Avast! 5 beta 1

a little ad,,,hope it don't became like avira.

 

Agreed completely. This is a GREAT app for free. Some people are always wanting more it seems.

 

As Long as the ad is just for there products and stays on that page. AKA no popup. Then yes I don't see how this can be a problem

 

hope they can ADD an ad blocker to the free version...

 

Wow, people will moan about anything, won't they? It isn't like Avira with that damn near full screen pop-up they pull on you. This little thing is tiny, at the bottom away from all the important stuff, and only in the settings, which, really, how often are you in there after you've done your tweaking, if any?

 

That's not such a big ad, I don't mind it.

Does anyone have any comments about the behavior blocker? (I haven't used avast! v5 yet, so I don't know anything about it.) For example: Is it fully functional yet? Is it intrusive? Etc.

 

theyre not going to and theyve said they dont plan to in the IS either. ther are many alternatives to this instead of bloating avast.

 

What is safer web surfing that is not there in free version?

 

From where I can download the full installer for off line install?

Thanks

 

Aigle, Post #412 has links to both the AV and Suite for full download...

 

Thanks Mongol. I did not follow the thraed infact.

Any one can tell abourt safe web surfing pls? Thanks

 

Anyone having problem getting it to register? I had 2 different build of beta 3 and the first one stopped updating saying it had expired but I had tried multiple times to register it.

Right now on beta 3 build .314 I tried 2 days ago to register it and it never did but does say "Not Yet Registered must be registered in next 30 days" but also says current registration expires on 01/18/2038 and date of register 1/01/2005..what gives?

 

Looking thru their Beta Forum many people are reporting problems registering the latest version due to server problems. It should be fixed soon...

 

Only problem for the free AV part.
No problems for suites.

 

Yep, you are right - I forgot to narrow it down...

 

I'm not sure how this can be a problem since the countdown doesn't go down...

 

The countdown did go down 1 day after installing the latest beta

Yeah it does go down but I think it is enough till the final version will be released or may be the next BETA refresh

 

Isn't that the sandbox?

 

I cant log on the avast beta website is it down ? since yesterday I click on the link and nothing, anyone having this problem?

 

No man its up. Check if its only for you down for everyone or just me

 

nothing at all , whats up with that

 

Why is it even necessary for a free AV?

 

"Not Yet Registered must be registered in next 30 days" but also says current registration expires on 01/18/2038 and

How can it not be registered if "current" one expires in 2038?... lol

 

I was not aware. Thanks.
