[Jprogramming] J801 released!

[Mike Day]

Well done on the release,  everyone at or helping Jsoftware with 801!

As for Avast!,  I've experienced problems a couple of times with it 
protecting me from j801 beta install versions.
I've tried reporting these occurrences to their company as false 
positives with no apparent success; certainly there's been no response.  
I included the details as I knew them of Jsoftware for them to follow up 
if they wished.

Anyway, with the latest Windows version of Avast (2014.9.0.2013) I found 
you can disable the file system shield and/or the web shield for 10 
minutes,  probably enough for a download.  That worked ok for me,  a 
week or two ago with the latest beta,  at least. Haven't tried the 
release version yet.

Thanks,

Mike
