Hi, sorry if this offens anyone, but I have moved this post and started a new thread as it seems to have been ignored at the end of the tread where I orginally posted it!
As it is the weekend, I have had more time to think about the Sygate + Avast problems and fully read the forums and spoken to a few friends about it. I now have more questions than awnsers, would anyone like to comment as your help and advice as usual, would be gratefully received!
1. From Viks previous posting:
Quote:
believe the problem lies in the fact that the program that is used to do the updates (avast.setup - this is really the name of the executable - no .exe extension) does NOT exist on the disk most of the time. It is temporarily flushed to the disk, launched and consequently deleted after it completes -- this happens with each and every update attempt.
Does this mean that we can expect a solution to this problem at the next Avast update?
2. Users who posted about problems this time do not appear to be the same people who had trouble at the last program update, does this mean that the solutions posted last time were correct and everyone who adopted them didn't have a problem? I'd be intrested to hear from any of the users who found the solutions worked!
3. Not everyone using Avast + Sygate experience problems with program updates. I am using Windows XP Home Edition with the latest patches, and this is the first time that I have had any problems, why? Looking at my setup compared with the last update, the only differences I can see are new Windows patches, and I have installed Spyguard version 2.2 and AnologX script defender 1.02, could either of these programs be the common cause?
I really like using both Sygate and Avast4, this time I took the quick solution and reinstalled Sygate which worked.... But I don't fancy having to do this at each program update.
I would be grateful for any advice or to just to hear your views on the above questions.
Many Thanks,
Beaky
