I think AIS uses a version of Chrome as the Safe Zone browser.

"Do not use Chrome as avast! default browser" (Settings/Troubleshooting).
Could just somebody tell me what it stands for ??? ??? ???
Hmmm... Should it be there? It was not released to the translators and it's not translated... Seems it slipped out...

i have serious question about the changelog related to freezes and BSOD crashes encoutered with all previous builds of Avast 6
(see forums around there is N threads nearly on daily basis)

i see not a single mention of stability or BSOD fixes in changelog

are they in or we still waiting ?

Hi DavidR,

Must admit I had forgotten about that, but I didn't notice any difference when submitting a possible FP earlier today.

me neither, therefore I think it is maybe related to "under-the-hood" changes.
Feel welcome to also visit the German Avast Community Forums for support and discussions with other security specialists as well as beginners!

Should it be in Avast FREE? As I understand this option is necessary only in paid versions with SafeZone.

This option isn't intended for SafeZone -- but if you installed Chrome with avast (and this option isn't checked), then webpages opened by avast will not be opened by your default web browser but in Chrome instead.

Does anyone else get a UI hang of Avast if they goto Firewall settings/Expert settings and click on Friends?
I can confirm that.

confirming complete AvastUI freezing and crash happening when clicking on the "friends" tab in firewall advanced settings

Yes, I can confirm that too.

Please, inform Trevor that this (and any other) string must be released to translators.

Thanks PK for the explanation.

But in that case this feature despite the translation should be greyed out when Chrome is not installed. ::) ???

Anyone else having the problem, that the computers with Avast installed are not reachable via Windows file share (normal share and administrative share). I noticed it on two XP machines, where I installed it. I also tried the final on one machine with the same result.
