AVAST 2014 R3 RC (9.0.2015)

[Petrovic]

Hi all,

We are more than happy to announce AVAST 2014 R3 RC (build number 9.0.2015). Thanks for your feedback from the previous beta!

We're introducing several important pieces in this release:

* Stream Filtering -- fixed stability and compatibility issues, it's running smooth and fast now, so no more browsing problems

* ARA/ARC -- implemented internal architecture improvements, if you can, please test these components, thanks a lot

* Firewall -- the firewall should be more stable and with better compatibility with other network applications

* Improved! Software Updater – new installation wizard lets you download and install multiple updates at once directly from download.com

* Improved! Browser Cleanup – improved detection and removal of browser protectors, those tools that try to block us from getting rid of annoying toolbars

* Improved! GrimeFighter – now supporting 12 additional languages and with an advanced console for more control of optimization tasks. Go ahead and fight the Grime!

Known issues
* GrimeFighter is sometimes offered incorrectly on Win 8/Win 8.1. We will fix that soon.

It should be possible to install this version on top of your existing avast! installation (all settings should be preserved).

Any feedback is appreciated! https://feedback.avast.com/response/add

Yeah, nothing changed from the "Beta" to the "Final" release!
I should say "stable release" ,as Avast seems to be in a state of constant Beta!

@nastavnikhe Agnitum did license Outpost Firewall technology to Avast about 2 years ago, http://www.agnitum.com/news/2012-12-06-agnitum-firewall-technology-avast.php But we've never heard anything more from Avast about this.

@Fantasy Windows 7 SP1, Vista SP2, XP SP3 - Windows 8 still in the works.

It seems it will not work with windows 7 either... I downloaded it and tried and it said "Its not you, its us" or something.
