WTH Why wasn't i notifyed of this new program lol I just downloaded v5 am now tweeking settings

With over 100 million avast 4.8 users there is a rolling update notification to balance server load, so that is most likely you haven't had your notification.
I would suggest you hold off on tweaking until you get a better understanding of how avast5 works and what the impact of any tweak might be as there is no 'Restore Default Setting' button.
So why dump SAS and what is wrong with free you have been using the free version of avast for how long
The DCOM attacks are external and random not targeted, they should be blocked by your firewall (avast is acting as a fall back here), what is your firewall ?
