Latest version of Avast Antivirus

Hi WI7JP, it is working perfectly on both my Win7 32bit Home Prem. computers. But, I don't use the Sandbox feature because my Outpost Pro fw's do it for me.

I tried avast when my nod32 license ran out which I think was 6 or so months back it was still v6.x.

Whilst I didnt find it perfect (what av is?) it generally worked ok.

But then v7 came, it wreacked havoc on outlook (other users confirmed bugs I found) and then when I did a upgrade on the avast on my laptop from an older v7 to newer v7 the av on it completely broke, hanging boot etc. with the avast service stuck, so I eventually gave up on it and now my laptop has mse and my main rig is back to nod32. I do still wonder why I use a/v's tho as they are buggy and slow things down, and once in a blue moon it may find something thats not a false positive or not something I already know about.

Thanks for the update Mickey.

Not happy with using Update Program from in Avast, it installs Chrome and the Chrome toolbar without asking

Will uninstall the old version and manually install the new one from now on, where you can de-select it.

I just installed 1473 from the UI Update program on a system without Chrome, and it did not install Chrome or the toolbar.
The only problem i see is WebRep isn't working with FF 16.0.1, but that's noted on the Avast forum right now.

I don't use Webrep, I prefer WOT.

After a restart it asked me if I wanted to install Chrome and a 2nd choice to make it default. Unchecked, and it closed. A Guy
