It’s recommended to use the in-product update (Settings->Update->Program), if you have Avast already installed.

Enjoy this version, it’s much better than the previous :wink:

Thnx Team :slight_smile:

Greetz, Red.

Remove include removal with the removal tool. Reboot and do a clean install. :slight_smile:

Currently my installed version of avast free doesn’t say a newer version of Avast is available. Perhaps it will show up later on.

Thanks MartinZ for another great release of Avast :). I will update my avast to this version in a couple of days, because I ran out of broadband internet bandwidth :). I will report back after I upgrade to this release.

It still doesn’t look like the all of the update servers have been updated (or are ultra busy) as my win7 netbook, which hasn’t been used for beta builds reported 2015.10.0.2208 was up to date.

A further manual check appears to be downloading, however it is very slow and may even be stalled, has sat at the same progress point for over 5 minutes.

On my XP Pro system which has been used in the beta and RC builds has just thrown up a popup program update available. Update has completed on that (but the other system is still stalled) and I’m about to reboot.

I suspect that this is an on-line stub installer not the full setup file.

Need the full version avast… gimmee the juice!

They put the wrong number on the in program update so it isn’t going to match up until they fix it

I did a full removal in safe mode then rebooted normally and installed new version, but same problem remains

See my post above… you’re knocking yourself out for nothing… they have to fix the version being broadcast

Thx for the update!

I have finally updated (from the UI) my win7 system with 2015.10.0.2218 - previous attempt stalled did a reboot and tried again. This time it went through and it is reporting the correct version number 2015.10.2.2214.

So I don’t know if that means an end to your issue.

Thanks for the update, I’ll update my avast over previous beta :slight_smile:

I didn’t have any issue doing the update. I just finished rebooting.

I guess it depends on which update server our computers are looking at; some are correct and some not

Mine is showing the correct version number installed (2015.10.2.2214) but Avast central seems to be telling it that 2015.10.0.2214 is available and that I should update. As Dprout69 has said, it’s probably just a case of waiting for Avast to broadcast the correct version number.

Please post link for full installer.
I don’t use stub installers.That is my rule.

It shows the correct and current version I have installed but it’s showing the wrong new version that is available (refer to bob3160 attachment and my attachment). I will update it in couple of days, because I ran out of broadband bandwidth lol.

Thx, updated now without problems.

German Release Notes here for those who are interested.

I guess the real question for Avast is should the released version number be 2015.10.0.2214 or 2015.10.2.2214?
