Hi

New paying customer as of today upgraded to AIS.

I installed it on my small home network (3 computers 1 XP SP3 and 2 Wind 7 HP) and it appears to be working fine except for the sound problem in sandbox on my XP machine.

I have 5.0.594 on all three computers

Downloaded 5.0.656

Tried to install it over 5.0.594 only the XP computer

Got the following error message.

The setup does not contain all the needed components.  Uninstall the current version and then reinstall (Presumably the new version)

I did not uninstall 5.0.594 and then try to reinstall 5.0.656

Anyone have any other suggestions.

Thanks

Next thing I knew 5.0594 would not apply the virus definitions update.  Gave me a big red error message

So I thought.  This is no good if it is not updating the virus definitions

So I decided to try and reinstall 5.0594 and low and behold the program asked me if I wanted to uninstall it.

I said what the heck and did

Then I installed 5.0656.   It installed fine except

I had to do the entire setup of custom scans etc all over again.

Then I checked the Real-Time Shield section and guess what.  No Process Virtualization option

So I thought to myself maybe I should try and install 5.0656 on my Windows 7 desktop computer and see what happens

Installed in nothing flat no problem

However the "Process Virtualization" Real-Time Shield option showed up.

I did the same on my Windows 7 Netbook and viola PV also showed up there.

So I figured getting 2 out of 3 ain't too bad considering the one I didn't get was my XP computer.

Maybe, just maybe that the no PV on the XP upgrade to 5.0656 was the reason that I got the initial error message of missing components when I tried to install 5.0656 right over 5.0594 on my XP computer.

Did Avast lock out the Process Virtualization feature on XP computers intentionally until some problems like the lack of sound in the Sandbox can be fixed?

just wondering why a pre-release is needed, any other software company would have just sent the (minor) update, after some internal testing. But okay, one cannot blame Avast for being extra-careful ;)

I am running XP-pro w/sp3, have Avast! Internet Security 5.0.594 and downloaded the 5.0.656 beta, but I too get the error message shown above!  I attempted to install over the 594 version.  Any ideas?

Looks like I'll wait until the release version since I'm on XP.

@ VLK

Is there any plan to add scanning to restart (boot-time scan) on 64 bit systems?

TIA
Hello,

This is planned for version 5.1, which is coming soon ;)

5.0.594 has been the official release for over 9 months now
5.0.656 is the pre-release available to the public for beta testing (not alpha)

5.0.377 was released 7 months ago.
5.0.594 was released may be two months ago.

Thankyou for the clarification.  :)

Besides what Vlk has said, all I have noticed so far is the avast! news service (under the advertisment on the summary page...)
Can you post a screenshot? I have the pro version and can't see it.

On the summary page, scroll down under the advert. It is the second picture here:

I use the free version.

It is being worked on for a target of version 5.1
