DaveMax Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Firstly, I would like to ask what is the difference between Maxthon Browser for Windows V4.9.1.1000 and Maxthon Browser for Windows V4.4.8.2000? As they both look like final releases and this is confusing. Secondly, my Avast! AV flags this installer as malware, as does Virus Total. I’m guessing this is a false positive.

Chantao Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I suppose the difference is that there is the search box again. But it has remained, like taking 4.4.9 or 8.2000 is on some pages: You have an old browser, to make the network install Chrome, and I am surprised, because he is like Chrome work.

DaveMax Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 OK, so which is the actual final release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 They're both final releases, but from different branches. 4.4.8.2000 is feature complete with an older blink core 4.9.1.1000 is missing some features found in 4.4.x, but has a much later blink core. I would recommend using 4.9, unless you want a feature that hasn't made it's way to this branch yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMax Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 OK, problem solved, Avast! isn't viewing Mx as a virus anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMax Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I managed to install V4.4.8.2000 after uninstalling V4.9.1.1000 and it works fine as far as I can tell. The portable V4.4.8.2000 is also running fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MX 4.9 is test version of MX5. So it's OK. Mozilla do this from time to time for some versions of Firefox. But I wanted to know about it a week ago!

Thanks, it is a bit confusing. I assumed it was something like this. I don't think Mx 4.9 is quite ready yet as it wouldn't let me stream some TV channels. Wikipedia claim that 4.4.8.1000 (October 29, 2015; 4 months ago) is the current release lol! Mx 5 might work properly eventually ... until then I'll stick with V4.4.8.2000.

Kaasie17 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Find it very confusing too that there are two final versions of the browser. V 4.4.8.2000, with the setting of the browser data delete (clear cache) the entire browser crashes. I can not adjust so this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
