Avast! 5 beta 1

Good Day ! Peace and Love to all Wilderites and their families. Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays ! Regarding the Avast 5 (Beta 3) Beta. I didn't think that a registration key was even needed for the Beta version. I was given a Key for Avast 4, and when trying to register with the key, surprise...wasn't accepted. The only sense I can make of this is I suspect the release candidate is just round the corner and the registration component was prematurely released ! Sincerely...Securon

 

The registration process needs to be beta tested too although its not working.

 

Soon Come ! That's correct, but as stated this is the first time i've encountered this registration as part of the beta process. And correct me I believe the Beta versions have been available for close to two months now. Sincerely...Securon

 

Other than the little registration snag this program has been running spot-on so far on my Laptop...

 

On what type of avast where you trying to install the key? I don't think avast pro key will work with AIS(correct me if I am wrong )

 

this is a beta i wouldnt be putting your key in just yet waite until it goes final or until they say it ok to. just keeep your code in a safe place then use it when its all ready to go. ie out of beta.

 

I'll wait for official release of Avast! 5.

 

I tried the beahv shield on Win 7 along with TF. Tried some malware domain list URLS but failed to get any pop up out of it.

 

because its still not completely implemented yet as far as i know.

 

Yeah its not completed implemented but I saw some behavior brewing in the behavior section when I tested against malware recently.

 

ye ive heard about that and have no clue why it gives a little jump on the graph every so often when doing things, but its blocking and protecting ability is def not ther yet.

 

Yeah right I have never seen the pop-up saying that avast's behavior shield has blocked some malicious application execution

 

You're not suppose to when executing regular applications...

 

I'm sure the behavioral shield will become more active in the future builds once all the rules and parameters become more defined.

 

Yeah they will be integrating BS don't know whether directly in their final version or will have another BETA refresh.

 

Had to do a clean install of Avast 5 today and the registration worked from within the GUI.

so your license is good for a year. That aint bad. Kudos Avast.

 

Good to see that the registration is now working. Good work avast

 

Noticed today that both update and registration worked on the free AV on XP

 

What is 5.0.326 like?

 

its good, just made everything work smoother and fixed a lot of bugs.

 

They have released a new version of avast 5.0.332.

Its been quite sometime for this version release but no one has posted so I posted

 

mightly impressed with avast 5 beta btw,

although i will probably stay with what i have and be happy about it, im still impressed.

 

i agree, the fact that they add the scheduled tasks and the behav. shield makes avast the best free AV right now.

 

I agree but did avast learn from the FP disaster? Can this happen again?
