It should be possible to install this version on top of your existing avast! installation (all settings should be preserved).
Or you can use the in-product updater.

Sorry for troubles, thank you for your patience and we hope that you will enjoy AVAST 8 without any problems now!

thanks,
Pavel

Finally, thank you. Hope all the hard work was successful.

Imagine it will take a little while for servers to get up to task as I attempted through GUI but simply stayed at 1483.
No worries

Damn! Tried to update via GUI but kept getting Error on reboot. Eventually had to use Safe Mode, Uninstall Avast and am now going to attempt installing from Set-up File.
Updating through the GUI should not cause this kind of result. If I were not computer literate, I’d be screwed! Just not acceptable. :-[
See how it goes with Clean install :

Edit: I should mention this was on my Win8 OS

[system]

Well the issue with FF 20.0.1 and webrep is still there, webrep doesn’t remind the position after I restart the FF :-[ Why this behavior? Can anyone explain me?

[schmidthouse]

OK, Install (after removal 1483 in Safemode) via the downloaded Set-up File went fine (OnWin8).
Still, I can only imagine what kind of reaction this failed process would cause from someone without Computer/software experience. 8)

Well I install it manually over the current 1483, no issue so far, except the FF webrep plugin :-\

I am referring to the failed update via the GUI (built-in) software update feature, not an update overtop.

I just updated Avast Free from version 8.0.1483 to version 8.0.1.1488 via the GUI. All went well and my Windows 7 system (X86) is running properly.

Confirmed on my machine, but after all the reporting of that bug I believe nobody is really interested to fix it. >:(

Updating from the avastUI in both the 8.0.1487 beta and regular 8.0.1483. For some reason the 8.0.1487 beta is stating that this is the latest update, but the 8.0.1483 installation on my win7 netbook detects it and is updating now.

Edit: BSOD on reboot on update from 8.0.1483 installation on my win7 netbook, rebooted three times, BSOD on every one. Looks like I will be doing a clean install on this system.

Generated support package including mini and full dumps, this is meant to be automatically uploaded.

Also see WebRep not staying in position but is not making IE 10 crash when I exit IE, so better now if it would stay in place. But question about this new secureline, it shows you have to activate and has a place for a license file, is this the same file as for my Avast Pro? or is this some thing you buy separate? Not sure I will ever use this but want to know in case I do. Thanks sly

EDIT, WebRep not showing up in google search

Updated from previous version 8.0.1487, the only thing noticed for now is the license not retained on my AIS. Reinserted and now it’s seem ok… Thx avast team

[system]

I have AIS and tried to do the update, it said it had to do a restart, which it did.

Now it has reverted back to version 7 !

How do I fix this, download version 8 all over again ?

[Staticguy]

I don’t see the new program update for Avast Free on download.com.

When will it be available?

[Staticguy]

I think it will take some time for the new program update to be available to download.com

Anyways I will just download it from this forum
