Thanks Steven,
Today I updated from 5.0.677 to the latest version (6.0.1091) via the GUI within avast. The update went just fine! It seems to be working okay so far. Firewall asked for permission (ZA) – which I gave, and the update completed without a hitch. For now, I chose not to install “WebRep”, but I may add that later. Ran a quick scan of 10-gig of files and it took a bit less than 9 mins. Thanks to the talented team at Alwil for this great new product version. I was concerned with it getting bigger and bigger (aka ‘bloatware’ like Norton, McAfee, etc), but I think the added features so far are worth this growth.
One question… under ‘Summary’ then ‘statistics’, it says I need to install Adobe Flash player to view charts. I already have Adobe Flash player installed (ver 10,2,152,32). Does it need to be at a different location so avast finds it? It’s installed in the normal place.
Thanks again.
