well man im jst joking be cool nowadays everyone like to test a new software dnt tell me u never use a pirated software any ways i jst wanted to say keep the good work going
Well, thanks for the good thoughts, but the fact is, I actually don’t use any pirated software, and never knowingly have.
And I am sure there are a lot of folk just like me in that regard.
No need to.
I mean, what’s the point?
“i mean whats the point” by Tarq57^^
Umm…I think “they” want the paid version so badly, “they” try those cracks for their own benefit not knowing the consequences “they” might encounter in the future…
U know wat they say, The Pro versions r better the the Free ones…
But personally i dont get “them”…
As everybody know…the best things in life r “Free”^^

-= LOL ;D
the coming out story of avast 5 ;D it must be having a hard time lolol
I would at least like to see what it looks like. 
@Alanrf, come on, do I need to explain?
Have a look at the Windows Defender agents. That is a nicely setup list of vulnarable points to monitor. My ideal Avast standard module would have those options (now it only has on exection and read and write check). Checking every execution is not a sophisticated way of dealing with the blacklist.
When a programs registers itself, makes permanent changes on Vista/Windows 7 virtualised areas (file + reg), loads a driver, accesses disk, keyboard, memory directly or tries to intrude a kernel object, I would like Avast to check its black list data base. I would also like to tell the behavior ‘monitor’ to apply different sensitivity levels for different age patterns (like new programs < 1 day = high, between a day and a two weeks = medium, older than two weeks = low)
When malware behaviour patterns are recoginised, profile the executable (when it is not in the black list) and send it to Avast server for analysis. This to shorten the time between launch of zero-day malware and first recognistion of it in the wild.
Getting earlier malware samples from around the world, increases the effectivity of Avast, reduces time Avast professionals are now scanning for it and reduces the time between malware launch and recognition.

Ha die Kees1958,
Yes this is the newer av approach, however already some time with us, malware analyzing mode. I think in the light of the newer developments and online threats the thing that should be brought in is virtualization, so you can throw the application after the malware or vice versa and get rid of the infection completely. This even seems effective to thward a very destructive file infector like vitro, for which av at the mo (for XP at least) is offering no remedy other then f-disk- re-format and re-install.
Virtualization is a good policy for users that do not know how to confgure their OS and apps properly to be protected and use a special range of protection software. Real experts that aplly safe hex on an O.S. with only user rights and good in-browser protection, e.g. fx with NS and RP etc. hardly need resident AV or FW software, but I would not recommend this for the average user that does not know how to secure themselves. But virtualization and in the cloud scanning will be the future to keep malcode at bay,

avast needs not only virtualisation as checks in virtual environments are easily recognized by malware code and it hides its malware features. avast also needs behavioral analysis in real environment. These two technologies are already implemented in BitDefender 2010 for example.
@Alanrf, come on, do I need to explain?
Well, yes and you did and many thanks for your input.
I am just an avast user like you so I will be glad to see how much of your wish list is actually included in avast 5 when we see it. If the avast team agree with you it will be there. I strongly suspect that folks posting wish list items for the avast 5 release right now are just lucky or will be disappointed.
Well avast 5 doesn’t ‘need’ behavioural analysis, as it is already reported as being part of avast 5
There is no need to hurry and release a buggy program, let the team takes its time and deliver a quality product.
yes there is no need to hurry but i think people are getting a little frustrated because there is no set time.
personally would love to know when the new AVAST might be out
More its take time more its can be good and less bug. So you want a security suite buggy or a great 1 ? I think a great 1. Then you should wait. If needed count the day.
I think some forum members frustration with discussions about Avast 5 stems from the fact that the discussions on the forum about Avast 5 go back to about a year or more ago and, IIRC, there were some posts from the insiders that indicated a Fall release and promises of some screen shots that did not come about. Given that they’ve been cooking Avast 5 for over a year and the competition is developing products with more sophisticated detection methods, I don’t think it’s unreasonable that customers expect Avast to get it done. It’s been s long time coming. At the same time, I respect Avast for making sure the product is fully cooked before releasing it publically.
Yes, better cooked than half-baked and causing trouble like another AV programme recently.
Whatever they make, they better make it good given that Microsoft is now offering a full AV for free.
Another AV programme … ;D Any hint on which AV ? 
Another AV programme ... Grin Any hint on which AV ?I would have thought anybody who had a friend who's mum's sister knew someone who had a brother who once had the product hinted at installed on their computer would have known the answer to that.
Here’s a hint: Starts early in the alphabet. Comes from Europe. Not Avira.
(As evidenced by thousands of posts on help forums.)
Very Good
