** ANOTHER PRE-RELEASE BUILD NOW AVAILABLE [6.0.1044] - IS THIS THE LAST ONE? **

Lisandro · 2011-04-01T19:20:03.000Z

The best thing that will happen is a new release (beta or stable) and closing this bloatware thread impossible to follow…

Is it me or has Avast removed the ‘wishlist’ thread ???

DavidR · 2011-04-01T22:08:19.000Z

It’s been gone a while, many of us had been asking for it to be closed with almost 100 pages it was a monster and open a new one effective from Avast 6.0. They didn’t close it, they deleted it.

There are plans for a replacement function but that hasn’t been notified to avast users yet.

Hello,
try current VPS 110401-2. It maybe fixes the slow scan of PDF files during boot time scan.

This was from this thread: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=75020.0

I just did a boot scan and it as back to 1:38:00 again. What it was before.

Thanks!

Yeah, and why don’t you complain to the game vendor that requires a rootkit to be installed for you to run the game you have paid for? :

Hmm weird, I have AIS 6.0.1000 final on a relatives PC(no beta’s were installed before.) The computer was on so I thought let’s see if .1044 is already released and I checked for program updates within Avast GUI. It found an update and it seems it really updated(you see all the modules named when the completion bar progresses) and then it asked for reboot, so I rebooted, checked program version, which was still .1000 and checked for program updates and it said .1000 is latest. So it’s really weird, the version was already current and somehow it found some update which doesn’t exist, it updated and is still current :S

the updates that it is finding are the virus definitions. they have nothing to do with the actual program update.

Just updated over previous version… Now it’s running smoothly as it always…

Is it normal for it to ask for a reboot when it just updates the defs? I don’t think mine did last time I did a manual update, and it doesn’t on the automatic.

Not entirely true, as they can also update the AV engine with a VPS update. Also as far as we know an upcoming update of the boot-time scan ( adding an emulator ) will be done by a VPS update

No, nothing to worry about

Btw as Vlk seems to be flying somewere above the ocean, I don´t think we have to expect a new build today

Greetz, Red.

Rednose · 2011-04-03T17:57:01.000Z

I have news for Chrome users

WebRep for Chrome will most likely be available in the next build 8)

Oh no, so we can expect even more WR related questions. :-
Nevertheless, thanks for the info, Red.

Lisandro · 2011-04-03T18:15:16.000Z

Red… seems you get news before anyone! Thanks.
Any other news about the next versions?

Rednose · 2011-04-03T18:31:00.000Z

No, not really.

There are a few things that have to be added/fixed for the next build

Greetz, Red.

system · 2011-04-03T18:32:07.000Z

care to explain please?

yeah, an Avast animation in the browser title bar showing dying worms 8)

ps: might be only available for IE in the beginning

Rednose · 2011-04-03T18:43:44.000Z

Lol Logos ;D

To brenda556, welcome to the forum

I don’t have all the info, but one of the issues is a BSOD related to the firewall that has to be fixed.

Greetz, Red.

system · 2011-04-04T04:04:39.000Z

im guessing the next build will still be a beta since they are adding chrome to the webrep and there are other fixes and they need to test and make sure they are fixed plus there are no major bugs with webrep and chrome?

Does this mean that Vlk has to “land” in order for a Program Update to take place?
