Question about Maintenance setting

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

This question is about Avast! Free version 6.0.1367 running on XP Pro SP2:

Can someone please tell me what the following setting is for and what the results will be of having it checked and unchecked? Neither the Help file nor the “Learn More” link explain it. Thanks:

I’m the rare American that doesn’t buy into the whole “credit system”, so I don’t use this, couldn’t tell you for certain.

But there is more written it the knowledgebase, maybe that will help you?>>https://support.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=989&nav=0

Why are you still running SP2 as it has long ago been un-supported ???

Support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 ends on July 13, 2010

Clearly, he/she missed it, probably because of the dust that was piling up on it from never getting used. ;D

7

Yes, it seems it isn’t very popular at all. :wink:

Thanks all for the links - sorry I missed those. I don’t like and won’t be using that feature >:( Cheers

9

As you like. :wink:

10

Maybe they are using the XP Pirated version ???

11

No “they”'re not dickhead. :-X

12

He/She was talking about avast! CA…!! :wink:
But you’re right that the OP should update to SP3 (on a 32Bit XP).

13

Who’s the dickhead running XP SP2 that has long ago been unsuported by Microsoft! ::slight_smile:

14

I can’t remember why I was told that I can’t upgrade to SP3 on my two SP2 machines (and I have no interest in learning why or spending more time trying to solve it - these machines are bound for the recycling center once I can afford to upgrade).

15

The only reason would be a non legit XP or a 64Bit XP.

Maybe you should get this book as well!
