it’s my pleasure to announce the general availability of a new avast program update, version number 5.0.545.
Most notable improvements include:
• Solved a bug related to submission of false positives
• Improvements in the Behavior Shield (realtime antirootkit part)
• Sandbox: many functional, stability and performance improvements
• Firewall: VPN compatibility fixes (should now work even in Public zone etc)
• Firewall: solved an issue related to hang and/or crash of the afwServ.exe process
• Finally works with major screen readers (avast is now blind-friendly)
• Compatibility improvements in the Web Shield
• Various fixes in the Outlook antispam add-in
• Improved detection of droppers
• Setup program of the Pro AV now also accepts v4.x license keys
• Right-to-left support
• Added Croatian and Arabic language packs
Yeah, video was taken on January when avast5 was released. Since then, most problems (e.g. GloobyGoob’s links) were already solved. There were not many significant changes in the sandbox core lately, because we think it works fairly well and now we try to focus on compatibility issues, speedup and add more virtualization layers. If you find a sandbox compatibility problem, just let us know and we promise to fix it asap. Thanks guys.
does the webshield compatibility have anything to do with the webshield scanning issue i had? and what do u mean by it now accepts vs 4.xx licenses? like u the licenses that arent in lic files?
