* Introducing * - beta version of upcoming avast update (4.7.932)

[avvidro]

Up to date beta is 4.7.932. After testmonies of all being ok, please let me ask:

1) What 9xx number do you, Igor or Vlk, expect to be the new Official version?
2) What are your plans for 4.8 version?

Thanks.

Well, I couldn't resist installing the beta.

There were three required reboots but it's working.

I'll play with it tomorrow.

Thanks.

No particular number is set to be the final release - but it should be out quite soon, so I'd say something < 940.
Right now, there are no plans for 4.8... I mean, maybe there will be no 4.8 and we'll jump directly to 5.0; hard to say right now.

Any plans for rootkit detection in 5.0?  We need it ....

under win98, i tried to install beta, as i always do, and i couldn't because the update program froze..... i had to manually kill the avast01 process....

since then, i can't update mit viral definition anymore, the avast01 process runs when i boot  and  don't know what to do for it not to begin at windows start ..... i just can't update (even normal updates...) please help !

Why don't you try to run the beta again, finish the installation, boot.
If that does not work, maybe just deleting the servers.def file, kill any avast#.setup process running and start the update. You'll be 'downgraded' to the non-beta version (I hope so).

running the beta again doesn't work..... i will try the server.def as you say...

[Lisandro]

You'll be 'downgraded' to the non-beta version (I hope so).

If not... better will be uninstalling, booting, installing again...

Maybe the servers are a little too busy right now - as the new update is being uploaded.

[DavidR]

Is this still a beta update or is the a general release ?

[igor]

It's the official update, i.e. not beta anymore.

[DavidR]

Thanks, dial-up has just finished chugging through the update

[RejZoR]

When i want to set password via trey icon i get this each and every time. Used to work fine before. Donno how i missed this one during beta testing. Guess i wasn't paying much attention to it during that period...



Why this happens and how to fix it (only via program update?)?

Painless update via the tray icon!

Thanks Alwil Team!
