i restored a backup yesterday and didnt even realise there was a version 8. today i was looking in the avast program from systray and a single line on opening the avast program interface on my pc said not connected with avast! account.. no popups or alarms
. my avast has been saying its up to date after running both program and definition updates. (includes as i type this and i havent yet installed version 8.) anyway went to the WEBSITE avast interface through the link in program (saying not connected to account), i am an IS paid registered user and it after a few minutes then said connected to account on my pc but not on the web interface. not sure if it was rebooting or logging off and reconnecting, i did both but it now says connected on devices tab on web interface aswell as my program. anyway reason im commenting here, was browsing avast web interface site and it said version 8..well that flagged minialarm bells as when i noticed it said not connected to avast account in my program, kneejerk reaction, i clicked the manual update, both programs and definitions. as mostly always happens, i got a progress and updated successfully but still showed version 7. at first i thought perhaps only new customers get v8 and 'allreadies' just get v7 updates. however still thinking something up decided to visit here, glad i did. so now i think somethings definitely up
. this after restoring my system yesterday and running several online scanners(not at same time in order of Eset( pulled up 42 threats incl. downloadadmin,babylon a,c,e, messengerplus,ibryte,askc,somotoA,alllyrics several locations over),then Housecall, Norton, Kaspersky then back to Avast Main pc program) as a secondary backup to avast after restore.
my system is win7-64 and my avast showing 7.0.1455 program and 130518-1 definitions. have downloaded version 8 from your site and will install now. just thought id mention this for some feedback. will probably post in another area of this forum too though this is update related.
