Again, you are asking for trouble using an outdated version of an anti-virus program. Unless their tech support experts can assure you that making Avast 5 accessible is a top priority that will receive immediate attention, you should seriously consider switching to another anti-virus program. Waiting months for a fix is simply not acceptable. On the other hand, you may well be able to continue using Avast 4.8 without encountering any problems. Just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.
