Hi!
I've had troubles with this new version (5.0.677). Sometimes it doesn't update automatically the motor and virus database! Even I have a desktop computer, in which it doesn't update since the program new version was installed (09/24/10). Am I the only one having these problems? Help me, please!

When will a new version be released?
avast! still has a lot of bug..  :(
Fix them, and then avast only needs to improve the detection, and it will be a great software!

Fix them

Easy to say ? But is it easy to do it ?

A program will never be bugs free.

But avast has lots of big bugs.
Other antiviruses haven't got any, or if they have, the bugs will be fixed in about 1-2 months.

Well understand it that avast! is releached for like if im not wrong 3-4 months or more so its take times to fixes bugs.

Just be patient and if there bugs then let a member of their team to know and they will try their best.

Mr.Agent

PS : Its aint easy to do and got a job like this so let give them the time and thank them. If you batch them its wont help its will just be worst.

I don't know about "big bugs". It seems to me that 99% of the users have not encountered any.

Nice to be updated, but not when Avast now blocks the ability to view web pages. I'm going to have to replace it till the fix is in :-[

For example, lots of people can't access the net through the browsers when the web shield is on. I think it is a "big bug". And In my opinion, about 99,99% of users don't know this forum, and don't report any bugs on it.

Lots of people who visit the 'support' forums you mean, which is par for a support forum. If this were a 'bug' it would be impacting 'every' avast user, that is the nature of a 'bug.'

That clearly isn't the case (though it is a pain for those it is affecting) or there would be a flood of the 130 million plus avast users hitting the forums. But for those that are experiencing a problem. It needs to be worked through to try and identify the cause as there are so many different permutation of what is on an individual users system, firewall, other security applications, previous AV (if remnants remain) and any number of other things that may well conflict with the web shield. So this isn't something that is easily found.

By far the greatest majority of avast5 users are suffering none of these issues, but they don't come to the forums to shout about the fact that they don't have any problem.

Pleased to report that (after a firewall component uninstall and reinstall) the long filename/short filename problem appears resolved in 5.0.677. Starts via both filename versions of an application (I tried on wksss.exe) are now blocked from outbound connection by the same rule.

@mag:

Actually, this hasn't been fixed yet -- could you please tell me how did you test it?
Did you execute wksss.exe with short path? [e.g. did you type "c:\progra~1\wksss.exe" in cmd.exe?]

I think the outcome depends fully on the application which is used for wksss.exe execution.

Will this be fixed in 5.1?
Thanks
