Well then, there must be a programming error in the OS check then, it’s hardly difficult, Windows XP is 5.1 and Windows 2003 is 5.2, you may find it unlikely, but my old screencap says differently; http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/470/antiv0.png
Despite the remaining shortcut to Avast4, it had been uninstalled prior to that attempt. That one was taken a long time ago, but the same error still occurs.
I am not asking for an update to 4.8, I am asking if the nagging can be removed or that the Avast team actually hire some competent programmers. The database update is CPU heavy, uses almost as newer versions probably would when idle if the performance on other people’s systems is anything to go by, the CPU usage can occur when the program is NOT updating anything, usually around the time those pop-ups appear. Logic bombs and scare-ware do not appear professional, and I would advise that the Avast team do not implement such trickery in future.
Aside from this I can’t help but feel you are avoiding giving me a direct answer.
