Post by: teegee on January 12, 2005, 02:38:10 AM
I have Windows '98 and Eudora email.

This is the Avast forum,  not AVG.   Did you mean Avast?   If not,   go ahead and uninstall AVG
and download Avast and give it a try.   http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html You'll love it   :)

Hi Sasha, best to you too.  :)  I'm usually in here lurking at least a couple of times a day, but since I don't have an obsessive-compulsive thing about number of posts or "rating", you might not see me for a while unless there's something I feel I can actually contribute to.

Or, of course, like that last one, something that just begs for a comeback.  ;)

Do you think the author of this topic got avast! and solve this issue?

Maybe... maybe... it could be possible...  ;D

 ;D  ;D ;D My Avast! 4.6 Pro had a mutation: now the Sasha's skin is like the AVG interface and the windows are scrolling up and down and the blueballs are spinning all over the desktop! ;D ;D ;D

Sorry, but I don't resist: I've seen for the first time the first post of this thread ahahahah!!! "Is not the AVG forum!"... oh God...  ;D ;D ;D

Yes, and worst of all... he was so pissed off, and for nothing... avast! is not the guilty one... see here:

...
...
...
SO THEY CAN GET STUFFED I'VE HAD ENOUGH !
I am uninstalling it.
...
...
...

And that was his very first post in this forum. See the number of his posts... only one. That means, he never came into this forum to ask for help or to find an answer to his questions... but only, to say how AVG is bad antivirus... hahaha. Maybe he wanted to say avast!... but enough said... he didn't even take enough time to see what's the name of this antivirus... OMG  ::) If he spent little bit more time trying to configure his antivirus, he would make his Eudora work properly. There is nothing that would make Eudora stop working, especially not avast! He should just configure mail protection wizard properly... that's all...    :D

If he does come back, let us show him his first appearance to this forum.  ;)

Old curmudgeon suggests:

Perhaps there should be a separate forum for Sasha and clever friends to resurrect and make fun of old meaningless threads.

Perhaps they could take it to "off topic" and enjoy it forever.

Ouch, that hurts...  ;D If you don't like the way we are joking, why do you read this thread then ? We didn't insult anyone, it was funny how some people comes to these forums just for bashing avast! and they never ask for help...

I am here very long time, so I know how much of my spare time I and many others spent on trying to help others... so when someone comes to these forums just to bash and having nothing clever to say, it takes our precious time. Remember, we don't get anything for our help... and we don't ask for anything...

So, if we sometimes want to make jokes, we will do that... as long as we don't insult anyone, we are free to do that. Right ?

Cheers !

Chill man Chill re topic: why post if your not going to stick around for help if the poster hung in there

the problem would possibly no longer be a problem  8) it's all good

Sasha (and clever friends) ... you certainly have the right. 

Chill man chill ... hmm haven't heard that kind of comment since this old man was a lot younger ...

but ok I will.

alanrf - I'm sorry, I'm really sorry if I offended you or anyone else somehow. You know that wasn't my or anyone's intention... but sometimes, we really feel sad when people like that guy from the initial post in this thread, comes and never asks for help. Sure we could help him... easily. Someone is always here to jump in. His only intention was just to tell us how he is pissed off with this antivirus. Why ? Because of that little minor problem, that we even can not call a problem ? He should have just asked us, and someone would solve that in just one reply...

Cheers !

Old curmudgeon I think not after all you where right we are posting in the wrong topic I will be

more selective in the future

Sasha, you didn't offend me .. or I suspect anyone else.  I can (honestly) see the amusing side of this. 

Its not my intent to bring down a fun discussion, my thought was that it should not be up front in a place that is likely to make people who arrive here frustrated or even sometimes scared feel that they will be mocked.

I think that you and the other contributors to this forum provide outstanding help to the users of Avast encountering difficulties.  In that respect I have found it an oasis compared to many others and I hope it will remain welcoming to all (however wierd the problems they claim were caused by Avast - or even AVG).   

Just my 2 cents - I'm off to chill now.

Alan

No problem alanrf - yes, you are right... some new people that will come into these forums for help will be most likely desperate seeking for help.. and when they see this, maybe they will not understand immediately... so they can be affraid because all they see is making fun and not helping someone... of course, the truth is completely different, but they don't know that when they first come in here...

I'm glad we solved this one, and I'm sure it will clear everything a little bit...

Cheers !

EDIT: just like in this thread I started recently:

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=13531.0

When I have some problems with avast! I don't understand, I try to ask nicely... I'm sure I'll get some help. I didn't go and badmouth avast! right away... they also should do the same... just my humble opinion.  :-\

I think the guy who posted this may have been talking about avast.

I posted a topic about avasts load up time.

I still didn't get an answer, but if someone could check the thread (avast two minute load at startup!) that would be cool.

Don't waste anymore time talking about this guy. I need help! lol

Yes, you've got few answers in that thread... but you still haven't found a solution for that problem  ;D

I'll take a look, and I'm sure someone will find that solution for you at the end.

Cheers !
