Tried to update but it shows I have the latest version…8.0.1481.

23

It takes a while to distribute to all servers. :wink:

24

fixed links to v8. Sorry, guys :slight_smile:

25

Thanks, updating to this new release :slight_smile:

26

Okay. Thanks.

27

Yes still showing RTM build 8.0.1481 as already up to date, have tried a few times, but still no joy.

28

waiting for the update servers to sync, atm the .1481 isn’t offering .1482 as via GUI-update …

29

Awesome :slight_smile: avast! updated to v8 using the in-built updater, kept it simple and easy. :wink: No problems
The scans are notably faster just completed a quick scan…

What about the AdBlocker? No mention of it?

31

is the the final version of avast 8?

32

keloo05, the list is anything but complete. But you are of course right, the Ad Blocker is another new feature.

Thanks

A minor typing error on “FIx now” on the software updater page. Should be “Fix now”

34

So how do we licensed Internet Security users upgrade to Premier?

35

I have been able to get the program update from my win7 netbook that was on the avast 7.0.1474, now I didn’t get the usual update screen, where I was able to do a custom update and I ended up with browser cleanup, software updater and Ad Blocker that I wouldn’t have installed on a pre-selection.

It had the winpatrol plus crash again but much earlier in the game, but again when asking about new startup entries.

My XP system with avast 8 RTM is still reporting up to date.

36

updated by auto mode from 7.0 without SafeZone (I didnt install it, because didnt use it) to 8.0

Problems:

  • launch the browser in a sandbox does not work
  • Sandbox Settings are not saved

it’s because I did not install the SafeZone or?

win7x64

37

Both my Sandbox and Safezone are working fine. However I did a clean install. The safezone and sandbox are 2 different components so I doubt not selecting the safezone would effect the sandbox.

38

returned to normal after a reboot.
Everything works well !!!

39

Did a clean install :slight_smile:

Everything working fine as it should ;D

Thanks avast!
