Avast 7 Final Released

[PamJ]

I always wait a while after a new version of anything comes out, to see what problems folks are having and to let the bugs get worked out. I love avast, but from what I've read here I'm glad I waited...and will continue to wait before updating to 7. Since I've read at least one other post where someone said they were going back to 6, I'm assuming the virus definitions and such are still updated if you stick with an older program version for a while?

Yes, v6 and v7 use the same VPS updates. (Also v5, btw...)

Avast 6 updated to Avast 7. It looks to be installed, but did not work properly: The AV was off, the "Fix now" button didn't work, neither did the real-time protection.

I did a clean unistall using AVAST utility in safe mode.

I then tried to reinstall Avast 7. Error message. Here is the installation log: http://pastebin.com/G1YQsz63

Clean uninstall again using AVAST utility in safe mode.

I then tried to reinstall Avasty 6. Error message!!!! Here is the installation log: http://pastebin.com/B3C4aZ9t

This version 7 really screwed up my computer. Not only can't I install version 7, but I can't even go back to version 6!!!!

Here are the errors in both instances:

1) Installing Avast 7

25.02.201219:08:43file:Error direct moving file: C:\Windows\avastSS.scr
25.02.201219:08:43file:filRenameOnReboot:!bSuccess

2) Installing Avast 6

27.02.2012 01:36:31 file: Error direct moving file: C:\Windows\avastSS.scr
27.02.2012 01:36:31 file: filRenameOnReboot:!bSuccess

27.02.2012 01:36:33 file: ERROR:Install file:C:\Windows\avastSS.scr, code:0x00000020

In both instances, avastSS.scr is the culprit.

Hello!
I need help. I did a reinstalling of AIS 7 but I can not insert the license. A window informed me: Unable to insert the license file. Error 0x080046400. Another window: the instruction at 0x776b8dc9 referenced memory at 0x00000014. The memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate the program. I uninstalled AIS 7 upgraded from beta. I did the uninstalling using avast uninstall tool in safe mode. I installed AIS 7 but I could not install license file. I tried three times but the same result, the same errors. I have WHP7 64 bit 4GB ram, P 8700, hp pavilion dv7-2022tx. Only the firewall is working and the green tick that my notebook is secured
Thanks

Installation went ok for me. What I didn't know, wasn't warned about, or gave consent to, was the installation of other software at the same time. I DON'T want Googlechrome installing, and I don't want unknown extensions added to my Firefox browser either. If I want software, I go find it and install it myself.

As a result of v7 now behaving like malware, I am now removing it -just a few minutes after it finished 'updating'. I'm hgoing back to v6 as a temporary measure, but will remove that in favout of other software ASAP because AVAST obviously cannot be trusted and support for v6 will end eventually anyway.

What other things are going on in the background that avast hasnt warned users about? personal info being sent somewhere perhaps?

shame on you avast.

Please return the behavior of the auto-sandbox back to how it worked in v6. The new iteration is a nightmare.
