Hi all,
I’m glad to announce the general availability of a new avast program update, version 6.0.1367 .
Here’s a list of most important changes:
Script Shield now works with Google Chrome, all versions of Firefox and Acrobat Reader
Improvements in WebRep plugins (especially IE)
Stability improvements in aswSP.sys and the avast! sandbox
File system shield: improved on-close scanning
avast! Internet Security: new antispam engine
Web Shield and Script Shield: more options in the UI
Added in-product avast! Market
Various other security and stability related fixes
Special thanks goes to everyone who helped testing the beta builds.
It is recommended to upgrade to this latest version by using the in-product updater.
Alternatively, you can use these direct download links:
Free AV: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free.exe
Pro AV: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_pro.exe
IS: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_ais.exe
Note: If you have any problems with this new version, please do NOT post to this thread; start a new topic instead. Ideally one topic per issue.
Thanks
Vlk

Cool. The beta was working flawlessly for me (apart from the initial problem with the beta updater). Upading all my systems…
Hi,
thanks for the final one, seems to work stable, at least on my PC using IS.
Just one small, unimportant question (guess we dont need an extra thread for it ;)): Will the term avast! Market be localized to each language or does it stay as is? And thanks to the translators for localizing “Scan traffic from well-known browser processes only”, since for some situations it became a vital option.
For German users interested, we put up some translation of the 6.0.1367 release notes .

The avast! Market will definitely be translated - at least to the ~14 languages our website is currently available in.
Edit: sorry, I misunderstood the question. See my answer below.
Thanks

NVM i did solve the problem
I’ve decided to keep the homogeneity and let it there as is.
avast WebRep, EasyPass, Market… was kept this way as they’re more or less brand names imho.

Huh, sorry, I misunderstood the original question. I thought the question was about the market itself (the contents) - not the name.
The term “avast! Market” will stay as it is in most languages (some exceptions may apply).
Thanks

Any more details on ‘Stability improvements in aswSP.sys’
I still watch hoping for ‘fix’ for my BSOD’s - oddballs not reproducible.

We fixed all known issue that could lead to an BSOD.
If you were experiencing any BSODs with the latest version, I’d strongly recommend updating to this latest build asap.
Thanks

Updated my systems now.
I had BSODs on Vista many many times so I upgraded to Windows 7 64bit without a BSOD.
