Any plans to make avast 8 work with vista 64?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

There are enough posts about the freeze issue already so instead I would like to ask a couple of fairly straight forward questions in the hope that someone from avast can answer them.

Are the avast team actually doing anything to make avast 8 compatible with vista 64bit?

Have they even acknowledged that this problem exists?

I shouldn’t have to change values in my registry in order to make a product I paid for work and the complete lack of feedback from avast after happily taking my money is insulting.

Don’t get your hopes up.
I do not think Avast will make any statements on this “user-forum”.

Unfortunately Support is not that willing to aid me with certain concerns I have/had.
My issue is now well over 2 weeks going and I am still non the wiser.

Perhaps we are better of not getting the full versions and just sticking with the free versions??

Still waiting.

My ticket was started on the 6th of march 2013.

Up till today I have had 1 reply which is basically the same as forum members were typing down in what one should try.
Today 27th of March 2013 I till have to get a serious reply from Avast! official support.

I suggest you stay away from Avast for fast answers.
I will assume they forgot to feed the hamster.

In order to fix the issue, you need to disable the aswVmm driver as described e.g. here:

It is preferable to make this change from Safe mode.
