Default Avast and RC1

I've installed the latest version of Avast (4.7.871) tonight on RC1 and
Vista security says it's incompatable and disables the drivers.

On the Avast home page they state that Avast is now compatible with all
versions of Vista.

So... what's up with this?

Hi,
That's because v 4.7.871 isn't RC1 compatible. The Avast version that
is; is 4.7.881. I don't think it's on their site yet.
But there was a link;that was posted before to get the new version; and
someone may still have it. Sorry, even though I'm running 4.7.881; don't
have the link.

It's available through their forum, I'll dig up the link here in a sec.
Ahh, here we go:

That's the link that leads to a downloadable copy. Enjoy!

I'm using it on RC1 64 bit OK. Howver I do think it slows my machine down a
lot.
