This have been discussed before, please use the searchbutton before you post!

Vlk said in another thread about the release of avast 5:

"End of the year would be great, but it is not guaranteed in any way. We definitely don't want to rush it"

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=37002.msg310554#msg310554

So...just relax...it will be released when it's ready :)

December 31st is also in the last quarter of the year ;D
There is no need to worry, they won't rush to release until it is ready unlike some other companies.

One thing for sure you will find out here first as there will most likely be a beta version first.

There is an update for 4.8 around the end of this month begining of next month, that should keep you happy for a while ;D

What is most remarkable developments of the new avast! 5.0?
« Reply #3 on: September 18, 2008, 02:51:32 PM »
If you already know, of course.


Will be improved user interface (A new and more intuitive)?

Will be reduced false positives?

It is better antispyware protection and especially anti rootkit?

Serra possible to scan minimized in an icon next to the clock, for example? (Not minimizing the window in the taskbar)

I also hope that the engine of avast! 5 is more powerful, even remove viruses embedded where? One day I entered a virus and avast! could not erase


Thanks for the information

Gee "DavidR" we really don't want to mention AVG and Symantec do we... ;)

I do have a question on the forthcoming program update to Avast! 4.8; will that be picked up automatically when Avast! checks for updates or will I have to do something manually?

<Off topic>
There will likely be first a beta release, notified here, followed by notification of the regular release. If you do nothing in due course you will get a notification on your system there is a program update, do you want to install now,' etc.

Since most of us on the forums see the notification we do a manual program update then and there rather than wait. Program updates are unlike virus signature update in that they are cycled over a 7 day period to balance server load. You could be lucky and get notified early in the cycle or on the last day.

I really can't understand why there are so many people that are getting all this excited for a new AV program, for goodness sake, surely you didn't but a computer for this alone did you, it's meant to be used for many things, and it's sad we need to have an AV protection in the first place, but that's life isn't it.

Wait till the new version in Beta or full is released, surely you can do that, as the mods etc have more important things to do rather than spend time replying to the same old questions like "When is the Avast 5 coming out"!

Sorry for sounding so grumpy.  ;D

And I really can't understand why there are peoples that are NOT getting all this excited for avast 5!

Come on'...we talking avast 5!! OH YEAH...AVAST 5!  ;D

I am sure avast 5 will be a super-mega-bauta-extravaganza-special-killing-app ;)

I'm for sure really looking forward to this new version...just because it is will be NEW...with new GUI, and other sexy stuff!

And yes, I got excited when I bought a new car last year, but if I understand your reasoning alright, I should not be that...as I had an old car, and I know how to drive a car? ;)

Come on...we talking avast 5 here...the best thing on earth since sliced bread!  ;D

A completely different situation and you know it!

Come on, it's an Anti Virus Program, if you are all getting excited about something like this then I can only feel sorry for you.  :P

I am looking forward to Avast 5, but I am certainly not jumping up and down about it.

And I don't understand why you groan so much over us that looking forward and get exited to avast 5? If you aren't so excited, don't visit these excited-threads ;)

Ok, and then no other should jump up and down? I am not jumping either, but I am really excited and looking forward to avast 5.
