AVAST 8 Program update! (8.0.1488)

[hectic-mmv]

"I cant install security plugin for chrome browser."

The actual install button doesn't function, right? So it's not just me, apparently...

You can install chrome avast! online security plugin from chrome directly. In avast! browser protection settings click install chrome plugin, chrome opens, click install button and chrome plugin will be installed then. Or install it via Chrome store.

There is known issue, although you have avast! chrome plugin installed, avast! ui will not notice that.

When is avats! 9 out?


Bitumen!

Given that 8 was only released a couple of months ago so you can probably expect 9 around the same time next year.

Nice one r kid

I updated Avast Free from UI anyway and it is fine so far.
I hope forced Pro Trial bug is gone.I am tired of doing clean installs.

Updated & working, except for the WebRep glitch in FF.

Yep this is a bit annoying, hope they will fix this glitch very soon.

Just confirm I couldn't fix my problem again when I did a clean installed and got a BSOD http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=122948.msg935153#msg935153

What went horrible wrong with v8.0.1488 from old v8.0.1483, @Craigb are you getting the same problem with you're ASUS G75VW laptop BSOD might relate to drivers & hardware incompatible

lukor PM'd me as a result of the dumps and information I uploaded they have identified a possible issue with the aswTDI driver and I have agreed to try a patch to see if it resolves it. You could PM him and ask to be included in this patch trial/test.

The only difference being my BSOD was on win7 32bit.

Thanks DavidR I would prefer to leave this patch trial/test to an experience beta tester as I've already gave them the dump file, I've kept the backup of the dump file just in case they might ask for it again.

PS. Could someone PM Avast if they received my dump file as I just wanted to know if they've got it.

I usually include a readme.txt file when I upload zipped dump files so it can be identified, that is how lukor contacted me.

Sh#t! I forgot to include a readme.txt


PS. Do I need to upload the dump again to FTP

I got as far as 1487 and had to uninstall due to IE browser continually crashing, sent my dumps of to igor via email so I'm still waiting on the conclusion as of yet.

My issue is very likely related to the browser protection module even though I did try disabling it but made no difference, I should have tried uninstalling the browser protection module and tested without it but unfortunately I didn't think of that before it was removed.

My system is the G74sx Speedy

I've upload my dump file again and include a readme.txt file in the zip file to ftp/incoming location under file name SpeedyPCdumpsfile2013-05-03.7z (41mb) regarding the BSOD problem with W8 64bit please let me know by PM that you've got the dump file thank you and sorry for not including a readme.txt file explaining the issue.

I think Avast desktop icon should be updated to the logo on Avast website and forums. It looks more 2D and nicer than the desktop icon. Just saying
