Hi I am hoping someone can bring me upto date with current status following the recnt update that seems to have caused havoc for so many… thankfully other than initial scare i do not SEEM to have any problems BUT have not dared restart my pc yet…
I have read sooo many postings along the lines of "leave avast " “avast messed up my Pc” "Whatever you do don’t reboot " etc etc and to be honest my head hurts and am nowhere closer to knowing if I can NOW safely reboot my pc or not…, some say the way to avoid problems is to uninstall avast and reinstall to start afresh and avoid the probs caused by recent update…
In 1 post I read “problem was fixed with the latest VPS-091203-1 updat which I just received automatically through Avast’s normal update a few minutes ago.”
According to my own Avast details I am running VPS version - 091203-1 ( 03/12/2009) so does that mean I am safe to reboot my pc as the problem has been fixed? - or do I need to uninstall avast and then reinstall ?
Also based on this recent situation shld I have program updates on notify me ( i do use that setting for other programs) but when I 1st installed Avast and asked for pointers re rcmd settings for Avast the notify me re program updates was not mentioned, so it did not thihnk more about it…
I do remember being advised to have auto virus dbase update option on automatic to keep current but now following this situation is that wise ?
I have only been using Avast a short while and would value your advice
Update - 05.12 Since this initial posting Avast has updated and now am using 091204-0 04/12/2009
