So, Giraffe, does this build work on your system? Remember than it's a pre-release build, so we don't actually guarantee that all the issues on the list are really solved.
First of all : I couldn't stand it, I downloaded the Beta (aswbeta.exe) and installed, I knew that I couldn't wait till the final build
Well I know this is a beta, and I can stand it's glitches , so I downloaded the
aswbeta.exe and installed 4.8.1178 Beta
(I followed all the instructions posted by Vlk) but at startup my machine froze up, so I rebooted manually it and all went fine. But when after performing the CHKDSK at startup the 5 minutes delays still appears, in fact it's my only problem with this version. I want to make it clear . But as I said it I know this is a beta, and I'm going to stick with it, I can stand the 5 minutes delay in part because I'm testing this Beta and besides that I perform the CHKDSK 3 times a week,
so please take this as a feedback. I'm using Avast for nearly a half year, and I like it. It doesn't matter to me , if the scan takes me 3 hours (average time) to scan my HDD), I use the deep scanning mode. And I'm not going to change of vendor, for free, is a complete suite. So my congratulations despite the glitches to the developement team (I know that they do their best with a lot of heart, a lot of mugs of coffe, sandwiches and in less grade cigarrettes
etc , thanks to the moderators of this forum and all my peers.
Thanks very much for an excellent antivirus
