Stable version is out

NEW Avast Version 20.10 (December 2020)

Here’s what’s officially new:

Expanded Password Protection - We now protect your passwords in the beta versions of browsers, too. (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and AVG Secure Browser - Premium Security Only)
Rescue Disk improvements - Windows 7 users can celebrate knowing this feature works for them again, and we've improved its performance and made sure it properly cleans up related .DLLs for all users
Bug stomping - Just the usual bug fixes that keep your antivirus going strong

Here are some examples of the bugs we stomped:

Restart PC dialogue no longer ignores the "Next century" reminder. (Just wait and see…)
Fixed driver incompatibility with HVCI (AV installation now works when Windows Core Integrity memory isolation is on)
Cleaned our code to remove obsolete pre-alpha and legacy licensing components
UI now opens properly on scan results after an Explorer scan finishes (was not behaving properly with UI minimized)
Fixed a crash that happened in log viewer when logs were too large
Improved service stability by properly terminating some thread-hooks
We now allow removing services without exe/dll file (fileless service)
Got rid of unnecessary reboot required after specific types of detections
...and loads of others
