hi -ECS-,
Suggest doing a repair install of the old version 8.0.1497, and the toaster pop-up re the update notification to version 9.0.1500 will continue and is normal.
You can safely ignore the pop-up that will appear after repair operation until you are ready to update to the newest version once the gui is reset. avast! will support 8.0.1497 as long as you wish to keep it but the notification will continue to appear until you actually do update. (Note: If and when you do move up to the newest version, best option here is to do a clean install of version 9.0.1500, or later bug-fixed versions, as there are too many new features in .1500 not present in .1497, many new and different file changes, so to avoid issues with upgrading within the gui, go the clean install route for best results and much less troubleshooting. Update to the latest version via a clean install.)
Don’t do an upgrade via either the toaster or within the gui. You’ll save yourself some grief if you choose to do it this way.
