Hi all,

it’s my pleasure to announce the general availability of a new official build of avast, version 6.0.1203.

Here’s the list of most important changes:

  • improved compatibility with Windows Vista SP0/SP1 (activation issues)
  • attempt to solve the “Windows Media Player using a red skin” problem
  • Firewall: solved the compatibility problem with uTorrent
  • improved load time of WebRep IE plugin
  • fixed a bug in Google Chrome WebRep plugin causing excessive CPU usage
  • improvements in the silent installer
  • improved the CommunityIQ sample submission process
  • improved detection/removal of the most stubborn rootkits (TDL family)
  • various stability and compatibility improvements in the sandbox module
  • added new CreditAlert feature (US customers only)
  • added Thai and Serbian language packs

You can use the built-in product updater or download links on our main website.

Of course, thanks to all the beta testers for their hard word.

Thanks
Vlk

Just updated via GUI and everything seems to be working fine in my Windows 7 SP1 PC… I will give it a try in my XP Home Edtion SP3 PC.

Hi, I unfortunately see same 100% CPU utilisation problem, mentioned to be resolved in version 6.0. It is not!
I removed now behaviour shield, as was recommended, now need to restart to see if it helps. If not – I’ll have to remove othervise nice Avast. I have W7 SP1 Ultimate 64-bit, with i7 CPU 6GB RAM.

The new version is working just fine here (AIS , Win7)

14

Updated from GUI - Ran Quick Scans on all computers and times were about the same as previously/

Everything looks fine so far

Downloaded the installer from Avast.com just in case :slight_smile:

15

What about the BSoD that some of us got??

Is the new version use more or less memory usage?

16

Updated Avast Free via AvastUI from 6.0.1198 to 6.0.1203. Ran quick scan, all is well as is usual. 8)

17

That was one of the areas which I believe was addressed, but you would have to check it out if you weren’t involved in the beta release prior to this update.

Memory usage is broadly the same as 6.0.1125 (and the beta builds) on my systems, they were never high.

Updated through UI from previous stable build and everything is running smooth. Thanks for the continual updates of an already great product. Oh yea, I unchecked the CreditAlret notification setting as I do not want it. Thanks for making it optional, with no nagging…Much appreciated! ;D
