You've posted the wrong link. Besides, Windows 8.1 is not officially released yet so that's that. When it will be released, avast! will also be ready for it.

Thank you for getting back to me so soon. Sorry about the link. I've fixed it now.
I realise that Windows 8.1 is not officially released yet, but I just wanted to bring this error to avast!'s attention so they can work on it.
