What AV did you have before avast ? some machines (like compaq) have preinstalled AV when new ?
Have you uninstalled it ?
Have you run a removal tool after the uninstall so all leftovers are gone ?
Removal tools can be found here http://uninstallers.blogspot.com/
This is the strangest thing. As I said this was installed Saturday on a nice clean laptop.
It absolutely would NOT do any updates of any kind. I tried SO many times Saturday and again yesterday.
This morning several more attempts…BUT…I just turned the laptop on to get the new version install and the green box popped up saying Avast was updated!!!
engine and definitions current version 100906-0
program 5.0.594
I do not understand this at all. But it’s done and as to why ALL the other
attempts failed is beyond me.
I’ve even shut down and booted back up to be sure it actually happened!!
This is Vista Ultimate so I guess anything is possible
I’m very sorry I bothered you all, and hopefully it won’t happen again. But if it does I have no idea what kicked it into gear.
