Hi Dwarden,

That is why simple regression tests are so vitally important, especially for acquired software and it proofs also that proper release management is extremely difficult to achieve, a tiny small error and you wonder for years what is right or what is wrong.

I wish avast team all the wisdom in the world to handle these issues according to best practices known.
