** INTRODUCING: NEW BETA VERSION OF AVAST - NOW 6.0.1279 **

[gogul808]

i can`t get it running because of registration error.
whenever i try to register it a box comes up saying " the system cannot find the specified file " it is cleared through my firewall so i don`t know why its not doing anything.

Well, I'd ask again - are you sure the update happened after you logged on?
The virus definitions may be updated even if nobody is logged on (yet) - in which case the popup is not shown (cause there's nobody to show it to at the moment).

Well, Igor, you're the specialist, I'd say my computer is turned off and when I put it on, only way to get an internet connection is after log on, but you are the specialist. Anyway, this is a minor problem. It's true that if I leave my pc open, I have normal updates pop-up happenning.

Today, Avast must have updated at the end of the booting process (3 minutes) because I finally got an update pop-up notification. But some programs like SAS was not in the tray and the icon for system sound was saying it was not functionning although I had sound. After reboot all normal. I've got an HP pc and sometimes it runs an HP program in the background...
EDIT sat 03 Sept 11. For a second day in a row, all seems back to normal with my updates pop-up notifications, seems the problem is solved!

Script Shield with FireFox 6.0.1 does not work on Windows 7 64x

Yes it does . . . . .

Script Shield with FireFox 6.0.1 does not work on Windows 7 64x

it does here, in these very same conditions (FF 6.0.1 on W7/64)

But some programs like SAS was not in the tray....After reboot all normal.

I had the same situation on both of my x64s but not on my x32.

I am using a start-up optimize program that delays the start of the some programs if I choose.  I am guessing the reason that SAS did not show up on the first reboot had to do with a loading conflict between SAS and the completion of the avast! update.

I just a ran a couple of java exploits with only the script shield enabled.  Avast Pro detected and blocked one of them.  This was done in Windows 7 64 with Firefox 7 Beta.

This has really nothing to do with this new beta release, it is a virus and worms forum issue and is where it should be, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=4.0 as a New Topic.

I'm not even sure if it should be there either unless you consider it a bad detection. If so then that is where it should be and blanking out part of the information in the alert window doesn't help us to help you.

At the time I ran in it VM Ware.  I did not realize the beta had already been completed.  This was only to should that the script shield is working properly in Windows 7 64 bit.

The activity of avast's script shield in Firefox 7 Beta 3 is a lot lower than Firefox 6 O.O""

[Chris Thomas]

Testing...so far no problems 

[REDACTED]

...running flawlessly @ my system...
great to have the script-shield enabled with FF6

I'm running this on Windows 7 Pro x64, and things are working - however, Windows reports "avast! Antivirus reports that it is turned off".

Is this normal with betas, or is avast! not reporting its status to Windows properly?

I even hit the "Turn on now" button, and nothing happened.

Try repair AVAST in the Uninstall program in Control Panel. If that don't work, uninstall in safemode, reboot then reinstall cleanly the product.
