My Avast not detecting Windows 8.1
« on: November 11, 2014, 01:58:30 AM »
When I login to my.avast.com, avast does not detect my OS on my Windows 8.1 machine.

I get the same thing when I look through the avast UI account tab.

Anyone else have this problem?

Good to know that it is not just me, bad to know that it is another flaw in avast...

Same thing seen with my Win 8.1 system here.  I also verified that an XP and Win 7 system DO show the right stuff.

Not a very big one, though.  Assuming not unlimited resources, I guess I'd rather the attention be paid to virus protection vs. web site perfection.

What I mean is that there is always something broken here or there in the my avast account system whether it be an error in the gui or the website or both.
