Moderators hazelnut 2 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2009 As far as I can see it will be a good reason to move to avast 5 version. Link to post Share on other sites
Icedrake 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks Hazel. Good thing I'm already on Avast 5 (well the latest Beta 2 build anyway). Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators Andavari 1 Posted October 26, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hope they at least patch the 4.8 builds until version 5 is released as a stable build. Link to post Share on other sites
Tarq57 0 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 From the OP link: Vulnerability #2 is addressed in the upcoming avast v5.0 (due this November) but there are no plans to do anything about it in the current version (4.x branch) Doesn't bother me at all.

Moderators Andavari 1 Posted October 27, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks for posting that info Tarq57. I'm still keeping Avast installed though. Link to post Share on other sites
Tarq57 0 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 You're welcome, and ditto. I'll just make sure that none of the other users (=1) mess with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Corona 0 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm still keeping Avast 4.8 as well. I dinna visit pr0n. So far, so clean. Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators Andavari 1 Posted October 27, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'd like to know how that person found a vulnerability with Avast's self-defense module enabled, because it gives nothing but Access Denied prompts with it enabled, of course any file can be saved into the Avast directory which it will immediately start protecting too. Note that disabling Avast's self-defense is completely foolish. Link to post Share on other sites
