** INTRODUCING: NEW BETA VERSION OF AVAST - NOW 6.0.1198 **

I believe there might be a bit of a misunderstanding here
This feature has nothing to do with your online financial transactions or your bank account, so there's no point in "looking over your shoulder" anyway.

Actually, I thought that's what MartinZ explained.

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

I can confirm that.

I suggest you remove your email from a publicly available forum unless you particularly like spam.

Not really the place to ask as your question us unrelated to this topic (hijacking), so you should create your own new topic, open this link http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0 and click the New Topic button at the top of the page and we will try to help you there.

Hi Pete
Would these fixes include BSODs that occured even when BSh not installed and AutoSandbox disabled?

Hi,

- improved the sample submission process

what exactly has been changed here? I tried a short test with EICAR, but didn't notice any changes? Is there some technical sending improvement? Anything under the hood?

Furthermore I would like to ask how far the progress with the Windows 8 optimization has proceeded (from the last Redmond meetings)? Will there be an update to avast! 6 or only avast! 7?

Btw. we added the pk's detailed changes to the German translation of the release notes for any German user interested.

[DavidR]

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

+1 for the UI hang after clicking on the Friends button in Firewall settings.

[George Yves]

One new option isn't translated in the Russian version (see the attached screenshot).

The phrase "Do not use Chrome as аvast! default browser" should be translated as "Не использовать Chrome как браузер по умолчанию в аvast!".

BTW, what is this option for?

[jrace]

What a surprise!
I just came back from a few days off in the middle of nowhere, and there was this new prerelease from avast!

I downloaded and updated the last official and it's running smooth as expected. Seems to be a great step forward for all who had their trouble with the last releases. At least in all the posts I did not read about any real difficulties.

But anyway I would also like to get an idea about that new selectable feature: "Do not use Chrome as avast! default browser" (Settings/Troubleshooting).
Could just somebody tell me what it stands for
