSTSCRIPT: This is a Sandboxie problem pure and simple.  The use of JRE is a coincidence.  Sandboxie hangs the system when closing the process uner its control, in this case a web browser (Opera, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer) whether or not JRE has been used.

Everytime I want to manually perform an "program update" (I select this option always to update my definitions), my gadgets disappear from desktop and I have to reenable them. This does not happen when I try to to perform an 'Engine and virus definitons update'

I'm runing Avast! Free 6.0.1367 (latest version) on Windows 7 Professional SP1 x86
Also, I mention that I don't have the Avast! gadget installed.

Thats been a known problem for many months i believe, not a big issue though as you dont have to run a program update very often, only when there is a new release which you can discover here on the forums or you would also be notified by a ( blue ) avast popup or by opening the UI once in a while to check.
When there actually is a program update the system will reboot after updating and the sidebar will return on it's own.

You may be right, but the majority of users prefer to do the all in one update just to make sure that everything is up to date every time they check, without enetering the forums to see if there's something new.

Anyway, let's face it that it is a bug, and it would be nice if it would be corrected when a new  version is ready. Maybe the programmers forgot about this. I can't understand how this can happen... if Avast check's it's own files, why does it conflict with Windows Gadgets?
