This is nothing to be alarmed about.

The bankers who write malicious programs will always discover weaknesses in any piece of software.

I feel comfortable that the competent Avast developers, underpinned by their army of loyal forum experts, are across this problem and working feverishly on a solution.

No problem on my XP Pro system.

It does not know about avast! V5 on my Windows 7 system.

There has been another topic on this already and as nmb mentions a program update is imminent, likely to be this week.

Edit: Interestingly Secunia doesn’t even find avast 4.81356 on my system ;D

7

same is the case on my system.

Secunia doesn’t even work on my Vista SP2, it takes more than an hour to complete an exam… when it should be 15 minutes :S

P/S: They say that they’re not incompatible with the combination avast!+Comodo Defense+. I disagree =)
