if IE is set to the "Work Offline" mode

reports them differently.

(especially ashServ.exe)

scanner service on certain Windows 2000 configurations with MS Outlook
installed

* Optimized CAB and CHM unpackers
* Fixed problems related with on-access scanning of named pipes
(Windows NT/2000/XP Standard Shield)

correct background color
* Attempt to fix sound-related problems under Win9x
* Added links to certain FAQ entries on the Web
* avast! now correctly registers in the Windows Security Center
under Windows 64-bit
* Fixed certain conflicts with copy-protected programs (AsProtect)
under Win9x
* Warnings about suspicious e-mails (heuristics) are now displayed
correctly even under terminal services environments (and while using
the Fast User Switching feature in Windows XP)
* Added Romanian and Bulgarian language packs
