Thanks Paul! Will bear all of that in mind. Have a good week.

Its just that when you go to install the new version, even from the link I have given you below you will still be prompted to install the Google Chrome browser which you should not. http://download853.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free_eng.exe Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tony sweeney Sent: 10 October 2010 19:39 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Avast Hi Paul, Well I didn't install it at the time so maybe it won't prompt me again re that version anyway! Do you have the link to download the latest version? Thanks, Tony Sweeney ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Traynor (NCBI) <mailto:paul.traynor@xxxxxxx> To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2010 6:19 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: Avast Hi Tony, You are being prompted to update to the new Avast 5. You should do this but with just a word of caution. When the installation of the new update begins, you will be asked in a multiple choice question if you wish to use "Express installation with the Chrome browser" or use "Express installation without the Chrome Browser", I recommend that you do not install the Chrome browser as it can cause other problems down the road. Just use the tab key to come to this list of options and down arrow to the Express installation without chrome. Once you have chosen this, go to next or install and it will begin the installation. By the way it's a female voice now on Avast.

Is it necessary to do that? While I'm on, I don't hear that voice telling me that Avast is installed anymore but it did in the early stages of my current Avast. It now says by Jaws, Avast information. I'm quite sure though that the programme is doing it's job but any thoughts on the latest of what to do?
