no notification here for a new build, + update checking is frozen anyway ;D … downloading AIS now to check what version it is now… done, it’s still 1407 ???
This bug was in beta too. But it is in “stable” version too… You have just to try to update program or engine definitions update in avast interface. That’s all…
Had to start virus protection manually as windows told me system is not protected and auto update did not work. Had to restore and reupdate and things seem to be OK now but disappointed in version 7 update. Can add that the connection to net did not take effect but this was corrected when I reinstalled.
Well guys I do not know what to say. I had an update this morning ( 120227-0 ), mid morning to you, when reinstalling 7.0.1407 to check if v. 7 still got problems with FSS after Igor reported it fixed, and I got the new program available in the UI. I tried to download it and couldn’t. I then read Vlk thread.
what bothers me really is the implications now of a corrupted file uploaded to their servers, now present in our systems, and breaking the ability of Avast to update on affected computers … what a mess … now we’re waiting for a “special” program to fix that :-\ … this said I can be as patient as necessary, everything else works fine, and I was still able to get 27-0. earlier today.
Not wanting to be bullish or stupid…I still find it abnormal to have to reinstall Win7 64bits from scratch or put the image or go through Recovery. My signature is outdated has I only have a FW and MBAM and Avira which finally runs stable and fine on my PC without having to undergo all this mess. I’m not saying go to Avira, I’m only saying to Vlk and others to learn from their errors! ???
N.B.:Avira as Avast has become bloated in order to increase their malware fight strength that’s why you have to get rid of registry and drivers remnant in order for them to work properly. That’s why I don’t like this thread to make people mess up their registry
