Well,
the latest engine (after three last minor bugfixes and one major HW fix on my G5) .... seems to work 100% OK, or, at least, no bugs were found during the latest full test. Thus, it's the right time to pass this new heart to the betatesters
.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BETATESTERS:
installation:0) if you don't have avast! for Mac yet, get it here:
http://files.avast.com/files/mac/avast.2.74.zip1) download and unzip
http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/md80.zip, you will get new com.avast.MacAvast.MAD engine
2) quit both avast! and agent from avast's menubar (if grayed out, uncheck persistent mode in Preferences first)
3) go to the /Applications/avast!.app/Contents/Resources and make a backup of the previous com.avast.MacAvast.MAD
4) place the new com.avast.MacAvast.MAD file there, and run avast! again
verification:hover mouse above VPS 0812xx-x text in the left upper corner -
Engine version: 0.0.80-beta must be shown there (not 0.0.68 nor 0.0.69)
task:do the scan of your harddrive - the more files/stuff = the better. the scan must complete flawlessly, daemon shouldn't die, neither the GUI.
in the case of any problem (futile cycling, crash), please let me immediately know (cimbal :at: avast.com). in the case of no problem, please let me immdiately know too

.
back to previous version:apply the steps 1) to 4) again, just use the previously backed-up com.avast.MacAvast.MAD file (or, when lost, get one here:
http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/md69.zip)
BONUS: Yes, this version doesn't need ANY license and will work for 400 days since now (but can also accept any valid license at any time).
... and note, it's NOT new version of avast! yet - just the beta (or, rather, a release candidate) of the core engineRegards,
pc
Any help/report/suggestion will be very appreciated.
