Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1358, whats new?

Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1358 is on filehippo.com, whats new in this version?

You will fiend it here…when the page is updated… :wink:

Now this is really strange, as there is no v4.8.1358 AFAIK.
I see that FileHippo and Majorgeeks (among others) list it, but when you download it, it is 1356.

I wonder why they thought there was a new version? (and how did they come up with the version number…)

:slight_smile:

Vlk

so there is no such build ???

I read this thread yesterday. I use a download manager(GetRight), and it has a function to see if a file has been updated. So I downloaded the “new” version. Using Hash from Robin Keir gives the following result. Note that I had renamed the September update.

Both were downloaded from http://download665.avast.com/iavs4pro/setupeng.exe

Perhaps this confused them, but if they’d checked they should have known.

Correct!

filehippo.com have now removed Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1358 as the latest update. A bit too quick off the mark there it would seem!

I did send them a mail.
