No problem Technical my friend… you said right (very good point):
If I'm not wrong Drahnier, this happens with the Professional version.
Skinnable applications - that I know - do not 'follow' the rules of windows schemes, that is precisely the reason of the skin: different appearance
If people don’t like skins, no one forces them to use them… there is always Pro version of avast, where you can have theme in avast! windows looking exactly like default Windows theme that you use currently…
Let’s just say, we can put this just like one more advantage of Pro version… so if you wanna have it all, pay for it… it’s almost always like that… Alwil guys can make no-skin version of avast Home Edition… I can’t. I can make just skins…
Build 407 is not a “final” release, it’s beta… and it’s announced as that - nobody forces you to install it! I believe betatesting by volunteers is quite a common practice with many respectable software companies.
So if i understand right this new version takes advantage of AMD64 processors under normal 32bit Windows XP? Or did i misunderstood that
You misundestood that. Now, the current version of avast (4.1.396) does NOT work correctly in AMD64/WinXPSP2 environement. For each and every file scanned, it returns “Internal Program Error”. :-\
I have a question about the new Avast version, will the avast! Home/Pro 4.1.407 final release when it comes out. Will it work on WinXPSP1 platforum??? Cause I am not ready to upgrade to SP2 when the final release comes out for at least 5 months until is safe to download the final version of SP2.
Of course, it will work as it works now, no need to update to SP2 (from the avast’s point of view).
The problem with SP2 is that for AMD64 CPUs, it introduces new security “improvements” (support for non-executable stack) - and the current version (396) of avast! is not compatible with this new feature.
Glad you like it. After you do the tuning, you may post your settings somewhere (probably to the original thread on the topic) as an example for other people (with a small screenshot, perhaps).
Thanks for the offer.
Honestly, I think I can live even without it… I don’t know what should my avatar “represent” anyway.
can’t d’l this beta version

Thanks (or no thanks) to all the antique horror movies, “Igor” is almost permanently associated with the mad scientist’s assistant, right? And I think our Igor could quite happily live without that image.
HTTP errors are better looked up here - they’re not part of Windows errors.
I believe the problem may be related to the VPS update for the beta version… Vlk may have some more info about it.
When I imagine the mad scientist’s assistant, as described e.g. in Pratchett’s books, I’d really rather avoid it ;D
