Bug recognizing avast! anti-virus version

Hey, guys. I don't know how to go about reporting a bug, so I was hoping maybe one of you guys could give me a hand at that. I'd just like someone to know that Speccy doesn't correctly report the version of my anti-virus. I have avast! version 6, but Speccy reports that it is version 5.

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Mine is the same.

 

I don't know for sure, but this could be an Avast issue, as every "Alwil Software" and "Avast Software" entry in both "HKEY_CURRENT_ USER" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" registry hives show Avast 5 when I have 6 installed. (XP SP3)

 

Which is as the corresponding folders are named. (Program Files and All Users App Data)

 

The only mention of Avast 6 is under the version numbers highlighted green.

Speccy mustn't be getting it's data from the one location containing the correct version number.
