Avast warning?

Postby Barryoneoff » Thu Jul 29, 2010 6:42 pm

Is anyone getting a pop up from Avast telling them that the free version is coming out of date and trying to make you sign up for their security suite? :?

No, I just had an update for the complete Avast last week which I down loaded on three computers with no problem whatsoever. It seems to me you always have to be careful which version you download as the free one and the one to pay for are always so near to each other. I now have an orange symbol for avast and it up loads regularly. When I go over it with the mouse it says your system is protected.

I really have no problems with avast at all. Could it be according to the browser you use?

Just ran a scan to make sure, but absolutely no problem. Perhaps because I have the German language version. Basically have Firefox, but use Google chrome for a particular game I play, use explorer for my blogging writes in Multiply (otherwise Firefox tends to have Java script in the background) and I have no problem with Avast anywhere. No pop-ups advertising, nothing like that.
