avast! 5

When will avast! 5 be released. I know how no one likes to commit to anything, but just to give me an idea. By the end of the year? Q1 next year? Q2? Q3? Q4? 2009? …later?

Wow!!! We got a schedule… now let’s refine it ;D

Three months to go then ;D ;D the countdown begins ;D ;D

Which is exactly why avast doesn’t like to give deadlines.

David remember that Vlk didn’t say which month of 2008.
The wait could still be a lot longer and still fall within the expected release date.

Can you not remember a similar thread where some new feature or update was mentioned, everyone was like the kids in the car ‘are we there yet’ so I thought I would get mine in first ;D

I even have a little mascot to present to Alwil
avast! can feed it’s viruses to this little critter.

If we all assume that the release date is December 31 2008 then we will all be pleasantly surprised.

So you’re asking for more features for a lower price :
That’s a very bold request specially when you compare with the license of other AV’s + the price just to buy the cd.

I’m hoping it will be 01/01/2008, which means we will be beta testing version 5 November/December time ;D ;D

See what Vlk started with a hint of a schedule and why Alwil don’t publish schedules ;D

system · 2007-09-30T14:19:51.000Z

Wow ! Good news here are !
Any additional comments and info from Alwil software ?
Ready to update my Japanese web ! ;D ;D ;D

DavidR · 2007-09-30T14:32:58.000Z

No, only Vlk’s comment, 208, that is why we are baiting in the forlorn hope that we might get a slightly more detailed guestimate on a release date.

system · 2007-09-30T18:04:02.000Z

2008 sounds great at least we know it’s sometime in the near future, can’t wait
