Avast 4.8 Home and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

[Nehrist]

Hi.
I installed Avast 4.8 Home edition on my daughter's laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium) and everything looks good, at least so far.
Also I installed Avast 4.8 Home edition on my PC (Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit) and I don't see "I" icon (for VRDB).
I tried to "repair" installation of Avast, it didn't help. Then I uninstalled and installed Avast again.
The pop-up balloon about VRDB appears, and as soon I clicked on it, "I" icon dissapears. There are also no submenu in pop-up menu from "a" icon.

Why there are different behaviour on those two platforms, and what could be wrong with my installation?

Will anyone (preferably - from tech-support) give any explanation?

Well... more few days and VRDB will be dropped completely in version 5 of avast. It's an obsolete technology.
I won't worry about it.
But, if I can guess, maybe the icons are merged. Do you have a VRDB menu on the 'a' blue icon?

[Nehrist]

No, that's the point, I didn't merge them, and there are no VRDB submenu in pop-up menu from the "a" icon.
But with upgrading to version 5 it will not be relevant anymore.
However, it shows that at least version 4.8 not fully compatible with Windows 7.

avast! V4.8 is compatable with Windows 7 as I used it untill I decided to try V5 that is running very well.

Read about avast! when they went to Microsoft campus in Redmond, WA

“Compatible with Windows 7″ logo for avast (so far, the logo has only been given to avast 4.8

After updating Avast the issue has been resolved.
