Avast 7 Final Released

[nihilista]

OK,
solved the problem with installer, simply deactivated self-protection, deleted "/setup" folder, installed. Everything works, but now registration sucks...maybe servers overloaded by too many people loading new version? Or another new bug?
And the settings backup and restore function doesnt work, same error as RC.

Salu2 yo tengo la version beta , desde q salio y no hay forma q actualice , llevo todo el dia intentadolo, q debo hacer ???y si tuviese q volver a instalar hay forma de guardar la configuracion actual q tengo puesta , de ser posible  , me pueden decir como se hace paso a paso , gracias anticipadas.

una ultima duda  porque en las descargas de "softonic"sale como si fuera virus? solo lo hace el avast, ? en cambio desde softonic si vas a la pagina del fabricante te deja descargarlo sin problema , parece q el problema fuera con el programa q enlaza la descarga ,alguien sabe algo,

ahora si gracias por vuestras respuestas

Necesitas volver a instalar todo de nuevo y si hay forma de guardar la configuración, vete a opciones/mantenimiento y alli viene la opción copia de seguridad de configuración, de clic y sigue los pasos y guardala en tus documentos para cuando la instales de allí la restaures.

No sabría decirte que sucede con softonic pero te sugiero que bajes mejor el archivo de aquí donde VLK lo puso al principio.

Clean installed and working well thankyou "avast" other than cannot register via the UI, it just hangs.

I updated from the RC through the GUI without a problem.  The same was true in going from beta3 to the RC.  All shields are up and functioning. Engage warp drive and full speed ahead.

This is what I have. Only "Connect"!

Hello and congrats to ver. 7!

I like the UI but have one MAJOR issue:

It seems that with this new version, Avast 7 is confirming emails to active and/or register the free version.

Unfortunately, because of this we can no longer install and promote Avast to our customers.

We are a large PC repair company and deal with end users whom have very limited PC experience.  For more than 5 years, ALL pc`s which came in were installed with Avast Free.  (Easily over 500 per year).  Our techs cannot take the time to enter, wait for, then confirm emails to simply install an anti-virus program.

Prior to ver. 7, Avast would accept any email address and register instantly.

It`s a sad day for us, but we will now have to go to AVG...

Any chance of going back to non-confirmed email registration?

Thanks for the years of protection Avast!

Reinstalled by using the updated aswClear Tool. Seems to work OK. Even this one seems to be fixed (if not I am coming back ): http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93268.0

Enjoy the new release and thanks for the work!

Btw...avast! 7 Final translated release notes, help and discussion for German users can be found here.

me to!

I now have to try updating the Vista machine which is still running v6. I'm going to do it through the GUI and I'll let you know how it goes.

[cadremis]

BTW, As I reported in the last Beta RC, I have never been able to use myavast account since I receive a msge. to confirm my registration via e-mail that they have sent to me, but eventhough I clic to resend, I never receive it.

What should I do?

1) Cannot update from previous beta using built-in updater.
2) Cannot even update from installer
3) So only way is clean install? 

[DavidR]

OK because of the issue with beta RC fatal error with avast.setup and inability to update. Did a clean install of avast 7.0.1407 free and rebooted, all appeared to be going well, imported my old settings.

Tried to register, but that just hangs, left for over 10 minutes and egg timer still present, so appears stalled, closed window in the end.

In the registration process questions on android miss one of the obvious answers, I have avast! Mobile Security installed, which kind of makes the slider redundant.

El problema con softonic está en su instalador que Avast lo interpreta como un PUP (Software potencialmente no deseado lo cual no es un virus). Eso significa que es un programa que, en las manos de personas no adecuadas, podrían ser un riesgo para la seguridad de tu equipo. No te indica que sea u Virus ni ningún tipo de malware. En otra ocasión te diría que desconfiases pero en esta no, y te digo con 100% de seguridad que puedes usarlo con toda tranquilidad ya que es 100% seguro.
