That’s allright vlk!
I will download the setup again 
You mean the “Retrieving information” box? This will be a new Welcome screen (shown immediately after installation), most likely going live tomorrow (at least the English version). It’s not there yet so that’s why you didn’t see anything but the progress bar…
The Network Shield should work normally. Strange.
Any idea why mine worked then if the server was incorrectly serving up 5.0.677 ?
Not that I’m complaining about my installation working (install over 5.0.677) ;D
It probably didn’t quite work. I bet the next time you invoke program update you will get back to v5.0.677.
thanks, all is good!
Had to do a reboot for it to initialize. Strange, as everything else was working, and never had to do that before. Seems to be Ok now, thanks.
Yes, invoking a manual program update drops back to 5.0.677, downloaded again and will install after a reboot to drop back to 677.
Hi,
Is there any plan to support Windows 7’s Mobile Broadband Connection in avast! Firewall?
My thread for this problem---->>>> http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=66940.0
Installed with no problems. Had to reinstall Adobe Flash Player to see statistics, but now OK. Did an update and it stayed at version .798, so I have the right one. Installed AIS but running in Pro mode currently.
Thnx Avast! Team
Downloaded and upgraded, but I have to get a few hours of sleep now. I will look at the BETA tomorrow and let you know
Greetz, Red.
okay all works fine now, concerning the wrong program update prompt, doesn’t happen anymore after installing the new package. But I got another problem, all shields are off after each reboot. They get re-activated in a click but still, there’s a problem. Also, I’m getting the message again that my AIS license has expired, and that’s probably causing the shields de-activation…lol, re-activating the shields reactivate my licence too. Okay no big deal.
That said I just gave a shot to my first boot scan on W7/64 and it worked fine. For obvious reasons it cannot scan EFS files but that doesn’t matter, I’m glad to have the boot scan again, last time was with 4.8 on Vista32.
edit: Hi Red 
i installed my lic and i still have the buy now green box at the top but it shows my normal subscription anyone else see this?
Downloaded and Installed it. Everything is running smoothly here
OK I have seen my first Behaviour Shield event blocked, this belongs to Outpost Firewall Pro “ACS stands for Agnitum Client Security Service, part of Outpost Firewall Pro” which is required.
This is strange since Vlk said it was in Passive mode (so why would it record a blocking action ?):
*The Behavior Shield functionality is still incomplete in this build. And even in the final v5.1, it will work only in "passive mode", which means that the new sensors will be active but won't be stopping the attacks, just reporting them to our backend infrastructure (unless you have opted out from the avast! community membership). This is to allow us to collect enough data before enabling the real thing in Q1 2011.
Does this mean that although the Behaviour Shield says it has blocked this, that it actually hasn’t (see image as it is running) ?
Edit: There is still no data relating to detections being entered into the BehaviourShield.txt file. This was something we were screaming in 5.0.677, but nothing seems to have been done about this as there were 12 & 9 so called infected items, image 3
nice option, the timing of Avast popups is now tweakable …also,I’m noticing that the quickscan (so a pre-set scan) sensitivity and packers settings are not grayed out anymore. IIRC this was already doable through Avast.ini but I preferred to leave it to default, well it’s supposed to be a pre-set scan, but okay, may be that’s just for the beta phase.
Oh yes, no change at all with the firewall… I was expecting at least the ability to abort connections, may be in 6.0…
okay hmmm. if i do a fresh install and DELETE the 2 leftover folders from the uninstaller it works fine with no buy now green box???
I hope i don’t cause problem to anybody for asking but. Does the Interface of Avast 5.1 look different?
no it really does not
Many thanks Vlk
- The Antispam will not scan emails unless: “avast! 5” in Exchange Client Extentions is unchecked, with avast! Antispam checked in DCOM Add-ins. (This is in Outlook 2007)
- The Firewall Packet Rules GUI bug is fixed, however, new rules that are added cannot be saved.
- I’m also experiencing the problem with some of the shields turned off at startup. (Mail + Web)
So far that’s what I’ve found… from a clean install (from scratch). Will continue to test.
