Default Avast! to Stop Spport for Older System End of 2009

Hi Noel, good to see that it still being supported - even if "supported"
isn't quite the right word. Very rarely use my WinMe laptop now. Battery is
totally knackered and I've no intention of throwing (even more) money at it.
My new Vista laptop has taken over my resources these days g

BTW - was this 'early' installation (05:56 BST) just in case MS may pull the
updates?

Nah - I actually did the install/update a couple of days ago, but
insomnia/dyspepsia reminded me about your comment this morning.
My Vista/W7 lappy is taking everything I can throw at it as well - although
it'll have to go back to PCWorld for them to fix the BD drive, which won't
play Blu-Rays any more (in any of the four OS's installed!)... I'll be lost
without it for the few days it'll take them to sort it out. (I think the
blue laser is gone, as everything else works OK)

Hello Noel,
does Joan know something we don't know? g
It seems strange, actually, to read about someone 'installing' ME.
My entire ME setup (desktop) just sits there, in case of an emergency with
the separate 'Vista' system. But it's in perfect working order and I try to
keep it that way with periodic check-ups.
Always good to 'hear' from you, Noel.

Harry.
