December 31st is also in the last quarter of the year ;D
There is no need to worry, they wonāt rush to release until it is ready unlike some other companies.
One thing for sure you will find out here first as there will most likely be a beta version first.
There is an update for 4.8 around the end of this month begining of next month, that should keep you happy for a while ;D
[i]Gee āDavidRā we really donāt want to mention AVG and Symantec do weā¦
I do have a question on the forthcoming program update to Avast! 4.8; will that be picked up automatically when Avast! checks for updates or will I have to do something manually?[/i]
There will likely be first a beta release, notified here, followed by notification of the regular release. If you do nothing in due course you will get a notification on your system there is a program update, do you want to install now,' etc.
Since most of us on the forums see the notification we do a manual program update then and there rather than wait. Program updates are unlike virus signature update in that they are cycled over a 7 day period to balance server load. You could be lucky and get notified early in the cycle or on the last day.

I really canāt understand why there are so many people that are getting all this excited for a new AV program, for goodness sake, surely you didnāt but a computer for this alone did you, itās meant to be used for many things, and itās sad we need to have an AV protection in the first place, but thatās life isnāt it.
Wait till the new version in Beta or full is released, surely you can do that, as the mods etc have more important things to do rather than spend time replying to the same old questions like āWhen is the Avast 5 coming outā!
And I really canāt understand why there are peoples that are NOT getting all this excited for avast 5!
Come onāā¦we talking avast 5!! OH YEAHā¦AVAST 5! ;D
I am sure avast 5 will be a super-mega-bauta-extravaganza-special-killing-app
Iām for sure really looking forward to this new versionā¦just because it is will be NEWā¦with new GUI, and other sexy stuff!
And yes, I got excited when I bought a new car last year, but if I understand your reasoning alright, I should not be thatā¦as I had an old car, and I know how to drive a car?
Come onā¦we talking avast 5 hereā¦the best thing on earth since sliced bread! ;D
And I donāt understand why you groan so much over us that looking forward and get exited to avast 5? If you arenāt so excited, donāt visit these excited-threads
Ok, and then no other should jump up and down? I am not jumping either, but I am really excited and looking forward to avast 5.
