Tks Webster72n,
It's not often I know enough about anything to comment about it, but glad
I could put forth personal info that could help..
(if all that makes any sense) ;-)

Don't you get those dreadful pop-ups and messages?

No, and not sure that I ever will as I suspect build 4.8.1368 is the last
build of Avast! 4. I have only ever seen the green "updated version
available" pop-up is when not running the latest engine build. I have
yet to see any message, on any system, urging me to update to Avast 5
which as you know doesn't support Win Me. The only time I have seen a
message about upgrading to Avast Pro is when my Avast 4 key had expired
and had not yet inserted a new key.

Hey Mike:

As a follow-up I would like to mention that I was able to reinstall Avast
in ME, including the necessary key, without any problems and 'pop-ups' and
will be using it again, while keeping ClamWin inactivated as a standby.
According to 'About avast' the 'Expiration' for the program in this
context is 'never'. All one has to do is, renew the key yearly.
That is encouraging to me, because I have come to like the workings and
looks of the program and got so very used to it.
Being able to talk this out here is a good thing.
Thanks again for your and Rocky's input,

Harry.

Mike, and Rocky, if I may:

The pop-ups and messages I was getting told me to upgrade with no
further updates available.
I had noticed some activity yet, but couldn't put up with the
'nuisance' any more.
Sorry about the confusion and here I thought to shed some light on it.
