I’ve update the AIS via GUI and everything is running smooth as a baby bum :wink:

Thanks for the update Avast :wink:

Hi,

it was much nicer, when there was a final release with a different version number as in the past years (even if nothing has changed from RC to RTM). Maybe this should be considered again for future releases.

German users might be interested in the Avast 2015 R3 German Release Notes translation.

5

So nothing new for us Beta testers today :cry:

Greetz, Red.

6

Updated on my win 8.1 with no problems. :slight_smile:

7

Nope. ;D

8

I am sorry Rednose. No new bugs released today. Don’t worry, new beta release will be here soon and lots of new issues :wink:

9

Yes I know : R4 Beta with the new SafeZone :wink:

Greetz, Red.

P.S. I think I am going to email Petr Kurtin, to see if I can get an Alpha of it.

10

I read where the rest of the versions such as Pro went final today. I thought that AIS would as well. Guess not.

11

Or Avast 2016 Beta :slight_smile: Who knows?

Avast team knows that for sure

PS: I dont think Petr Kurtin will give you an alpha

I couldn’t agree more an RC build number shouldn’t suddenly become the the Release version number - even if there have been no changes (in what was a short R3 RC2) the build number should have an incremental increase (even if artificial) as I feel it avoids confusion.

For those involved in the Beta testing, including RC builds still have 2015 BETA emblazoned on the UI.

If there are many new/updates things due soon why the rush to avast 2015 R3 ???

13

Thanks for the release.I just updated via gui of Avast! free it is more smooth,But Avast! should give brief description of the Host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS).Have a good day :smiley:

14

@Be Secure: An Avast team member wanted to give more information on it, but nothing yet.

@hectic-mmv: Whats going on? :smiley:

15

“Over the top” custom installation. Everything looks good except I lost all restore points, AGAIN !

I agree.

16

It is impossible to do anything without more information on HIPS.And same question Whats going on? ???

17

Why there is additional unsecapp.exe process ?
I know that one unsecapp.exe process is related to AdFender.

18

Question can anybody confirm that SafeZone working properly in the latest R3 or do we have to wait until R4 :o ??? ???

19

Is it not working for you??

20

Its working for me on Windows 10 Build 10166, but Universal apps launch OUTSIDE of the SafeZone.
