Waiting for v. 6

I am considering coming back to Avast within a couple of weeks. I am wondering if I should wait til version 6 (final) is available. Does anyone know how soon it will be available?

It rather depends on why you are coming back to avast if there is any degree of urgency/dissatisfaction then it would be wise to get 5.1.889 the latest current build. But you must ensure you completely uninstall and reboot before installing avast again.

Avast 6.0.945 is the current beta version, with a refresh of the beta hopefully at the end of this week. There is no firm date of release as that rather depends on how well the beta trial goes and there is one new element yet to be tested in the beta version (Safe Zone, in the paid versions).

I am switching back to Avast from Avira when my license expires.

Thanks for the information.

You’re welcome.
