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.


I am also still running Avast on Windows ME with no problem. I got tired
of
the update persistently starting when it was most irritating, so I changed
the settings to Manual Update, and start it myself two or three times a
week. I have not seen a pop-up message in ages.

I just use the iAVS Update and leave the Program Update alone.


Exactly the way to proceed, Asger Lund Mikkelsen.
The thing is, I don't use the system that often.
I only turn it on to update my securities in order to keep them current. The
machine serves me as a standby.
Thanks,

Harry.
