Latest version of Avast Antivirus

Just something that went through my mind while reading about software features. It is the fact that not many (very few to no softwares) monitor their entire code for intrusions, software is in this day and age quite volatile and lacksadasical about how intelligent it actually is. A smart software will constantly monitor its own code, check its code even when not running, when running and upon quitting it's engine. But right now you could tweak most software and it would not have a clue You did... That's my point with this post, so anyway yes I await the day that software actually intelligently uses it's code and it's monitoring of that code as well as how it interacts with everything it is designed to interact with. Right now, but for now I choose win7-x64-ULT. for its half intelligent design, yet ease of use and full-on multimedia functionality, along with avast v4 & 5 firefox, ie 8, ms office 2010, power iso, magic dvd copier, nero 9 essentials, and all that win7 has to offer as well, no its not fully intelligent but hey either is this post LOL anyway enjoy talk soon!

Thank you Aaron. First post updated. :)

free = we test the next version

I would just like to add that they are currently working on the 64 bit version that will allow you to do a boot scan, which can only be done now with the 32 bit version. Something I really miss. The current home version 5.0.507 will soon be 5.1Fabe

Pre-release updated to 5.0.542. No changes to changelog that I can see.

Thank you Aaron. First post updated. :)

Thank you Mitchell. First post updated. :)

MUCH MUCH MORE.

Irrevocably I cannot install avast v5+ on my pc as right now I am having installer issues, nothing fully installs 100% none of the software packages, It's always this way here with me & my pc, if there is a problem to pitfall a windows user, I get it pronto, as always. Anyway everything else works so just after I reinstall C++ and get a fresh windows installer package installed everything should be hunky dory & AVAST V5+ can finally go on my pc, but that's not near not in the near hours anyway, Will see, but AVAST V5+ GUI is very nice & I see the upped all security in it as well, amazingly awesome! But like any good malware monitor/ blocker/ remover, if it's touted, it will surely be hit on by more MALWARE(S) LOL Rest assured that's a fact. Anyway Enjoy Your PC Time Folks!
