according to our logs, the new version has been downloaded by almost 1 million users but still there’s no complaints (or even comments) about it at all.
Is it really working that good? - Usually, there’s at least a couple of people who have some problems…
Well, it’s a lie. Well, the lie is that it is a feature of v4.7.1029. Instead, it is a feature of the latest couple of VPS updates (0760, 0761). There were some important improvements in the script scanning engine, elf (linux executable) scanning engine and a couple of other important changes.
We decided to put it to the program revision history because it was released roughly at the same time as the 1029 build (even though it should work OK even in the previous versions of avast).
So… hopefully, you’ll have a chance to see improved performance of the engine.
Vlk, you obviously didn’t manage to fix the Outlook ‘Message Display Problem’ that we uncovered. Just wanted to make sure that was the case and that presumably a fix is scheduled for the next release…??
Yes I already was confused because I always assumed scanner updates were preformed with the VPS updates. Wouldn’t call it a lie, since the improvements are actually made. After all the huge database additions and now also engine updates I’m really looking forward to see how avast preforms
avast! 4 Home - Arabic version (length %setupara_exe_len%)
Yeah, I know. This need to be fixed by our webmaster (who’s not online during weekends :))

No we haven’t managed to fix this, as I said, it will need some deeper changes (maybe Igor, when he comes back from the beach, will look into it).
BTW it’s not really an Outlook provider issue (at all). Basically, it happens every time there’s a disabled check box or radio button in a skinned dialog (together with the XP Silver theme). See e.g. the avast settings dialog, it happens there too (e.g. the Report file page).

Am I missing a trick here? If I have a long path in ‘Exclusions’, there seems to be no way of seeing that path in full after it’s been added…also, is it the same in the Pro version?
Exclusion Question: I’m excluding areas of the hard disk where I keep large files that I don’t want to scan: Like DVD files I’ve produced, ISO images that I’ve produced and so on. I also have approx 6500 .jpg images that I was going to exclude - is this wise in your (anyone’s) view? I understood .jpg’s to be infectable file types these days…
