Hi everybody.new version avast on today(4.5.561)
anybody knows what’s new?
Practically nothing. Only that it works with the registration keys generated in year 2005 (unlike the previous versions).
The update is only 80K and doesn’t require a reboot.
Vlk, how come I didn’t get program update notification this time ? I had to invoke Program update manually. Both updating options under avast! update (Basic) Settings are checked as always. ???
Cheers !

Same here, but i think they said that they increased the time avast checks for updates to about a week to decrease the load on the servers, i could be wrong though.

Yes, this is strange. Avast updated the database only a few minutes ago but the program version remains 549.
I will let is stay to see if it searches for the update.
I believe that Leea is correct. Avast was considering lengthening the time Avast checks for updates but I do not know if it actually was incorporated into the 549.
Hopefully VLK will advise.
The same here. It still shows 4.5.549
Happily using 4.5.561 here 
Thanks Vlk… I only noticed after I read that we have a program update… No reboot required…
Vlk, any plans to fix the skinless GUI issue mintioned here
Skinless avast not for 640x480 resolution
strange at both Pro and Home version it requesting reboot …
It didn’t ask to reboot here, and how come there was nothing about this update in the announcements board?
Yeah, you’re right…
It’s difficult to obtain the coerence here…
We have an update but it was not annouced in that board 
Well done…
It didn’t reboot on my XP pro but it didn’t update the rev number from 549 either. I had to stop Avast from the On Access Control panel & restart it to get the correct rev number in “About”. Not a major drama, just not clean.
BTW…Vlk, the dup “Clean” message problem has disappeared for the moment. It was coming & going all the time. Maybe another Y2K5 prob!! ???
Well, it does not ask for a reboot but to change the version number you will need to do it manually or, what is the most common thing, see it on next reboot.
About the clean notes into the message body, can you try ‘Settings’ on my signature?
UseAlternateRtfSyncing value under [MailScanner] section.
See screenshot of settings here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=9514
Is it correct to say THIS FIX is in 4.5.561?
No. Basically no fix is in 561. The fix is only related to certain serial keys that none of you are using… (Y2K5 keys).
We don’t consider 561 a “real” update - it really didn’t fix anything other than this nasty Y2K5 bug…
Thanks for the info.
