I haven't found that at all. Admittedly our ME compact is not used too
often, however I just returned from a 2 week vacation using it daily,
including Avast updates without any problems.

Still on good old ME, looking for free replacement for AVG 7
antivirus due to go out of support any time. Very few alternatives, Avast
seems like good bet, but seems to me I read in this NG a little while ago
that ME and Avast Free do not get along. True? If so, any other
alternatives besides ClamWin?
