what the new version avast 8.0.1492 beta ?
i think it’s the windows 8.1 preview beta. the old avast isn’t compatible with this new windows preview version.
What’s new Avast 8.0.1492 Beta?
There is no such Beta.
Avast 8.0.1492 Beta so fake?
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Avast-Internet-Security-Download-145381.html I have tested the download and effectively displayed the version .8.0.1492 :o Without installing it
Well the direct download from the avast website still shows it is version 8.0.1489.
If there were a legitimate Beta it would be displayed on this forum before anywhere else I would think, maybe softpedia have somehow obtained a leaked in house Beta version ??? or it’s a mistake in there editing ???
Also Computerbase link this BETA Version 
http://www.computerbase.de/downloads/sicherheit/avast-free-antivirus/
Dowmloaded off softpedia
I think it fixes compatibility problems with Windows 8.1.
How and why did they get it before it was released here igor? Leaked ???
Her explanation please igor
Priming the pump perhaps (all of the download sites), in preparation of an official release. The http://www.avast.com/release-history page still shows 8.0.1489 as the current version.
Since as Igor said “I think it fixes compatibility problems with Windows 8.1.” If this build number .1492 is only for win 8.1 (preview ?) there wouldn’t be that huge numbers avast user with win 8.1 preview. It would make sense that new installations of avast have the latest version and those with it installed would have an in place update.
We saw what happened in the recent VPS update that was trying to cater for win8.1 some BSODs resulting in an avast emergency update.
Hi to all,
I downloaded this beta from softpedia to my win8x64 not win8.1x64 and there is problem with conecting it to my avast! account. The rest of functions are running great since this morning when I installed it.
See you…
