Sorry, the current plan is to have the new update pushed out by Tuesday.

As a temporary work around for the users of the professional edition - the problem will go away if you disable the GZIP unpacker in the Web Shield's settings. To do this, open the avast Enhanced User Interface, go to the Tasks folder, right click the Resident Protection task, go to the Web Shield section and there, on the Packers page, uncheck the GZIP option.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to do the same in the avast Home Edition user interface.

Thanks much for your patience,
Vlk

Vlk, I think we all would like to know the REAL date when the fix will come, so we can make a decision about it. The update was scheduled yesterday and I don't want to endure this problem much longer, I have to kill and restart avast several times a day. The options I am left with are
1) wait for an unknown amount of time for the fix to come, will it be days, weeks or months ?
2) downgrade to the previous version
3) "upgrade" to the beta version (which might have problems too)
4) switch to another antivirus software...

Ok, it's late. But it's a matter of days not weeks or months...

The fixed version has been released as a public beta for now (I mean public beta of avast! 4.8, not avast! 5.0).

Here are the steps to install it:
1. Disable avast! self-defense in Settings / Troubleshooting
2. Download and run the following file: http://files.avast.com/files/beta/aswbeta.exe
3. When the upgrade is done, re-enable the self-defense again

The official update will most likely be released during the next week.

Testing the beta on Windows 7 even though I never had a problem with avast! memory usage.  8)

I'm not ready for V5 beta testing yet.

There are a few other fixes or small improvements there, too.

igor(alwil team),
thanks for the update..but just a simple question....
since you are from alwil team, I would trust that this "beta update" is a "stable" one?right?
because I don`t want to mess up my avast!settings, since my old laptop is already having small issues regarding memory usage.
regarding the said official update next week, hopefully it would be really next week...

again,thanks.

Like all things in life no guarantees with betas, though this one isn't a huge change so should be fine unlike the version 5 beta which is a very large change to everything. Generally the avast beta builds have been stable (version 5 beta aside), no issues so far after installing the 4.8.1335 beta.
