The released Windows Vista compatible version is 4.7.981. It was released on 15 Apr 2007.

Now I realised that the release news is already 1 month old. I apologize for the delayed post.

Umm.. Wrong again! :wink:

Here it says minimum version compatible with vista is v4.7.892

And when we go to the version history page, it says v4.7.892 was released on September 25, 2006 :rolleyes:

Avast was actually the FIRST vista compatible antivirus.
