Oops, since something looked a bit different yesterday (WSC recognized Avast) I thought there was already a fix…

Well, I updated Avast today to 4.1.396 and I can only partly second the previous message.
The delay is fixed, but WSC warns that Antivirus software might not be installed and the computer is at risk.

The update works fine on the laptop, though.
So I will reinstall XP-SP2.RC1 on de desktop and see if a clean installation makes a difference. (although on the laptop is more nonsense installed)

Talk to you later!
