Critical vulnerability in Avast Free 18.7.2354

I have a problem installing Avast Free 18.8.2356 on Windows 7 Home(64bit). Does the critical vulnerability apply to the previous version when only the File, Behaviour, Mail and Web Shields are enabled (plus the Browser scan)? I obviously need to continue using version 18.7.2354 for the time being.

You could try the latest beta: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=15
