My first post on the Avast forum
. Have been using Avast for years now, and very happy with it. Would like to thanks the Avast team. The new Avast 5 looks good, and working really well. Congratulations for that

I upgraded to version 5.0.418 via the program update, and all went well.
I just faced a problem though. After the completion of update, and restart of computer... when I right-clicked on Avast tray icon, and clicked "About Avast", the program crashed, and exited. I had to restart Avast then.
This had happened the last time too, when I had upgraded to version 5.0.396 via program update. Although, after this problem, I did not had any other problem. But, I am curious as to why this happens. It may be a bug or something?
I would also like to say that with version 5.0.377, I had faced some minor problems.
I use FreeCommander, and sometimes when I used to open any folder with it, or tried to access a file, or open a file... the computer would lag for quite a while, before I was able to open the folder/file.
Also, I experienced a considerable lag while using webcam with Yahoo, and Meebo.... on Meebo the problem was more.
These problems went away after upgrading to 5.0.396 though. The webcam lag still remains a bit, but not as much as before.
I have one more suggestion, or rather complaint... can the Avast setup be hosted on another site other than Download.com? They are very slow to upload the new versions... 4-5 days. That's not good at all. There are other sites, which update to the new version very fast. Can Avast host the setup on their own servers, like before?
