Hi
I`m still using Avast 4.8. I understand that as they`ve started the new version: 5 , they were some users complaints about some issues.
My question : Is there a significant improvement worthwhile to update to the new version ?
Thanks
I would say 100% update to the latest version. The interface is cleaner and seems to scan quicker than before. I have been using it for a couple of months and have had no issues

Thanks for the heads up. Just installed it

I am enjoying this thread. Have installed Avast 5 on a couple of computers and like the new way of registering, no more email keys. Question I have is ...
Is Avast 5 better or comparable to AVG Free??
I now have AVG on my main computer and it hasn't given me any problems. In the past all I've used is Avast. Had I known of the new Avast update I would have installed it
Thanks :0

Well, as far as I know "upgrade" made my boot time longer and it was more unstable!.
After I clean installed, it was better. Visible change in performance.
That's just my opinion anyway.
Enough said
Clean install it is
Thanks

You can do an upgrade. A clean install is always better, but you don't have to.
Aside from just getting out the stuff you never use is there any other advantages of a clean install? I think I am leaning toward a clean install but I just don't want to be wasting my time and efforts. So I guess I am asking WHY is a clean install better?
Thanks for replying

It is there in some folder, you can google it. You MIGHT be able to restore it.
On a side note, for a better 7 experience, do a clean install, trust me.. it is all you need. If you want XP, you can use the XP Mode.
I am using Win7 and it is amazing.
I am upgrading from Vista premium 32 bit. Can I do just an upgrade or would a "clean install" be that much better. I have a lot of stuff on my computer
Thanks

I do Thanks!!

Is Word 2010 available for sale? if so how much?

It apparently isn't the same in Vista.
I found this same suggestion on a lot of Vista sites, so a link doesn't really help, but it supposedly has the same effect as the XP tip.
Either way, it can't do any harm to try it.
Thanks much Dennis

Try this Tom: http://www.vista4beginners.com/Folder-Options
That should have something to uncheck that is or at least is close to this: "Automatically search for Network Folders and Printers"
Using the Alt key to access the tools menu is a nice trick. It can be accessed through Vistas "Organize" tab however. I don't think that network folders and printer option is there however
Thank you
-
still not sure if this is an option with Vista
-
Don't have Vista, but try opening 'my computer' then at the top click on tools, then folders options, and then the view tab. Then you should see the box to untick.
I don't see that option to check. May be somewhat different in Vista
Thank you anyway

Does this pertain to Vista? I can't seem to navigate to that setting. I am right clicking on the startup globe and selecting Explore, after that I'm lost
Thanks

Do you know if it's a flash cookie?
Try unticking adobe/macromedia flash under applications.
Thank you Hazelnut. Unticking adobe did the trick. That was driving me crazy
Thanks and have a great holiday

I also have Saved Form Info Unchecked in FF under applications. Is this correct??

Did it work okay before the last CCleaner update?
If so see here, you may need to update the last update
http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showto...mp;#entry121842
No I always had problems with it. I took the cookies out of the saved side and put it to the delete. I then saved it again but no luck. Very frustrating to say the least

Hello
I have having trouble keeping Pandora radio signed in. It appears that even though I have CCleaner set to keep it's cookies, it is being deleted anyway. Is there a way to check this? If I close and restart FF my Pandora is still signed in. If I close FF and run CC my sign in info is lost.
I hope I explained it correctly
Sign in info is lost in IE8 as well after running a scan
Thanks

I dunno what went wrong with you. Currently, I use the following add-ons :
Adblock Plus
Adblock FilterSet.G Updater
Basics
Download Statusbar
Feed Sidebar
Firebug 1.2.0b3
FireGestures
Flashblock
ForecastFox
Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer
Nightly Tester Tools (currently disabled. its only there when I decide to test those supposedly 'incompatible')
Open IT Online
User Agent Switcher
IETab
Skins - Aquatint Black Gloss, Past Modern.
I've not had any problems so far. Generally, what most people seem to come across, (ie - crashes, slowness, etc) I've not found. I've had nothing but smooth sailing since beta 5. It's odd.
Would you please explain just how the IE Tab works? I have it but not quite sure what to do with it. Can I get windows update through it?
Thanks

Every screen shot I see of FF3 or skin preview on the addon site has an over sized back button. I don't have that. I set the icon size to small or large and I don't have an over sized back button. Is that only on Vista or what?
I have no problem with the sizing of the BACK button as well. I'm running Vista

FAQ Check near the top about profiles and changing profiles.
All fixed guys
Thanks
Stupid me, when going into customize I had seen that the buttons (back/forward) were grayed out. I now tried dragging them over and it worked.
Sorry!
-
Just noticed I do have a backup. Chrome edit plus with profile backups. Just don't have a clue what to do with it

Corona
Where would I look for it?
Andavari
I tried doing a another install but it got me back in the same place. I only need the back / forward buttons back (they are grayed out in Customize)
Or I need help in copying and pasting my info from one profile to another.
Thanks everyone for the help

That in itself was a much needed update
