INTRODUCING: New avast program update 5.1.864

[Silk0]

So... installed new avast! version, 12 hours ago and it's everything OK.
Working smoothly with all shields ON and working and everything fully operational (as far i can see).

Good work.

EDIT: I can confirm that I got the same little bug as described above. (Portuguese (Portugal) version)

unfortunately since beta 862 build 
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=68494.msg576212#msg576212

i'm still missing "Scan with Avast! in Windows Explorer menu"
this applies for files and folder

installing new version via setup_av_free.exe not helped
is there any simple solution how re-enable this feature?

Dwarden, what do you see in

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\avast    and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{472083B0-C522-11CF-8763-00608CC02F24}\InProcServer32

?

Thanks
Vlk

I have found a little bug in the german GUI: the marked tab is too small (see atachement)...
Its on all setting-tabs.

I confirm this..!
Nevertheless, if you click on it, it displays ok.

Had a bad update. Filesystem shield was not showing any statistics and the update area showed that installed version was 5.1.677 and after I rebooted the system, it showed 5.1.864 is available. So, installed from scratch and everything is fine until now.

Updated through the GUI - no problems at all.

Thanks again to the avast! team and all the beta testers and Happy New Year to all.

Updated to AIS 5.1.864 on my main box, see sig and so far so good. I also updated Avast 5 Free on a friends XP pro 32 bit laptop and it also is running fine. I did make backup images of both PC's before hand just in case. I have two more Win 7 64 bit PC's running AIS to update when I have more time. I would like to thank the Avast team and all the beta testers for their hard work. You guys rock! Have a beer on me.

updated via GUI, restart the machine, and tada.. working well. i noticed the start up went faster, the yellow exclamation disappear fast. the right click bug in tool bar also disappear too.

in my task manager, avastsvc.exe used less memory than the previous version. but in this version, clicking the tab in GUI feels a little bit lag.


Thanks to all the avast! team and all the beta testers.

Updated free version on my XP machine through the GUI. So far so good. Now I have to do the Vista one.

Quick scan took 5:32 for 7.0 GB of data. I think that's about the same as before.

In this case, I'd suggest reinstalling avast now.

Just uninstall it, reboot, and download it again and install.
Hopefully, it will help.
