Not really.  :)  I done a repair of Avast as Eddy suggested but when I typed in msconfig, startup the Emupdater wasn't there., also didn't show up in Task Manager.

That emergency update was Web Shield update that was already applied so there is no need to run on every
Windows startup.You can find Avast emupdate in Task Scheduler.It checks for possible updates twice per day.

It isn't showing up in Task Scheduler.

You'll find Task Scheduler in Control Panel/System and Security/Administrative Tools.

Is this right?

Don't know why it's showing Windows Vista when I have Windows 7.  ???

I would go over to Kaspersky or Emsisoft.

Both are good.

If you want a free AV you can go to Panda Cloud Antivirus or AVG.

Emsisoft has good protection but slowdown and High RAM Usage(150+ MB sometimes
on my machine.

Kaspersky has good protection too, but more users and lower RAM Usage.
Place 1 in newest AV-Test results.

" When I do find one I like Avast is history"

I find it somewhat odd that after the above comment you start a new topic requesting the guidance/knowledge of forum members.
I have at times been amazed how tolerant these members have been with you and your questions which most often have very little to do with avast!

@ Steven

Find it questionable that you suggest other free AV's on the avast! forum.   :o

Not one to usually cast an opinion but feel something has to be said!!

I can only give her suggestions, if she changes is her choice.

And that we are in the Avast User Forum doesnt mean that we need to recommend Avast Antivirus.

I didn't start a new topic after the above comment.

"Very little to do with Avast"?  The Avast Emupdate most certainly does!
