Hi all,

I have done a clean install of FREE Avast RC1 and issues I have are as follows:

1. Avast Boot-Time scan, at the start of boot-time scan this comes up:

Avast Softwere/Avast/resources/resources.pak/resourses.pak Error 42125 (zip archive is corrupted) WHY? I never had any issues with Boot-Time Scan in Avast 8.
I have reported this issue since beta 3 and not resolved as yet.
Hope this issue will be resolved in next release:)

Other issue I have is with the VPS updates all Avast sounds and popups are enabled and update options all boxes have check marks in them.
VPS update is set default (Automatic update) but I don't get any alert NO sound or popup alert when VPS is updated and I don't know why.
I do get silent updates, does anyone else have this issue? English language

I hope these small issues will be looked at and resolved before final release

Avast is great, keep up the great work Avast Team

Is the windows media player bug we were experiencing with beta 3 present in RC1?

i have question, does the upgrade process backup old settings (all and any of them) before the conversion to new version ?

Installed RC1 over 8 and all looked to be going fine.
Did the reboot and opened the avast ui and clicked on settings, but nothing happened.
I had to do another reboot before it worked.

[lord ami]

Just for the sake of testing I recovered a machine whose .exe files were not working (wasn't an easy fix :/
and tried the upgrade path. Everything worked out fine, it was quite old machine with W7 and lots of programs installed.

Following the entire process
for me it was flawless,
only noticed after the first boot of avast 2014 RC1,the windows security center didn't recognize the status of avast.
A second reboot has solved this "problem"

Hi! Try this process update from avast 8 to RC2 and work well! Only two minor problem: also for me the security center did not recognize antivirus and firewall afther first reboot! A second reboot solve the problem! And the icon of safe zone remained the old one! In this case i simply click property then change icon selcted the new one and click ok and it was succesful replaced!

Same here; IE10 freezes and nothing shows on the icon ( as it does in FF24 ).
