AVAST 8 Program update! (8.0.1488)

SecureLine? It’s an additional thing. Just click on the link “Please purchase a subscription” and you find out about the costs.
Google search? Refresch the page and WebRep will show (bug!).

New version finally get along with Comodo Friewall 6 ;D

“Last Update attempt” entry finally aligned properly. :slight_smile:

Hi jrace, thanks for the reply. If it cost extra I will leave it alone, do not need anything more. I have little problems with security so would not be worth the trouble. Tried the refresh of google search and it did not help, no WebRep in the search results. I am testing this new version on my old Windows 7 32 bit before going to my newer computers, maybe that is why?

@ slybo
The other WebRep problem “not staying in position” is also a numerously reported and not fixed bug! >:(

for the moment unable to update from 1487 to 1488… hopefully just overloaded servers

I had to do a clean install. Everything is working like it’s supposed to. WebRep is now working in all of my searches. I got a blue popup saying I should install the plug in for Google Chrome but I don’t have that browser installed. I unticked Google Chrome before installing this version.

OMG!!! I thought the avast rep web has been resolved. In fact, it hasn’t so I had to download the avast online security only for google chrome. Even I read in this forum that the browser integration under the Avast GUI doesn’t work for Google Chrome. I hope this get resolved. I don’t want to take any chances doing does sort of testing. I will just wait for an update to fix that. Security plugin works only IE10 and Firefox 20.0.1

Updating from the avastUI for the regular 8.0.1483 avast free version on my win7 netbook detects it and Installed, but resulted in a BSOD

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 up

Don’t know if this support package made it up as there is no confirmation.

I did a clean reinstall of avast 8.0.1488:
Uninstalled it from safe mode.
Ran aswClear for avast 7; ran aswClear for avast 8 and rebooted.
Installed 8.0.1488 and by all accounts it went well, rebooted and straight back to a BSOD.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL sTOP: 0x0A (0X0, 0X02, 0X01, OX81A1B71E)
In previous BSODS I had the same Stop error, but the last group was different 0x081A1B71E.

Will now upload this (3 minidumps and memory.dmp) to the ftp/incoming location under file name DavidRdumps130502.7z

Thank’s Avast for NO reply !

Did a reinstall anyway and the only thing not working is the software updater, states it is Disabled !

When is avats! 9 out?

Bitumen!

Thank you for AIS 8.0.1488

I cant install security plugin for chrome browser.

“I cant install security plugin for chrome browser.”

The actual install button doesn’t function, right? So it’s not just me, apparently…

I did a fresh install of the latest version of avast!8. Once you install it u will get a notification at the right hand bottom corner saying to install avast! Online Security. That’s is only for Google Chrome browser, because there is a problem with the installation of Web Rep only for google chrome and it can’t install it via the browser integration on the Avast GUI if you click install. IE 10 and Firefox is okay Web Rep works with these two browser. Other than that everything works fine.

It updated for me from the internal updater with no issues so far.

Thanks for the release :slight_smile:

Given that 8 was only released a couple of months ago so you can probably expect 9 around the same time next year.

If you download the free edition from the Avast main website, it currently downloads (from CNET) the older 1487 build, not the 1488 build.

See Pavel’s initial post of this thread for the download links.
