- fixed a bug in the Script Blocker module that was causing conflicts with some programs under non-English Windows (e.g. the German invoice system Lexware)
- added support for additional executable packers (e.g. MoleBox)
- fixed a bug that was sometimes causing very slow scanning of CAB archives
- boot-time scanner: added support for additional archives (GZ, BZIP2, TAR, LHARC, ZOO)
- improved handling of infected files with exotic filenames
- solved a problem with setting of incorrect access rights to the avast executable files
- removed a limit of maximal length of winpopup alerts (used to be 128 characters)
- Enhanced User Interface: infected items are now marked as red
- implemented new method of deleting of locked infected files (now using the boot-time scanner technology)
- this new version is now compatible with the Windows Disk Protection feature from Microsoft Shared Computing Toolkit.
- Avast should now work flawlessly with Windows Vista beta 2 and higher (Vista beta 2 will be released in the first half of May, i.e. in about 3 weeks); unfortunately, in beta1 + CTP builds <= 5342 there still can be serious OS stability issues
