The current version has a few limitations and known bugs. We are aware of them and plan to fix them in the next build(s). But it's good to know these before you submit a new bug. Here's the list:

- It's better to uninstall previous installation of AVG 2012 before installing AVG 2013. Some of the reinstallation procedures are still 'buggy' and we're fixing them in the next build.
- Localization of the product isn't finished. The only final version is English at this point. Same goes for Help files. (Product installer is English only at this point!)
- Update doesn't work if you use IPv6.
- Firewall logs are sometimes not displayed in the user interface (are empty).
- Scan does not work in the Safe mode.
- AVG Accelerator may not fully work in Google Chrome (video acceleration might not be working properly).
- AVG diag (tool for diagnostics) may crash, when sending data is complete. However this is know to be under very obscure circumstances.
- "Change" option in the Windows' Control Panel does not work.
