** HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH V5.1.864? Try a new pre-release build 5.1.874 **

[seby]

ok.
After two reboot of the system avast seems work fine, and my protection note is ok.
It only remains to explain the disastrous freezing of the system at first boot.
 Thanks.

None of the shields show any activity from the time I have installed 5.1.864.
Is it worth to try .874 or should I wait for new version?

Hi,

I have tested this 5.1.874, but it did not help with my problem (see post http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=68959.msg580053#msg580053).
Only good news for me with this beta - no avast crash anymore.

I'm not sure what the reason is, but I also have had to do a dual reboot on a few of the occassions when installing a newer version. 5.1.874 was one of the times.
However, after the second reboot everything falls into place and Avast functions perfectly. I'm sure the team is aware of this and most certainly is on top of it.

I agree with Asyn. Please try 5.1.874, it's worth it. I found it to be very stable and all components to be up and running. No problems after re-boot, all software actually seemed to load quicker than before. I think at the top it says 5.0.874 (it's really 5.1.874).

So I did: downloaded 874, and without uninstalling 864, pounded the new on top.
Everything works, including(!) the shields.
Thanks for the tip - and for the software.

Is it all right to leave it uninstalled for now, at least until the next version of Avast is available?

Yes.

Okay, thanks. I was a little nervous about leaving a shield uninstalled for too long. ):

I am having a problem with both the 5.1.864 and the current 5.1.874.

In 5.1.874 while the long delays before the Programs menu and QuickLaunch becomes available to use has been fixed a Network issue still exists.

I have a home network and my email program resides on the other machine at the front of the house.  I access this email program (PmMail 2000, ok I know it is old) across the gigabit network from the second computer.  Both computers are running Windows 7 x86 Ultimate.

When I click on the Email icon for PmMail, the system freezes, only the mouse is able to move, nothing can be run, not even Task Manager, nor Sysinternals Process Explorer.. NOTHING.

I have to hold the power button for 4 seconds until the computer shuts off completely.

On reading some of the preceding messages in this forum, I tried removing the Behaviour component of Avast Free 5.1.874.  Now I can access the email program again.

As far as I know, this is the only issue remaining on this 5.1.874 release, at least on my systems and so far.

HTH,

even with this new release i'm having the "unsecure" problem with free version.
i reported this issue here  http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=68783.0
maybe is an incompatibility with sandboxie or zemana antilogger.

I hope this gets updated to regular release soon!

不好意思，英文水平不怎么好，所以用中文来提点建议：
我觉得avast!应该把这个界面好好美化一下，至少应该弄成和WINDOWS7一样的毛玻璃效果和透明的效果，这样看上去更舒服，也让人认为和系统是融合为一体了，虽然这在实质上没有多大变化，但会给使用者带来视觉上的享受，一个好的产品是很注重各方面细节的，我相信你们开发团队也是个敬业的团队。希望你们的产品越来越强劲！另外，在内核上，感觉除了加强已有的、令人赞不绝口的网页防护外，提高一下启发水平和强化那个目前还是有些弱势的行为防护，这就够了!
Happy New Year! Everybody

Happy New Year, cherry845   

Translation of above post:

Embarrassed, English proficiency not how good, therefore makes a suggestion with Chinese: I think avast! Should beautify well this contact surface, should make into at least with the WINDOWS7 same ground-glass effect and the transparent effect, like this seems more comfortable, also lets the human think that has bed in one friendly with the system, although this materially was not having the sweeping change, but will bring in visual to the user enjoyment, a good product was pays great attention various aspects detail very much, I believed that you developed the team are also a professional team. Hoped that your product is getting stronger and stronger! Moreover, in the essence, felt that besides strengthens existing, makes the homepage protection which one is full of praise, enhances inspires the level and strengthens that at present some weak trend behavior protection, this sufficed!
