This morning fairly soon after starting my system (XP Pro SP2) I got a popup saying that a virus update was available. The popup remained for about 10 seconds. So … surprise … I downloaded the update.
A few minutes ago I restarted my system. Folllowing the restart I was running a “chkdsk” in a DOS window (I know we are not supposed to call it a DOS window anymore - sue me) when a I saw the fleeting glimpse of a blue Avast! popup. If it lasted 1 second I would be surprised. I checked the update option from Avast in the systray and there was indeed another virus update that was downloaded.
So … AndyP … seems that whoever told you it lasts 15 seconds was guilty of a terminalogical inexactitude … or as some say … just a plain liar!!
