Thank you for replying. I'll try downloading a new installation file & do an uninstall & fresh install. I think you have explained it. I just recently put together a new system & had just installed the Avast file I had saved previously & figured that it would just update itself once I got online with it. The file probably did indeed date from about mid 2006. I need to get rid of the old downloaded program files I save that have been superceded. I'll let you know what happens.

If your setup is too old, it's better to get the last version setup and install it from the scratch.

It works just like it is supposed to. Thanks much for your expertise. I shouldn't have assumed the program file would update itself. That's what I get for using a saved install file instead of downloading a new 13 Meg file. If I could go back a few days, that would be a no-brainer. You have a sharp eye to have noticed the older previous version. Most like me would just check the current version. Again, thank you.

Well... avast DOES update itself if you set so. You can use automatic updates for both (or just one) program and virus databases.
