system · 2015-11-26T13:28:42.000Z

WOOWWWW I´am flashed, new information from Avast and a release date :-)))

Is SOA without Silverlight now ?

JayZ · 2015-11-26T18:00:48.000Z

SOA is still with Silverlight, will stay like that as replacing it would mean a complete redesign. Would probably be easier to build a new console actually.

E. g. it’s not working in 64-bit browsers (excluding MSIE)?

Hi Guys,
Can you please update the post with a list of the bug fixes and tweaks?
Thanks

Links at first post to SOA - without mirror distributive. I see at test PC that mirror can’t be downloaded at installation of SOA more than 1 hour (internet speed 18 mbps), please give links to beta with mirror already in. Or you don’t have?

Yes, if browser *64 (Chrome, FireFox) - will not work. But, I don’t know PCs with windows where you can not see installed IE.
Thx God that avast do this beta. No matter that him use silverlight for SOA.

This version doesn’t resolve VPS issue with XP.

Fragender · 2015-12-01T07:09:42.000Z

I can confirm that VPS issue is not fixed on Windows XP for us either.

If install this - http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/vpsupd.exe - than after too have this bug?
May be you have some from bugged old version in VDB, as example.

system · 2015-12-01T14:24:13.000Z

Hello,

i ask because chrome an ff has put silverlight on the blacklist and it will end in the near future, also adobe flash… I Know it works with a workaround or only with IE but it is no more the state of art.

See end of life Microsoft silverlight and also edge browser from Microsoft…

VPS issue hasn’t been fixed here as well. WXP + Avast EP. Clean install doesn’t help (after avastclear), manually running vpsupd says everything’s up to date.

I installed the SOA BETA on my Windows Server 2012r2. Seems to work OK, I didn’t note any differences from earlier versions. I still can not access the SOA using a browser on the server itself (no change from previous versions). When accessed from a Domain Network client, using MSIE 11, the local (client) Avast! EPSP BETA would disconnect (as reported on the SOA) after about 10 seconds. I could log off and reconnect and the same action would happen. I understand this is but a BETA, I was expecting better. Use of Edge browser must be made to work, otherwise I don’t accept Avast! SOA as being compatible with Windows 10.

Avast! EPSP BETA was installed on two Windows 10 laptops, again I didn’t note any big differences from earlier versions except it was allowed to work with the Windows 10 operating system. After a couple days I removed the Avast! EPSP BETA because it was blocking connectivity to my wireless network HP printer. Disabling Avast! EPSP and the printer could be found on the network again and made to function. Again, I understand this is a BETA but I’m disappointed.

I have installed the Free Avast! software on these two laptops until the SOA and EPSP software is greatly improved.

@Test6
Any news about new build where you destroy that ugly bug with WinXP updates of VDB?

_George_ · 2015-12-08T13:16:21.000Z

Avast, where are you?

The Avast website states the Endpoint is now Windows 10 compatible, yet still pushes out the old 8.0.69.390 install from April 2014? What the…

I download it thinking it was the updated AEA for windows 10, when through the install, etc. just to find out I borked my old AEA in order to install the SAME FREAKIN version I had.

Do you guys have a DIRECT download link to the new version ( don’t point me to your website – it’s wrong ! ) so I can get my AEA back up and running properly! ???

system · 2015-12-09T16:38:48.000Z

No, not out yet, even though it was supposed to be today!

hillen · 2015-12-09T18:33:41.000Z

I was told by their tech support it has to propagate throughout their servers… cough… bullcrap…
