Installed by uninstalling the previous version via safe mode & then installing the new version. (the IS that is)
The two things I experience are I'm getting this "hick-ups" when switching to a different area of the software.
*.1483 run much smoother, in that case.
And, translations are not doing well. Getting both Dutch and English text and so on...
Especially on the main screen.

The Dutch translation in particular hasn't been finished in time for the release - so yes, the Dutch localization hasn't been updated, so new items are in English.

Yeah, when I booted up and saw it after install, I was thinking myself already that this has to do something with that ...
Not that it is a problem though, just mentioning it  ;)

I had mine automatically moved from the right side to the middle. After moving it back to the right side and restart it stays there.

Another Problem i had with WebRep: as some ppl reported already in 1486 Beta 3: need to refresh the page to get WebRep working on Google search. Further AdBlock isn't working and doesn't show icon. I had to disable AdBlock, restart and enable AdBlock to get AdBlock working again and WebRep to work on first load of a page.

Further as previously reported: neither with 1487 nor 1488 the "UpdatusUser" account is removed and the WebRep window poping up after clicking on the icon during a session to give rep. still can't be moved.

On the AdBlock-Topic: I have to test if un- and reinstall Avast helps as it helped some here: http://forum.chip.de/browser-add-ons/adblock-plus-mozilla-neustart-kaputt-1721779.html

Yet i want to report another bug: (after disable/enable adblock so icon is shown): Reproduceable, some sites don't fully show the WebRep icon (like on google.at firefox jetpack search - golem website see attach) - in Firefox/PaleMoon(added manually)/Chrome. IE doesn't show WebRep on google search at all, but the icon on top - same liek at http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=121006.0

The no internet because of webshield issue is gone for now. However, when I open the GUI the PC hangs for a minute or two then the PC operates smoothly again.

I recommend when updating to this version to do a clean uninstall.

I just updated thru the GUI with no problems.  While there's been no word yet (unless I missed it, of course) from the avast team, it would appear that either the GUI-update problem was quietly fixed in one of the most recent def/engine updates, or else the problem is/was related to certain specific hardware/OS/software combinations.
Intel Atom D2700, 2 gig RAM, Win 7 x64 SP1 & IE-11, Firefox 51.0
(default). 320 gig HD, 15Mb DSL, Win firewall, Avast 12.3.2280 free, SpywareBlaster, MBAM Prem., Crypto-Prevent

Didn't work (used actual cleaning tool too if you wonder). Still have to Dis-/Enable the AddOn to have it working/been shown.

i noticed slight detail about the Avast! Security Plugin in Opera 12.15, it's using the old WebRep design and not the new Online Security design

This is really a good question. I am waiting now since some days with the execution of the update. Is it now safe to update or will a new version be published?

Well that's odd. I just upgraded from 1486 beta to 1488 and after restart I see something installed Google Chrome...

Don't hold your breath.
I also cannot get 8.1488 Pro to work on my Win8 64 Bit.
8.1483 worked just fine. My bet it's the added "STUFF"
