*** INTRODUCING: New pre-release build of avast [NOW 5.0.590] ***

[Lisandro]

New build seems to have corrected the runonce startup entries, update all avast drivers and it's working stable for more than 5 hours.

10 hours... it's ok.
Full scanning at low priority does ok.

Except that AIS is always asking for VirtualBox connection when I start a virtual machine.
Are the settings being saved at all?

In this new version, does avast alert the user when its firewall is turned off and will the summary page say attention instead of secured?

Yes. It was always this way (not only in the last beta).

This is a specific (known) compatibility issue with Sun VirtualBox. There's currently no plan to solve it, sorry (it's not that easy, and probably not worth it).

Thanks

Is this has been fixed ?

PS : Also the clear log for the firewall is this fixed ? As there a french guy would like to know it.

The problem is still there.  If I open one or two additional tabs in sandboxed IE 8 32 bit (no add-ins) (Win7 64 Ultimate), solid black/white screens happen more often than not.

@Yandros: tested IE8 x86 (Win7 x64) and it works fine here. So, when you get black/white screens, run Task Manager (taskmgr.exe), go to iexplore.exe process, right-click on it and choose "Create dump file" and upload it on ftp (http://support.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=18). Please note you may have more iexplore.exe processes running - so you need to generate dump file for each iexplore.exe process. Thanks.

3 files uploaded.  Look for Yandros_iexplore.dmp, Yandros_iexplore(2).dmp and Yandros_iexplore(3).dmp

Let me know if you didn't get them.

Yes, I can confirm that this is fixed

So far no crashes, working fine.

It's there all the time...

[Rednose]

Tech, I am just curious, but are your booting slowdowns solved with the 5.0.590 pre-release

Sure. They're clean now.

[cadremis]

why the options to configure avast 5.0.590 look like this bad in this version?
