I have a question, when the new Beta version comes out on Saturday the 13th, will Avast automatically install it.
If it is not Auto installed, what should we do to get it, i have been using Avast now for almost a year and have to say i love it.
The beta version already is out since 23 october.
Saterday is the day that Avast 4.5 final is sheduled for release.
And yes, update will automaticly take place.
It depends on your settings. If you have “Auto” for program updates, it will. Otherwise, just go to the program menu (or use the popup menu from the avast! tray icon) and select Updating → Program Update.
Thanks people, i do love this forum, and i think i have auto on, if nit i will try to do it myself, as always if i need help, i will be back.
I presume the Advise-when-available option (my setting for program updates, and I think still the default for them) will still do its thing properly?
If you’re using 4.1, sure it will 8)
Will our settings be saved or will we have to re-configure everything?
Welcome back Sojourner… How I miss you! 8)
All your settings will be saved. avast! rulez 8)
Wonderful! 
And thank you! :-*
Where is the announcement of the new Avast! that I can copy for the Avast! users on another forum? ???
Can’t wait…
In fact they decide just annouce in the forums.
There is nothing in their webpage and I think it will be just after Saturday. 8)
Does that mean Sunday?
As far as I know, the release of 4.5 final is still sheduled for Saterday and it will be on their website. 4.5 beta was only released to the users of this forum, that’s why there is nothing on their website about it.
Sorry, Saturday (after Friday afternoon or Saturday morning).
So, Sunday will be for sure 8)
Well, Guys —
I hope it will be Saturday; I have already put it on a forum since someone asked about Avast! When they do that, I always tell them how good it is, how it always catches the repeated virus attack attempts in emails and how it updates so frequently. 8)
I’m surprised, we’re on 4.5.514 now :o
Keep in mind that because of their location, Alwil is several hours ahead of the majority of the rest of us – GMT + 2 or 3 vaguely rings a bell. And I assume they’re talking about something resembling normal work hours their time.
Whatever “normal” is there, of course – many of us are convinced that Pavel and Vlk probably both work around the clock and take turns catching brief cat-naps. 
Anyway, allowing for time-zone differences, I’d guess that Saturday release from them means that those of us in the Western Hemisphere will see it sometime late Saturday or early Sunday our time.
Hihihi, in fact Pavel is traveling 8)
Vlk, well, he does not work at night very often.
Igor too.
pk, where is he? ;D
Technical, you are privileged!
I still am on 4.1.501 — and this is only Wednesday, after all — I would say:“Are you sure?”, but since you are Technical, I won’t say that.
I’m right this time ;D
4.5.514 is the new beta version. It’s very stable as all others builts of 4.5 version. 8)
