Hi Mandy. I don't use Avast! myself, but I have heard of it. I understand it has an update component, so perhaps you should refer to the documentation or online help to see if you can search for updates manually. To those who slate Mcafee, this is an example of one of its many benefits, you don't ever have to worry about updates as they are automatically pushed to your computer, not the other way round. all the best and hope this helps you Mandy. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mandy To: access-uk Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 10:53 AM Subject: [access-uk] Avast. Since coming back from my cruise, Avast hasn't updated at least not verbally. It didn't whilst I was away either. What should I do about this? Mandy.
