If you're curious, avast 4.7 is on its way...

Me too!

I have a question, in the future will you have to upgrade to the latest version of Windows to be able to use all the features of avast! like Boot Time Scanning?

Damn, it will be the longest week ever waiting for brand new BETA ;D

zivilist: Thanks for your effort. The translation of the help file to German is planned, but it didn’t start yet, so it’ll probably take quite some time. The pages you provided are quite important though, so I’ll try to include them. Thanks!

Iso-G: I’m trying to use “indoor resources” where possible because it’s their job and they’re paid for that :slight_smile:
If you want to go on with participating on the translation, however, just let me know - I’ll be happy to send you the package, either for translation or checking/corrections - whatever you feel like.

justin1278: Right now, I don’t know about any plans to drop support for older OS. The boot-time scanner works on all NT-based platforms, so I don’t think we’re going to remove it.

I think he meant if you’ll impliment new features limited to Vista OS only (like some features are currently limited only to NT systems).

Vista seems to have a different ‘boot’ time behavior like RejZor said.
Is it related to 64bits plataform?

Yes RejZor that is exzackaly what I ment I just used Boot Time scanning as an example.

As far as I know, there’s no difference in Vista regarding the boot time scan. Or more precisely, since I don’t know much about Vista: I know we fixed a tiny problem in 4.6.731 (November 2005) and the boot-time scanner subsequently worked as expected in Vista, without any changes in the boot-time scanner code (and the problem fixed was actually a very questionable call in avast!, which previous OSes accepted without problems, but Vista denied; nothing really significant).

Ok so XP will get all of the features of avast! that Vista will have?

Under the hood, Vista (espcially 64-bit) requires many code changes. However, we’re trying to hide these technical details and make it completely transparent, i.e. keeping the feature set identical.

For new products, we’ll probably stick with support for Win2K and later though… Win9x seems to be too much pain in the a… - and it user base is constantly narrowing…

Thanks
Vlk

Ok thanks for the info Vlk. :slight_smile:

This icon of avast that it appears in the celebrate of 15 years is very legal, therefore it has transparency effect.
It would be legal if the icon of desktop was thus in version 4.7.
Thank you.

can’t wait to see the beta, I’ll watch to see if & when it’s available…


avast! 4.7 Beta … is a week up yet??? ;D ;D 8)


Week starts with monday here in europe :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello,
Thank you for the reply, Vlk.
I’m happy if Sayaka sometimes visits my web to know local users’ wishes.
Most of home users don’t speak English well.

And Pro Ed users may be received technical supports by resellers, but Home users not.
So local home users on my web probably want her technical supports, even if she was so old. :wink:

PS
JP version hasn’t yet had voice data.
If avast! sound files in Japanese would be created with her voice, local users may be happy. ;D


Ok … is a week up now? ;D ;D ;D 8)


@ Vlk or Igor

Without spoiling the more detailed release annoucement for the upcoming avast! 4.7, I have one very simple question that I am anxiously hoping that you can answer for me…

Will avast! 4.7 have much difference with the GUI? Or will it look very similar to 4.6?

Much appreciated,
Dave

It will look the same as avast! 4.6.
