Hi *,
here I'm again. The next program update of avast 4.x Home/Pro is approaching, and as usual, it is my pleasure to provide you with a stable (even though pre-release) build for you to test. This is going to be one of the shortest betas ever - we expect to officially release this update to the public in just a couple of days.
How to install it (provided you have a previous version of avast Home/Pro already installed):
1. NEW! go to avast settings, and on the Troubleshooting page, disable the avast self-defense module (this is NECESSARY for the update to complete successfully)
2. download and run the following program: link snapped
3. after it completes, re-enable self-defense module (disabled in step 1.)
That's about all it takes.
This build contains quite a few minor improvements, in both the scanning engine and the other parts of the program.
Any comments on this release are welcome and appreciated!
Thanks
Vlk
