Windows 7 x64bit
« on: January 10, 2009, 01:43:56 AM »
Just to let you know that Avast .1296 seems to work flawlessly, however Windows 7 does not recognize that it is up-to-date after an udpate but see below....

FIXED:  Somehow after another reboot, the system now considers that Avast IS updated properly.  (don't ask..  Win7 *is* beta after all lol)

sorry for the misinformation.

So does that mean that Avast will work with Windows 7?  I had OneCare, which doesn't work with Windows 7, probably because they are going to discontinue it soon.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

There are several avast forum members using the current beta version of windows 7 without problem. avast was also one of the first AVs to support the Vista beta builds also.

That however, wouldn't make me give windows 7 beta a go, I'm in no rush to beta test an OS on an operational not test system. Not to mention downloading it on dial-up, my beard would be much longer by then ;D

Yes, both on 32 and 64 bits flavors.

I have Windows 7 beta 64-bit and tried to install Avast. It works if I start manual scanning, but if try to start it automatically, it shows an error: Program cannot activate resident part (Standard Shield provider not found). Any ideas how to solve it? I have updated version

Interesting. Right now I'm testing avast on W7 build 7025 (a post-beta build) and haven't noticed any issues, really.

Is there anything in the logs?

Thanks

Doesn't work for me--on clean system. New beta fails same way: BSOD in tdy.sys.  No other AVs work either, except eset beta64.

What if you don't install the Network Shield, Internet Mail and Web Shield providers?
In that configuration, the system shouldn't even load tdix.sys.
