Thanks for any help in advance, went back to version 7.0.1474 but showing in program 7.0.1476 (available 7.0.1474) and also in my.avast.com. It keep telling me to update, how do I correct this???
Try a repair of avast:
Win7 - Control Panel, Programs & Features, uninstall a program, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and select Repair, click next and follow.
You may need to reboot after the repair.
This has in the past resolved this out of sync issue between reported and actual version.
Thanks, for the respond, did a repair and the program updated to version 8. Really don’t like it and like using the 7 version but I guess I’ll get use to it.
Looks like your revision to avast 7 didn’t work properly as the build number at the end of the version number, 1476 is the build number for the avast 8 public beta version.
You would have to do a clean reinstall including using the aswclear from safe mode to ensure the removal of avast 8, there is a version of aswclear, you would have to check out the avast! 8 Public Beta topic (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=114106.0) to find that. But as you say avast 8 is coming and getting used to it is pretty much necessary.
