YoKenny,

Isn't that the 1348 beta?

Same here, you have to download the new setup from the avast site and run it - it will update it to 1351

Oh, my updater told me nothing that there have been 4.8.1348. An hour ago I had 4.1335 and only after I have read that post I went to the download page and downloaded the new version 4.8.1351.

You don't have to remove the beta, I just downloaded the new setup file and ran it. It updated over the beta

[YoKenny]

I downloaded the full update then disabled the self-defense module then ran the downloaded update and all is well now and enabled the self-defense module.

Mine is the beta version and you have never had to install from square one whilst on a beta build, when you did a program update it just converted to the latest program version, be that beta or regular release.

So I don't know what is going on in this case, perhaps because it wasn't a notified regular beta release.
