Avast! v.6.0.xxxx BETA Releases

I find ram usage to be higher with this latest build. Seems to hover around 30meg.

 

Build 1279 is out
And new in build 6.0.1279:
- Solved a compatibility problem with QQ
- Solved a compatibility problem with certain Steam-based games
- Script Shield: Implemented a scanning cache which should prevent redundant/repetitive scans
- Script Shield: Implemented scan exclusion settings
- Script Shield: Now works with Firefox 7/8/9 betas
- Web Shield: scanning of all processes can now be disabled in shield's Expert Settings
- Cosmetic changes in the UI

 

When will be released a true behavior shield?

for example, an application is running and it has performed the following actions: 1) it is copied everywhere with random names
2)startup keys modified
3)task manager and registry tools disabled
4)autorun.inf created

then the behavior shield must block the application and inform it has worm-like activity.

 

Is it not available through the program updater? Does not seem to pick anything up when I try.

 

It's a beta, so only if you intentionally installed a beta one will you receive beta updates through the updater.

 

Avast Released.

Thanxx

Thanks. Thought it was official now.

Cheers.

 

It's official, but there was a bug in the free version only which made them delay the release. On their forums VLK said the delay would last 1-2 hours so if you're unable to get it today, well, I dunno - business is simply tricky.

Introducing: New Beta Version Of Avast - 6.0.1351

We have another thread about Avast beta versions here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=306355

 

So v7 is pretty close..good to hear

 

avast! v.6.0.1352 BETA Released
11.12.2011

What's New:
• Script Shield now works with Google Chrome, all versions of Firefox and Acrobat Reader
• Improvements in WebRep plugins (especially IE)
• Stability improvements in aswSP.sys and the avast! sandbox
• File system shield: improved on-close scanning
• avast! Internet Security: new antispam engine
• Web Shield and Script Shield: more options in the UI

This is technically identical to the previous beta build (6.0.1351) but the updater is now fixed. This means two things: a) you can update use the 6.0.1352 installer to do an update from any previous build (without losing your settings), and b) you will stay on the beta stream and so won't be offered "downgrade" to the previous official build (1289) anymore.

I apologize for the problems the previous beta might have caused

Smooth install...looks fine! Thanks

 

still one BSOD baddie to resolve, dump on FTP, cmon, crush it, kill it i don't like bugs in my Avast!

 

you do realize this is a BETA release!
and BETA's have issues right

 

He may mean the 'BSOD baddie' is in 6.0.1289 and he wants us to give the beta as hard a time as is possible in order to expose it if it's still there.

 

no the BSOD baddie was introduced in recently 135x betas and that's why i said the bug must die before it gets to final version

hence why i have the beta and uploaded it to avast! ...

or You suggest i keep that for myself?
