August 7th, 2006· improvements in executable packers (most notably, added ASProtect and MoleBox unpackers)
· fixed incorrect statistics in sessions of scheduled tasks
· fixed the Program Settings menu item in the avast tray icon menu
· solved a rare problem that could eventually cause even a crash of the OS during boot (Windows 2003)
· Standard Shield: by default, system DLLs are not scanned anymore (speed optimization)
· further improved Standard Shield speed under Windows XP (generally, less files are scanned)
· Standard Shield: improved compatibility with Microsoft Office (particularly, saving of Excel documents on network shares)
· transition to new data storage - avast does not need the ODBC/Jet drivers anymore and should therefore work better even under older versions of Windows (NT4)
· 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
· temporarily disabled the CHM unpacker
· removed a limit of maximal length of winpopup alerts (used to be 128 characters)

· implemented new method of deleting of locked infected files (now using the boot-time scanner technology)
· avast! Server Edition should now work flawlessly with Windows Windows Longhorn Server beta 2 and higher
