Avast 7 Final Released

[NON]

i cant find avast5.ini and i also try to search *.ini but no avast5

Windows Vista/7 : C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\avast\
Windows XP/2000 : C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AVAST Software\avast\

"AVAST Software" could be "Alwil Software"

Is there a file that stores all the Avast Settings and Custom Scans? I want to back up that file.

A clean install means I need to redo all the settings (so if I can backup the custom scan files somewhere, that'd be nice).

Also, Avast was set to auto update program to Avast 7 (it downloaded it already). I don't want to install Avast 7 yet, how can I prevent it from installing the update once I restart (or can I stop it before it starts installing once I restart)?

I had far too many problems with an Upgrade from version 6 to 7 on XP SP3. The software rendered the computer unusable. I could not even get the Auto Sandbox set to Ask as it kept reverting back to Auto! I could not even get the software uninstalled in normal mode with out the computer locking up. Had to reboot into safe mode without problems. The unstall screens are not designed for safe mode resolutions as the buttons in the lower right corner of the screen are almost impossible to see. I finally got the software uninstalled and went to another anti-virus solution. Sorry Avast.

Not in version 6, but it was introduced in V7...

Where I can send some exe so you can check?

thx

You're welcome.

I have send simple exe, but after few run/close, that exe is not problem any more (it opens normally.
Then I have run another exe, our small Crm software. This program is 50% unsafe, and 50% is OK.
Why is that?
Then I have send setup and image showing sandbox.
Then I run it few times without problems, and after that again...
I have compiled new exe, same. Few time is OK, then not.

I make my living from such shareware, and I must say that I have used (in the past) some virtualization software, spend time & money and lost many customers regarding false positive alarms.
Now I'm not using such software, but such things make me lot of trouble.
It will be fast reviewed by Avast team, is that right?

What would generally reduce the possibility of treating exe files as virus?

How long it takes that someone give me some answer, please?
As I said, I'm in panic because Avast treat my software as unsafe.
Please respond, or tell me what I need to do.
Thank you.

I understand, but it can make serious problem to me, if someone somewhere put some text about my software and unsafe files...
I have no idea how to explain people that Avast made some "improvements" and because that my software is treated as virus

And I understand you.
Best I can suggest is to open a new topic for your problem, as it could easily get burried here.

issue affects many users of the free version, that will be fixed. In the meantime modify a line in avast5.ini:

Code: [Select]

ShowSetupOutro 0
