Avast 7 Final Released

[Dwarden]

well doing clean reinstall is not happy discovery for me considering the export/import setting is not covering everything

wonder why it's so hard to make working updater which just slaps files over ... it's 2012 ffs

Hello.
First time having a problem with Avast!
Just updated via GUI from version 6 to 7. All went well but at time of starting after a restart: the icon below just started flashing and I can't start avast!.
So I decided to go for a fresh install: same problem.

My OS is W7 Ultimate (32bit) and as active resident protection, I have Online Armor (free).

:/

Hey guys! I just did a clean installation in my computer # 2 but I really can't register Avast 7... the computer hangs in that step...

Any comments?

Update from avast 6.0.1367 UI on my win7 32bit also went fine.

Windows 2000

Update from v6 should of course be also possible via the built-in program updater.

Hi Vlk,
doesn't work with Windows 2000! 

Updated over the UI from V. 6.0.1367 and then restart.

After that

1. there's no avast!-symbol in the taskbar

2. I can't open the programm over the desktop-icon.

(then I made an Acronis-Backup from my system with avast! FREE V. 6.0.1367)

Try the offline registration, it worked for me and took about half hour to recieve license email.

Before I go for this "final", I will backup my system first and read all of the threads.
See you later...

I'm looking forward for Script Shield and WebRep support for Opera. I've just switched to it and i think i'll stick with it. I kinda like it even though it's not fully supported by avast! 7.0 which is a shame but oh well.

Updated to from 6 to 7.0 on W7Pro-64bit today and starting an instance of Internet Explorer in Sandbox now causes a looping crash of IE ("IE has stopped working" - "close" or "Check online for a solution..." -> Close -> error repeats). Have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out of it. SO clearly Sandbox does not work as it used to.
FYI

You should also export your avast! settings, avastUI, Settings, Maintenance, Back up settings button..

I Installed avast 7 1407. I was playing a game APB reloaded and it kept crashing a bit since I installed it. One time the game crashed then 15 sec later I got a blue screen and when I rebooted the computer I kept getting a blue screen while the windows loading bar was going on. Once I remove avast with the uninstall tool the blue screen went away.

Congrats on version 7! I am liking it so far but I am having some issues with both the sandbox and autosandbox. If I configure Pidgin to open in a sandbox I lose the taskbar icon for Pidgin. If I have the Autosandbox configured to Auto, Keriver Image will not load or show and icon in the taskbar. These are not gamebreakers but they do cause me to remove Pidgin from sandboxing and to turn Autosandbox to ask.
