No boot scan for x64!
No behavior shield for x64!

and one thing more "- avast Screen saver now accessible even in 64-bit Windows" what that means? I have a x64 and Avast screen saver works. Is that somethings that i missed?

 

Are the "ads" still present in advast??

 

yup sadly and it seems no button to turn them off still. also the x64 boot time scan will NOT come till version 5.1

 

Inquiring minds want to know.

Edit: Ah, unfortunate.

 

Are you referring to the medium size banner at the bottom of the GUI?

Seriously, is that going to put anyone off?

 

It's just a small banner only visible when you open the GUI, and only on the status screen or whatever it's called. BTW you can block it by adding program.avast.com to your hosts file.

 

127.0.0.1 program.avast.com

to host file

 

dam it works...

 

some things may not work right if using the internet security version as directly stated by avast.. it works fine for the free on and the pro version though

 

IS doesn't have ads, so using this is kinda pointless.

 

yes it does.. well depends on how you look at it. imo it is a ad to some its not..i dont like it myself but i have been assured in a future revision soon there will be a way to either turn it off or hide it.
