AVAST 19

The following was copied/pasted from https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=224223.0

Happy New Year!
New stable version 19.1.2360 (build 4124)has just been released to celebrate the new year 2019! This version brings a lot of new features including full 64-bit version, new settings and more..
 
What's NEW:

- Simplicity! We’ve simplified our settings screens and even added direct links from our feature screens to their settings

- Search! We’ve added a search bar to our settings to make it easier to find what you need

- Speed! Users of 64-bit Windows should now see faster PC startup and scan times

- Automagic! After purchasing another Avast product from within your antivirus, the new product will now be installed and activated automatically — no activation code needed

- Security! Our Firewall’s network detection is now better than ever

What we FIXED:

- Firewall now runs properly (without a PC restart) for those who’ve upgraded from Avast Free Antivirus

- Boot-time scan results can now be found in your scan history

- Fixed improper arrangement in our Web Shield detection (threat type and URL were switched)

- Your settings can now be backed up and restored again


How to install:

1. Update from your existing Avast version via Settings -> Update -> Update program

2. Or you can download the offline installer and install from here

======================================

Remarks:   I have not personally downloaded/installed this new version.   Users who choose to do so should proceed with caution, as this appears to be a major re-write of avast to take advantage of x64-bit systems.   (It is no longer XP/Vista compatible).
