Hi,
I read that Avast Virus Cleaner is a standalone (free downloadable) version and yet it is also integrated (built into) Avast. Does this mean it is built into Avast! 4 Home Edition or does it mean it is built into the payable version (Avast! 4 Home Professional)? I don't know how to tell if Avast Virus Cleaner is integrated with the free Avast version (Home Edition).
It would appear to be in the pro version. From the help files
"Starting avast! Virus Cleaner
From the Enhanced User Interface, select File ® Start avast! Virus Cleaner.
From the "A Virus Was Found" window, using the button "Completely remove the virus from the system".
Run the stand-alone application downloaded from the ALWIL Software pages. In this case, make sure you have disabled any resident antivirus protection before starting the tool! "
Also, in about Avast where the registration key code is, it says: updates expire June 2008. Thats 3 months after I inserted the key code registration. Above that it says: expiration never. My question is, when the updates expire, wouldn't it mean that it won't be worth using the Avast Anti-Virus anymore? Isn't updates extremely important?
Actually, that's 15 months from now. The " never" is the program itself. Once your key expires, just reregister.
