XP Updates?

Hi Paul,

I went into tools and changed it as you
suggested:

My only question now is do I trust Avast to
update any of these programs when I enable it
occasionally and find a program that needs
updating?

Thanks,
Robert

I would:

1) Look at the list Avast presents.
2) Run the updates from the individual programs.
For example, use the Flash control panel, use the
Check For Updates button, that sort of thing.

Use Avast as a "hint" some program needs updating,
but look into it yourself.

The table at the bottom of this page, tells
you what the current version of Flash is.

That's kind of what I thought.

I want to thank you for your time
and effort in helping me once again.

Thanks,

Hello Paul,

As it happens I had another pop-up from Avast
which I generally igno

I assume this isn't something I want to do,
and if so how do I stop this from popping up?

Thanks,
Robert

Avast | Tools | Grimefighter | Settings | uncheck the "Always check..."
box.

I should have done this before I posted; I
did a little research:

Then went into Settings Tools Grimefighter
customize and unchecked 'Always test this computer
for Grime' as Nil suggested.
