I had Avast 4.8 which always worked beautifully for me so decided I’d better do the upgrade to version 5. As has been recommended on other forums, a complete uninstall of the old version was done first. I then used Regseeker to ferret out stray files, following up with Everything to ensure there was nothing left anywhere.

Did the install of version 5 and duly registered. All seemed to be well for a while then the screen froze. Couldn’t even bring Task Manager up to check what was happening. The only way out was a re-boot. All went well again for a few hours and then the freeze scenario hit in again.

Completely uninstalled and reinstalled version 5. Absolutely the same thing kept happening which, after two days, was driving me nuts, especially if you were in the middle of something important.

The Avast forum is full of similar complaints so I know it isn’t just my p.c. Eventually found a thread which gave me a link to downloading 4.8 again. Installed that and all is well with my pc world again.

I also use 4-8 and I’ve never seen any pop-ups. Tried the Avast 5 version but had so many problems with it (as are several, according to the Avast forum) that I reverted back to 4.8 and all is running sweetly.

Nice one

That was nice. Always did like that song

That was lovely – thanks for sharing

Welcome, Allan – hope you’re making more sense out of your replies than I am. Hehehe, it’s a job and a half keeping track of these folk in Scuttlebutt

Wow! I don’t think I’d get more than five yards even if the snow was only up to my knees. Brrrr!!

XP3, IE8 but using Firefox – simply clicked on “How to order Pizza” … no problem, it opened, said loading then proceeded to play.

Nice one – albeit a bit scary

Hi Suny, nice to see another newbie here. Welcome!! You’ve obviously got a lot in common already with many here, being from the USA.

I’m a newbie too – still very much trying to find my way around … so busy over the Christmas/New Year period and only just settling back to a normal routine.

Don’t like the sound of your temperatures – much too cold for me

I think the majority will opt for 2010 then when we’ve all got used to the idea we are in the 20th era, the 20 will get dropped and will simply become 10 (just as 2009 became 09 … ie 31/12/09)

Scary – but good

Maybe it was Norma’s way of telling you “I’ll be back to finish you off” – oooooer

Wonderful!! Loved it Most certainly thinking of following your lead

Happy New Year

to all in the Lounge, especially the Scuttlebutt’s. May it be a peaceful and healthy one for you.

Oh, ye Gods, will I get lynched if I say that I’ve been out sunbathing today, in heat of 46F.
