Is it just me or is the splash screen slightly different?

I'm not aware of any changes (which doesn't necessarily mean there weren't any ;))

Strange. I've run a Standard scan with Archives. I have 2 HDD's, one with 2 partitions (C and D) and one with 1 partition (E). Scan was going really fast through C and now on D. However last time i checked it was almost 90% but now it's again at 60%. Thats very strange. How come percentage went backwards?

Was there a virus found in between?

That's the reason, I'm afraid (not the "Continue" choice, but the virus detection). As you probably know, once avast! finds a virus, it switches into so called "panic mode" (thorough scan, basically). Now, in this new scanning mode a different formula is used to estimate the progress (to better match the scanning mode). So, at this first detection, the progress may really jump even backwards.

Right. I remember someone mentioned this "panic mode" before. Thanks. That makes sense :)

Upgrade went smoothly.  I decided to try re-enabling the web shield and putting the standard shield down from high to normal.  But web pages wouldn't load so I put things back the way they were.  So the upgrade works just as well for me as the previous version.

This morning I downloaded 4.8.1330 beta & rebooted.  Everything is fine except Windows Defender showed up in my taskbar with a yellow apostrophe.  I clicked on the WD icon in the taskbar & it said I haven't run a scan in ten days.  I have WD running in realtime & scheduled scanning.  It wanted to run a scan, so I let WD scan my system.  Today after work I booted up my computer and again WD showed up in my taskbar saying I haven't run a scan in ten days!  ???  In fact this morning before I downloaded 1330 it had run the scheduled scan.  I have never had this problem until 1330.  Is this a bug in 1330?

See my sig, XP Sp3.

Off the top of my head I can't see how it is, avast doesn't have any interaction with it and the setting of the asterisk would be a WD issue and avast scans and alerts to malware, but it most certainly doesn't change other program settings. That I feel would be a big no no.

I don't use WD but when unexplained freaky things happen I would suggest a reinstall of WD.

I think it is none other than a co-incidence, avast couldn't set a last scanned date 10 days early to trigger this 10 day warning, so I would first check your system clock.

System clock is right, it is one of the first things I checked plus I use Alphaclock, it uses atomic clock to keep my system time spot on.  I think WD & '1330 are somehow conflicting.

I proudly made a thorough scan with this BETA and everything is fine & smooth so far. I very love this product, the one I never had to whine over from years so far. :D

I would be surprised if there were a conflict like this as it is like an administrative/housekeeping task, e.g. presumably nothing stopped the WD scan from running were a hooking style conflict might occur.

Of course you could co back to 4.8.1296 and prove or disprove that possibility.

Uninstalled avast! 4.8.1330, rebooted. Uninstalled WD.

Installed avast! 4.8.1296 rebooted, installed WD.

Updated to avast! 4.8.1330.

Now everything is ok so far. :)

There had been no recent changes to my system & no problems before I originally updated to 4.8.1330, so the finger still has no where to point except to '1330. ???
