avast 4.5.546 is a Reality!

Hi all,

a new program update has just been released (official release, not a beta). It has a version number of 4.5.546 and hopefully fixes many of the 4.5 problems. It is based on the 4.5.536 beta. All beta users are transfered to this version automatically (just invoke program update).

I deeply believe that this build will be a successful one and will enable us to move forward.

Thanks!
Vlk

Note: Updated for 4.5.546…

Tried downloading the latest version from the main page but it still fetches me v4.5.523

6

Yes, for some reason it is not possible to update to last version without installing the beta first. Maybe this will be corrected quickly

7

Yes yes yes yes yes … ok best version so far :slight_smile: :wink: :smiley: ;D 8) :stuck_out_tongue:

No bug so far on so many machines that’s like magic … :slight_smile:

Ok, I hate to admit it, but there is a problem. When I first discovered Avast, I thought “what the heck, lets give it a try”. Easy said, easy done. Alwil made me an addict. Now with the latest release I got even more addicted. I already contacted my lawyers to see if I can make any money out of this ;D ;D ;D

Thanks guys. BTW The sfx’s (self extracting setup executables) have now been updated as well.

10

works great for me… but then it always has :slight_smile: Never have had a problem with it

11

I had no problem going from the 4.5.523 official build to the 4.5.542 build and I never installed the beta builds.

Did you do a manual program update?

Have you rebooted since the attempted update?

12

maybe will be nice to put this major version into Avast iNews , it really deserve to be mentioned and updated (liked that feature :slight_smile:

13

Thanks Vlk
It even fixed the System Restore problem. ;D

14

Same here – went smoothly just like previous version upgrades (seemed a little bigger this time, though), and I’ve never played with the beta either.

15

Mine too…
Not an email problem untill now… fingers crossed ;D

16

Well, can’t say that in general. My wife’s PC still has exactly the same issue… are we gonna forget about that problem now, just because everybody is happy except one users… one = no one ? Well, I’m not sure about that…

But it would be great if we see that someone is still trying to find a fix for that problem on every and each computer…

Sasha, we won’t give up ;D

What I did:

  1. Update to 4.5.542
  2. Boot
  3. Open System Restore
  4. Click on ‘ok’ and not on ‘apply’

it worked for me… Did you do anything different?

18

Thanks Technical for your interest, you’re the man… listen, I’ll post some strange results now in that thread where we started everything… oK ? That way we will avoid any further possible confusion… Please check this thread in about few minutes… I’ll post there…
