*** NEW PRE-RELEASE UPDATE 5.1.884 NOW AVAILABLE ***

[spg SCOTT]

This solves the only problem I had with 864/874:
"Minimised scan window --> Show scan results doesn't work"

And I only noticed this yesterday

Thanks,

I encountered a boot time scan issue last night with .874.  Got a disc full error and was unable to complete the scan.  When attempting to "ignore" the file, it just went into and endless loop of trying to send the file to the chest.  Ended up exiting out of the scan.

This was after a complete removal, including the uninstaller, and clean install.  I'll try the new beta tonight.

Runs great over here but tbh so did every other build starting from .863.

By the way, it's the Behavior Shield that is causing my game to crash. I installed the Behavior Shield on 5.1.874, and all is well. Let me test this with the Behavior Shield on.

i just saw in the updater on one of my machines the free version when i opened avast 5.1884 was available
I was on the beta pre release prior- 5.1874
Did the upgrade- asked for a reboot and so far all is fine

my other machine running the free vers1on 5.1864 (which btw i had no problems with it on this machine) doesn't have the upgrade yet.  

Do you roll it out in bunches?

Also how come in the past it used to popup telling me that there was an upgrade.  Now it doesn't- why?

How is a user to know it needs an update unless they open it up and see it?

Something should popup or the icon in the startup should turn color or something to show there is an upgrade

I'm still using 5.0.677 right now because I had problems with 5.1.864. Will I be able to directly update to 5.1.884 when it's available, or will I have to install the other two updates first, or should I just uninstall Avast! and clean install 5.1.884?

Update PRO version via GUI (on Xp Sp3), no problem detect.

i am lost.
Since i upgraded from .64 to .77 via the pre release you are telling me for future releases that go through the normal updater i will not be getting them?

now that i am at 5.1884 any future upgrades will only come if i download a pre release? and if I do not and just wait for the one that goes out to the general public I will not be able to get that one?
Please confirm
thanks

You can install .884 over the top or wait for the stable release which should be out within 24 hour's hopefully.

relax upgrading manually to this pre-release (and only if you really need it) won't prevent you to be automatically prompted to upgrade to the final release

Hi all.
I did upgrade avpro from 5.1.874/B at 5.1.884/B (with installation on the avpro 5.1.874/B).
All ok.
Test in progress.

[schmidthouse]

  Upgraded from .874 via GUI on both machines.
No worries, it's all good
