** INTRODUCING: New Official Avast Program Update 6.0.1091 **

[NON]

Hi
Dear VLK
i was test my avast Free antivirus 6.0.1091 in the following link.
avast detect virus in 4 first test that use http protocol but in https protocol avast just detect first one.
in other test if i use internet download manager avast can't detect any of them and don't alert me.
at last after download if i test whit On-Demand avast detect all of them.
is it normal?

Best Regard Amir

With your browser, this is because webshield cannot scan https connection.
The only detection avast made with https protocol is by File System Shield, not by Web Shield.
So, this is normal behavior, don't worry about it.

With IDM, yes you have to do as Dieselman says.
But at least avast should detect eicar.com with File System Shield, no matter what protocol you use.

Hey the new update is really great! works perfect except for ONE thing...

The Webrep dosent work on Google Chrome dev or canary...

I use both of those and was wandering if they could be fixed.

Yes. You can install the WebRep plugin manually (to any Chrome build) by using the file

C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\WebRep\Chrome\AswWebRepChrome.crx

ah sorry for confusion
- i mean invoked quickscan via commandline and command prompt
(standalone window not inside the main UI)

Now I'm even more confused
What command line?

While I am fully aware that I can download this latest program update manually via the application GUI, I was wondering when Auto Update would catch this new version and automatically download/install it?  I imagine there are quite a few novices out there who are probably not even aware there is a new version available, and while it would probably be in their best interests to get this update, the average home computer user will probably never even know it exists?  

Thanks,       -kd5-

Well to start with, it shouldn't download and install automatically unless you have changed the settings, Program updates are set to ASK when an update is available.

Now we get to the nitty gritty bit, there is an update cycle to spread the load on the hundreds of update servers; all the millions of active users couldn't all update at the same time. It could take a few days to cover all of those, which is where regular forum members are at an advantage. They find out about the update early and can do a manual update rather than wait for their turn in the cycle.

Hi all,

I have just installed 1091 and working fine.
However I could not update the program from the GUI so did uninstall and then did clean install of 1091.

happy avast user:)

Thanks, VLK. It's all clear now. (about the installer sizes)

Now I'm even more confused
What command line?

i guess i solved it for the 'right click on folder > scan with avast"
the window was somehow out of actual screen focus
now it's reset and back where it should be

about command prompt e.g.
i got in mind that asqhquick.exe is now just return result window if anything found,

i assume that's intended but is there any way how force it show progress if it does lot of scanning ?
e.g. when downloaded some huge archive via download manager, then auto-scanning it with ashquick - to be aware if it still being processed

what i ask for is e.g. /v or -v like verbose to show progress bar with details on the scan
it could be even indication on the avast icon, another icon or just the

Minor mistake:
WebRep is translated to "Webhelyminősítő". It is correct. BUT the problem is that there isn't enough space for that:
