Is 6 still in Beta? 

No, 6.0.1000 is the latest final version. ;)

I'll give it a shot as soon as other things settle down then.  V5 have to be uninstalled first?

Oh yah, Is there a link anyware to the Complete Uninstaller for V6?  I have it for V5.

Thanks,
Bob

Um....  That one's (free one) much bigger than the one you get from cnet the website http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download sends you to.

Any known reason?

I downloaded from the CNet link first and was served the English only version.  The links I provided for the Avast installers are the universal installers and contain many different languages.  Note the difference in the file names.

Sometimes, even a blind squirrel finds a nut. ;D  And I'm happy to have aswclear6.exe, just in case I need it. 8)  May not need it, as Avast 6 is working fine so far.

I know this requires a new post but I'm short on time.  FYI: WebRep shows as 2 Plug-ins in IE8.  I uninstalled it.

Also: no rating for even Google.com yet.  I guess to be expected?

It appears that the WebRep server is down right now.  WebRep is even greyed out on this forum at the moment.  It was green with many votes earlier.

I'll play tomorow.  In IE8 as 2 plug-ins is kinda strange though.

After "Upgrading" to V6 with the V5 UI, Things got worse.  Every boot would result in the "!" in the tray.  But, all services were running,  I would always have to manually stop one, any one, and restart it, to get rid of the "!".

Since every thing in "Program Files" and "Application Data" still looked like avast5, I did a complete uninstall using aswclear5.exe in Safe Mode.  "Application Data\Allwill\Avast5" and all it's contents was still left, so I whacked it by hand.

I reinstalled Avast6 from scratch and re-registered.  Seems to be working much better, so far, after 4 or 5 reboots.  I now have a new "C:\Program Files\AVAST Software" directory, with "\Avast" in it.  There is also a new "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AVAST Software\Avast" with an Avast5.ini in it that's a bit strange.  Left over from V5?

WebRep still kinda works sometimes, and installs 2 IE plugins with the same name.  I have it uninstalled right no.  Maybe I'll try it again later.  So far it's just frustrating.

We'll see. :-)
