I installed the new software version hoping it would cure my shut down problem and thought it had eliminated the problem, but later today shut down again and once again my computer just hung on the shutdown screen.
Using Windows 7 Pro on a brand new notebook.
Had same problem with .396.
Iangho.dmp is after install, update virus database and then reboot.
Iangho1.dmp is after booting in safe-mode I checked Settings/Troubleshooting/Load Avast…
To get Avast working I had to uninstall in safe-mode. Reboot, install and check Settings/Troubleshooting/Load Avast… before rebooting.

Dear Avastfan1
Congratulation! You’re Lucky.
Where is th elink for .396?
It is now available as a public release. You should be able to download it from cnet when they update their site to include ver. .396 instead of .377.
Hope to have been of service 
Just got the automatic update notification for
396. Updated from 377. So far, so good.
Fingers crossed.
have you read?
please,can you answer me?
best regards!

A search of the forum would have yielded far quicker results…
It is not currently available for 64 bit systems, but is being worked on. It has been suggested that it may be available in 5.1, but this could change…
What you would find if you search…

I am currently using AVAST 4.8 - just wondering whether the notification of the new Avast 5 would be available via automatic update on 4.8?
Worked fine for me, (Windows XP Sp-3)
I created a System Restore Point
I closed out of all Windows and diabled all protection shields before starting the download process. When prompted for a reboot I answered “no” and decided to reboot manually. Works great!
