The update has now been officially released as 4.7.1029. Thanks to everyone who helped testing.
Hi *,
again, it's my pleasure to announce a pre-release version of the upcoming update of avast! Home/Professional. The version currently has a nice build number - 4.7.1024 [Edit: now 4.7.1026).
How to install it (for starters - most people already know this trick anyway ): simply download and run the following program: link removed. That's about all it takes (provided you have the latest version of avast Home/Pro already installed, of course).
There is a number of fixes in this release. Here's the list of most important changes:
- fixed a bug that was sometimes causing crash of the avast screensaver during its initialization
- improved handling of corrupted files in the SIS and CAB unpackers
- Standard Shield: fixed a minor memory leak in the Vista (and Vista only) driver
- Standard Shield: improved the "move to chest" command in Vista
- Standard Shield: the default scan exceptions are no valid for read/write access only (no execute)
- added more "installer" unpackers
- added more winexec unpackers (enigma, ...)
- for NTLM proxy authorization (via ISA Server) it is now possible to specify the account under which the avast service will perform the update
- added Arabic language pack
Any comments on this release are very welcome and appreciated!
Thanks
Vlk
