Hi Vlk, thanks for the reply.
This is strange, the only thing I know to have changed on this machine is the Avast updates and it has gone from being crash hell to solid as a rock... which pleases me greatly. However, I'm of the disposition to like peace of mind and as it is I'm left wondering.
I assume Kubecj saw *something* in the file dates I posted in another thread, as he asked me to send the setup log... which I have done... twice. I asked a few times what the diagnosis was but don't seem to get a response (no critisism), so this leaves me wondering!.
I'm not asking so that I have something to complain about... I rate Avast the best AV... I would be a happy bunny if Kubecj said there WAS a problem with the updater/files/drivers... I'd then have peace of mind to re-load all of my OS and Avast again with the knowledge that a problem had been identified.
I actually think that I might have been loading Avast in between the two versions you mention, so some kind of confirmation/ acknowledgement of the setup log would be great.
Thanks again.
