Avast! 4.8.1227 is available But because there is no official notification on their website or on the forum, I don't know if this is still a Beta release or an Official release. My guess is that it is a Beta release Keep an eye on this topic :

Update : From the reactions on the forum you can conclude this is an Official release But at the moment only available when updating Avast! it self

No its not beta cause you can get the updates via the updater if you right click on your "a" in the taskbar. Also download here.

Thnx for the download link Vettetech Problem is that once you joined their Beta you get all the Beta updates also through the internal updater

Greetz, Red.

Josh has been asking about avast! 5 on Avast!'s forum (the thread is quite informative), but what price CAVS now?

See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=37227.0 for 4.8.1227 problems with Opera and the Comodo board.

I'm not a fanboy.
I'll test CAVS 3 and AVAST. If i prefer CAVS, i'll use it, but if i fell AVST is better, i'll use it.
I use CFP because i tested a lot of FW's and i think is the best.
I use CBOClean because i think is a great product.

Of course, i trust COMODO products, and i'll test all their products, and if i like it, i'll use them.

Avast! has fixed the webshield problems today in 4.8.1229.  That's what I call user support!  Listen hard for CAVS3, Comodo!

i wonder if this fixed the webshield vista issue. im wondering any one gets it. every few days the event viewer says the web shield didn't respond in time and i have to reboot.
