ive been using avast for a while i like it, its a great av. the real time protection is great. but heres my issue.
so i decided to download and install avast 5 from the official site. im using 64bit windows 7. it installed fine and ran but with bugs. first off the on demand scanner had the preset levels but i could only see the icons and no text as to tell what is what. also if i clicked on one of them to run a scan it did nothing.i could create a custom scan it it would run but with no progress bar or % so i cant tell how far into it would be. i then canceled the scan i noticed my custom scan i just created then had the same issue as the preset ones. no text and when i clicked it did nothing. next i tried the update on both data base and program version both initiated but with no progress. just stuck on 0%. so i ended up uninstalled then reverting back to 4.8. i was anticipating 5 because new heuristic detection and spyware support and the pup feature. it seems to me the final version may still need to be worked on.
i was thinking of just waiting it out till the version was updated but i decided i would ask here and get information on this.
thanks
