As avast 7 has only just been released you've got quite a while to wait  ::)

This isn't Chrome or Firefox and a new 'major' program release doesn't happen every other month.

There is no date for avast8, there wasn't a date for avast7 until two days before it was released, so you gots to be disappointed.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Avast 8 will come out about the same time Windows 9 does. They seem to always be a number behind.  ;)

Seriously, who knows? They have to iron out the kinks in 7 still that some people are experiencing. Not me but some others.

Wut?  I thought 9 was out next month?  ???  :P


Seriously though,  roughest of estimates is.....around a year.   Just a guess.   Unless they were to change the pace of the numbering.
