AVAST 2016 R1 SP1 (2016.11.1.2245)

[davexnet]

Installed the new version (file and web shields only) onto 32 bit XP and Windows 7 PC's.   
Declined Chrome.  Both installs were good (so far).  No reboot requested, the product just started
working.  One of the PC's are just on the edge of the hardware requirement, it's a Pentium 4
with SSE but not SSE2.  Haven't seen any crash so far.

I installed the latest build AVAST 2016 R1 SP1 (2016.11.1.2245)

But it still says Beta in the UI.

Is that a bug or something?

Not if you did run a beta before.

If you took part in a previous beta session, you are on the beta stream, should another beta session be started then you would get that beta version.

To come off the beta stream you effectively have to do a reinstall of the non-beta release.

Ok so I am actually running the "Final" build however it says Beta because I am a beta tester. Kind of like how I am a Windows Insider too

Got it Thanks guys

Where do I find the option to delete user created scans? I still can't seem to find the option. Not the best GUI design if person like me can't find it...

You need to go into the the Scan for viruses, when you select your custom scan from the dropdown list - it will now show Delete custom scan name. The Test bit in the image is my Text/comment for this test.

Who install avast by online installator? Did you have a SZB?

Updating Premier on xpSP4 via GUI
Not anticipating any issues.

Who install avast by online installator? Did you have a SZB?

I have never used an on-line installer for several reasons. Mainly security if you had another AV installed (possible conflict) or had no AV installed (lacking protection) and finally I don't believe you have the same control over what is installed. e.g. I don't know if it allows a custom install.

Keep getting the connection was reset error message when trying to download the new free version

Spent several hours prior to 4 PM attempting to download full executable for AIS 2016 only to have failure at the end of download every time.

Not sure what changed between 4 PM here and 11 PM now but something did as a full download did complete properly.  Will be doing a full clean install sometime later on.

The only problem was firewall > had to repair the installation after update to get it started. But it is a usual routine for me after every single update
