ishan_rulz Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Download I could not find the Homepage to it. just the direct d/l link. (If you right click on it and check the page, it will show you that it is clean ..from the avast.com website) Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 It's in the Avast! forums. Based on their current bug lists, I think I'll wait until a few more betas pass until I test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarq57 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 This should not be used where AV protection is required. It is very strictly a Beta, and some features (updating etc) are unavailable. Just a warning for those who may be tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Yeah. Beta is hardly what I want as my AV protection at any given time. Beta test a game, fine. Beta test an AV? I pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razz Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yeah. Beta is hardly what I want as my AV protection at any given time. Beta test a game, fine. Beta test an AV? I pass. Corona, I agree with you 100%. I also look at it this way...avast users have been quite satisfied with the latest released version (4.8) so why be in such a rush to update to a version which is still in beta. Be patient and update to avast 5 when it is officially released. It would certainly be different if 4.8 was not good - in that case I understand the urgency to try and improve it by updating ASAP.

Icedrake Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 New Beta Update: From 5.0.104 to 5.0.143. I'm going to try out this beta as it seems like they've gotten a lot of bugs fixed, and all the features seem to be working properly for most people.

ident Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Lets not get to complacent on AV. The way some people make out is if you did not have AV you would be constantly infected. I dont even use one. I'm perfectly happy to test a beta. It's how software is developed. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icedrake Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 New Beta Update: From 5.0.143 to 5.0.150. They've been having a major FP issue so I went back to Avast 4.8. Not going back to the beta until they get the FP issue fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach112 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The last thing I'd be testing is an anti-virus beta, that has the potential to go so very very wrong.

Icedrake Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 True, but I watch everything it picks up, just in case. Just to be on the safe side, I went back to Avast 4.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 So, is Avast 5 still on for October or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ident Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The last thing I'd be testing is an anti-virus beta, that has the potential to go so very very wrong. Hence why i always test in virtualbox. Only way bugs are discovered. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yep, Avast 5 is scheduled to come out in a few more days. I have the latest beta version of it right now, and it's running even better than Avast 4.8. No FPs, no issues, no slowdowns, no nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icedrake Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 No I don't but go to the Avast forum's beta section to download it. It's being released in November? One of the first Avast blog posts about the beta said it was getting released during Oct. 22ish. Ah well, I'll wait another month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
