INTRODUCING: New pre-release build of avast [5.0.415]

Thank you Aaron. First post updated. :)

It never has in any version. They haven't built the boot time scan to work with x64 as of yet. They say someday, who knows when though.

Hello Yowan,

Yeah, the boot scan only works when Avast is installed in a 32-bit OS instead. There is currently no support for it in a 64-bit OS yet.

That's why I use KIS2010, Avast5 is fully x64

There is nothing called as Boot-Scan in KIS2010.
