I thought this was a beta release but when I just checked to see if I had the latest version through my GUI it downloaded this version. When it asked to restart it took a long time for it to do this. I did uncheck the Chrome box and it didn’t install it but my Firefox seems to be running so much slower since this update.
release candidates and beta are found at top in this forum section. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0
Thank you Pondus. I had just seen on Major Geeks that this was the newest version and was just coming in to post that is was resolved.
