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!

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

Avast was actually the FIRST vista compatible antivirus.
