Sure. :D

Avast! 6 Free Antivirus, I didn't install the Mail or P2P Shield.
The letters are visible since I pressed Alt during the screen-shots.

View SlideShow instead. (Requires Microsoft Silverlight)

I like the autosandbox and web reputation from the picture.

It appears that the auto-sandbox doesn't function properly. In the first video (from the post above) the dropper file named moduloa.exe was not sandboxed. Same issue was noticed in avast forum.

Still a lot of work to do on Avast! 6.

I'm surprised, by it's low RAM usage; 3,500 K (Task Manager) on boot. It sometimes shoots up to just under 20,000 K on updates. Averages around 12,000 K.
I haven't had any CPU issues so far. Very good job from the AVAST team!

pranaygtr, thank you very much for screens. GUI looks even better.

I am not shocked with poor beta results. That's why it's beta and it is not supposed to protect your system.

But all together it looks very promising for a free product. Let's hope they will be able to release it nice and clean

Yes it's a beta but it's a public beta so it should be more effective in my opinion. That being said, I do like the website rating feature. I like Avast & I hope this get's fixed, they have some good ideas.

I watched the development of Avast 5.0 beta and I remember they didn't activate all shields in the first beta release. With each new release they activated something new. So let's wait till the next beta version.
