Hi Adrian, 13 hours, even on dial-up, is way over the top for what is around a 4-5 meg download of MSE. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adrien Sent: 30 January 2010 20:25 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Avast Uninstalation Problem Hi George and tony Ok I have removed avast and have gone over to mse, it's good but only being on dialup, the up-dates take a long time. Is this right? I ended up downloading it manually and it said 13 hours, something else must be running.

I've moved all our office and home systems to Microsoft Security Esentials, plus many otheres I know have done the same. So far, no adverse reports. Quite the reverse.

It was okay for us before but the new version isn't! Uninstall and try MSSE. Sorry if that doesn't answer your question exactly!

I have come across a problem with avast this morning. Avast up-dated and immediately reported that one of my outlook add-ons is a threat. I tried to reinstall the program but the threat message keeps coming up. I tried to remove avast but it won't go. I have had to remove the add-on for now, I think it's just the avast up-date, it may correct itself later. We tried to find out where to allow the program as a safe item but it's hidden. I have reported the problem to avast and to sperrysoft.
