Hi all,

I am happy to announce new version AVAST 2016 (build number 2016.11.1.2253).
This version is focused on minor improvements and bug fixing.

What's new:
+ New firewall driver for Win8/10 - fixes issues with non working firewall

+ SecureLine start is faster - new OpenVPN method

+ Easier turning off email signatures

+ Faster loading of passwords list

+ Fixed installation of SafeZone browser

+ Extensions are now Firefox 64-bit compatible

+ SafeZone browser: Added security extension (phishing protection)

+ SafeZone browser: Fixed Pay mode crashes

+ SafeZone browser: Settings and bookmarks now synced to Pay mode (after browser restart)

+ Security fixes

How to install:

1. Update from existing Avast version via Settings -> Update -> Update program

2. Or you can download and install from here:

Not a good stable release of Avast!.We are accepting HIPS and other(DeepScreen)improvement
And pls Remove the Ads from GUI of avast! free.It is too annoying.

HIPS will hopefully come with release 2 for DeepScreen it could be an amazing feature for protection if it would scan much more files,
have better performance and not a so big footprint on the harddrive.

What about that?

Just installed the latest version and no issues to report.

Great job.

The free version is running well on Windows 10 for me.

Everything is OK here with 'over the top' installation except additional language is not preserved AGAIN.

NG now running after a custom install

Just installed the latest version and no issues to report.

Great job.

I've just looked over the statistics and the firewall stats are not showing anything - even though it says it's running.

A repair and clean install have not fixed it.

Anyone got the same issue?

NG installed on this machine, but not sure if it's running, or if theres something hidden in my Asus Bios to enable to get it to work

There is a bug in avast setup which unfortunately won't install NG on Win10 (at least on Win10 10568, not sure with old 10240 build).

Ok well that answered that then, thanks PK


Have 10586.71 build here

Oh cmon, seriously? I was just about to re-install avast! because of NG and now this? *sigh* So, if I have Windows 10, even if I check Secure VM, it won't get installed?
