Avast! Version 5.0 is here!!!

Today is the big day—the day we (and many of you) have been waiting for—we are starting the release of the Version 5.0 products today. This is a pretty complicated roll-out so we are staging it. Today we will be releasing the new products (and the new website) in English and French. Over the next 10 days or so, we will be releasing the products and website in 12 additional languages (German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese). Other languages will then be added as we have them available.

Three products (Free Antivirus, Pro Antivirus, and Internet Security) and a new website are being released today. Even though we have expanded our product portfolio, our philosophy of having and promoting a top-notch free antivirus is paramount. This philosophy has enabled us to achieve 100 million users and we are continuing it. As you read through our new website and launch information, you will see that not only is the new free product easier to use and more visually appealing than the old product, it provides even more security protection. And it is still free and free from annoying pop-ups and requests for money.

Final version is 5.0.377. Last update the other day was .373

Tried to update from .373, said it was up to date, so maybe newer final version isn't available thru the program update yet. Clean installed it, is 5.0.377

so does nobody use Security Essentials or would i be better of uninstalling it and using Avast

I like the new interface, it's very much improved and looks more professional. It installed without any problems, uninstalling the older 4.8 version in the process. The registration key was carried over, and it was registered automatically. I also like how, if you have protected the program with a password (which I strongly recommend), that when you try to access it you have 60 seconds within which to provide the password, after which access is automatically denied.

Hello Joe,

I have no problems with running MSE and Avast at the same time on my system. :)
