I can’t wait to see the Beta!

It’s the beginning of August. Where is this beta already….!!!!

Please, we can’t wait any more.

I want avast!5.0 Home Edition.I want a firewall.

When this beta / alpha?

Great news! Definitely gives a thumbs up in redesigning the interface

can’t wait any more, please give us a release date for the first beta version :hope: :hope:

i’m scared of using beta incase it blows my computer up like last time

end of July / beginning of August.Where this beta???

Chinese are waiting avast!5.0!
We are looking for a fierwall in free editino.

@alex
ditto. stop teasing and let us try out the beta

I hope you guys really focus on strong kernel self-protection. A friend of mine got blasted with a new version of alureon and it took out avast with ease. It took me more than 2 hours trying so many products to finally get rid of it. Even after I got rid of it, I had to reinstall avast because it couldn’t re-enable the real-time protection

I forgot to mention that GMER was able to detect the hidden modules in the processes, but it was unable to find the real problem, the service/driver. Also, GMER wasn’t able to list ANY services OR files, so it was impossible to try and manually delete the files. Figured I’d let you know since you use GMER’s technology.

Please, please, please!
I’m getting crazy waiting for so long!

Common guys, get it out already! We’re dying here…

We don’t want no stinking beta.

I like the new GUI except for the fact that it does look a bit like a rouge. lol

Also, will avast! Pro still be included in the family pack or will it be the security suite? Just wondering.

Seems pretty good

I wish he didn’t mentioned about the end of July and early August timeframe. Made me check the damn site daily….suck!

i love avast, for me is the best

Can you shed some light as to when this beta will be released. Any comments or replies would be most welcome to me and to all whom are constantly asking. Cheers

It will be released next week. I can feel it in my piss.

I love to avast 5. It will be good antivirus. I am waiting avast 5.

Come on VLK. Give us some indication of when the beta will be readily available to download………

please give us a date……… (:

What are the system requirements for the beta 5 release?……

Hope that the version 5.0 home has the same modules of the pro version..I will be waiting if the time comes out..TY Alwil Sooftware

How graphic does not seem bad, but the security suite with the firewall is just a payment and you can have freedom as the normal Home Edition? would be interesting to test the beta version 5 also, I test on my laptop

Here is a perfect example of how companies fail to listen.

Was there a survey actually conducted on which appears the prettiest? Although I feel looks play a major role on many decisions, companies do tend make terrible mistakes on various issues such as design or how it functions. People like simplicity… It is why some people buy certain iProducts for that very same convenience. Of course, there is two ways to do it… Listening to the customers (Like Microsoft/Mozilla) and the other is to tell customers what they WILL like (iGoogle/SonyPS3) It’s a shame because I recommended 2 people to your service… I will make sure I will never do something as foolish as this. Customers love choices and diversity. Explains why almost every email has customization features. Avast was my first anti-virus… So I can not provide any reference to your competitors. I wonder if there is a way I could refund unused months? Impossible! This is simply not the corporate way of business! I hope that in the future companies can listen to ALL customers… For 5 pages of comments doesn’t accurately represent the entire user base.

…Or maybe I am just an OLD NetScape user who is only a 25 years old born in North America?

I didn’t mean to offend anybody with my opinion… I just feel that this new 5.0 appears rather complicated. I am sort of stuck with 5.0 because I paid for 2 years of Professional 8.4! If it at least supports skins like black vibe by szcraftec from Sasha Zivanovic-Craftec, then I’ll be alright. But this new one is somewhat revolting… What happened to the cool blue spinning “a” amd “i” as well as a cool design? Design always plays an important factor to casual users. If it doesn’t look attractive… I will go for the competitor. To me all anti-virus are equal… It really comes down to the look. Thus, explains why I am STILL using NetScape. The prettiest darn browser ever! I am looking forward to avast 5.0 if it supports more choices and better features and cool design for the screen! Thank you and smile!

This is a very good example that you can’t really please everyone. Maybe 9 out of 10 people we have asked consider the new avast 5 GUI substantially better than the previous one – yet there are people who just prefer the old one… What can I say… agreed that many people judge the program by its look, and THAT’S WHY we’re coming up with the new GUI. Cheers.

Nice GUI. Very detailed and pleasing to the eye, not very bright, not very dark. FTW.

To tell you the truth I can’t tell if Veronica got a response back from VLK or not (I’m used to seeing a icon on the far left column). I wanted to add this idea though, although it most likely has been though of already by someone else already.

Windows Media Player has a full mode and a skin (more compact) mode (and the skins can be changed as well). Perhaps the new Avast 5 should state that it has a new “full mode” rather than a “new GUI” (and dropping the old one).

P.S. Patience is a virtue

The new version of Avast Home v5 will including protection against phishing or spam because threats are considered more or less dangerous as the virus?

P.S: Patience is the virtue of the strong

Russian Federation waits patiently for the the outcome of the final product! Cheers.

I just love the new GUI.
Hope the new version uses less resource than its elders.
Also plz don’t change the virus database location to C:\(like many other AV). Database should be in the same drive where the main program is.(Consider people with old PC having less hard drive.)

i for one am one of those people that like the new GUI over the old unclear GUI from the standalone versions…
If you buy a product that is providing security for your precious documents and possibly even your bank or creditcard details, just based on how it looks then you live in a dreamworld and need to wake up….
an AV GUI should be clear and functional to its job and show the info that is needed, this GUI is doing that exactly…. the old skinnable GUI is an overkill of graphics which are not needed to protect your documents…

let me ask you this: do you buy your home security system also based on the fact that it looks so cute and pretty instead of functionality?? if so ill be posting around your house….

as for the product itself:
it will be getting used to the new GUI but it will be a huge improvement over the old GUI.
Since the beta is due to come out (as promised?) will there be a beta for the equivalent of ADNM too? if not what are the plans for the ADNM version

wowz i can’t wait for it!!!!

I can’t wait. Keep up the good work.

OK we are so tired of waiting we just dropped off – (that is we are now SLEEPING) so best include an alarm bell in the beta version of Avast 5. That is so as we don`t miss it. Hope it will be August of this year, suppose we will have to wait another 22 days to see.

Come on now U were not kidding right. Try to include a block for http://suspicious-domain-block.com

“the old skinnable GUI is an overkill of graphics which are not needed to protect your documents…” -Wim

Wow, that is pretty hardcore there! Overkill to want something ever so basic? When I purchase a product, I want the full package and extra. My 8800GTX doesn’t appear to slow down with the current GUI. I have plenty of space to run just about any program I want, even though my PC is 2 years old. I simply want the best for my home and it’s electronics. Now, there is a healthy competition out there that ALL perform equally! There are many high-end users that pay plenty for something that looks as good as it runs. I read good reviews from all of them. AVG, Avast!, Avira and so on!

Almost every anti-virus company already has awards. (More than 20) All claimed to be the best in the industry. They all get the same warnings. They all prevent viruses… All critically acclaimed! What made Avast very unique to me was the fact it supported diversity. It offered a wide array of choices! I am not trying to say the new red-vista theme is revolting… Because it isn’t… I like avast 4.8 because it was the most appealing. They all do the same exact job! Some people prefer simplicity and design… Others like things to be more complex and detailed. Avast 4.8 pro catered to both groups! Something I am very sad to see just go away. Truly was a great company to do business with!

Sorry but we ARE losing patient & interest. Please release it! I don’t want to wait for another minute!

Where is this beta release. We where promised that it will be ready to download by end of July beginning of August. As a company you are failing miserably and also keeping the many people in false hopes. At this rate people will be soo fed up they will turning to alternate AV programs to protect there PC’s if this beta is not released soon or a release date advised. Can we all pls have a truthful release date for this product. Thx……..

Much appreciate your honesty in replying. Lets hope that it is released this week otherwise you will have a many dis-gruntled people asking questions.

excuse me,, in the free version, will the network shield and any others except the firewall and antispam still be available??? as i know the antispam and firewall will be on the pro version….

or i mean the shield providers(all) will be still available in avast 5 free version?

i’ll evanesce :
excuse me,, in the free version, will the network shield and any others except the firewall and antispam still be available??? as i know the antispam and firewall will be on the pro version….

I believe that the firewall/antispam will be on the Internet Suite Version and not the Anti-virus version (but BOTH will have a free and pro version), I am expecting all the shields to be present on the free version except for the script blocker, scheduler, and PUSH updates.

If I read above correctly, Avast Home Edition with all its features in the old version plus some extra features in the new version will be free of charge. Avast Professional will of course not be free and not either the Internet Security suite.

Please add a support “ON LINE” for upload malware not reconized by Avast! The send by email is very bad and long for us.
