INTRODUCING: New BETA of avast Home/Pro (4.1.353)

I can't download that file
getting the same error on my system...

Hey guys what’s up? Ever heard about downloading text-based files? :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Like right-clicking the link and choosing Save Target As…? :slight_smile:

Sure, the copy’n’paste method works too, but it’s a bit less comfortable :wink: :wink:

I can see in your update list, there is still no semi-transparent feature in avast! on-access scanner, under Internet mail provider, Advanced tab - "Show detailed info on performed action"...

It’s not in the list, but it’s in the program (the list only contains the most important changes). To set it, open the file \data\avast4.ini, and add the following line to the [AAVM] section (if the section does not exist, just create it):

TagOpacity=XX

where XX is the percent number. E.g.

[AAVM]
TagOpacity=70

A reboot may be required for the changes to take effect after this.

Of course, it's just cosmetic bug, but it still counts, right ?

Ehm… a bug??? :o :o I wouldn’t call it this way, really

Take care,
Vlk

Faster in what?
I don’t think there were any significant speed optimizations done…

Thanks for advices about downloading that file… and…

Sorry, my mistake, I tried to write down “cosmetic change”, instead “cosmetic bug”, but I typed in a hurry. Of course, it’s not bug, but something that would be nice to change…

Cheers!

OK, transparent feature is working, I just added those lines inside that .ini file…

  • I HAVE BIG PROBLEM -

After beta-update, my booting time increased up to 40-50 seconds… crazy!
Unacceptable… I tried to reboot my system 3 times, and same story…

Please, can you solve this one ?

Thanks in advance !

At what stage of system startup does it stall?

When I enter Windows, just right after entering my password and log into Windows… takes longer time to load all those icons in system tray (avast!, Zonealarm and Internet Connection)… I noticed that just after installing beta-update…

Cheers !

Sasha, I bet on ZoneAlarm + Avast…
What do you have into Windows events?

I have ZoneAlarm since 2002 and no problems at all especially with avast!

What Windows events ? If you mean in my startup… here is screenshot… the cleanest startup I have ever seen !

Sorry Sasha, I mean Administrative Tools > Events (or whatever is the translation in English). You’ll see events of System, Aplications, Security and avast! :wink:

kindly add total viruses detected to the about dialog box.

We don’t know this info - it’s not stored anywhere in avast. And it’s virtually impossible to find out as lots of viruses are detected by generic methods and some other share common names…

It’s been discussed here already.

it used to be there in some previous versions. ::slight_smile:

fyi: works here too (win2k sp4). haven’t noticed any differences, so that’s probably good. I’ll just imagine that it scans thoroughly, but without any viruses it doesn’t really catch my eye :wink:

Inge

does this beta test cover more than the program update that was just released?

What do you mean? Like if you’re expected to do something with it besides installing it…? :slight_smile:

How can i downgrade it back to normal version? I’d like to update my VPS ;D

OK, here you go, you should have the update now…

Cool thx :-*

Hate to say it, but a problem I had earlier and that seemed to be solved has returned in the Beta version. When leaving the pc unattended for a certain period of time Windows XP tries to go back to the user login screen. At that point Avast is giving a false virus infection again.

Artras, which false virus infection? Which files and virus names… ::slight_smile:
