Hi Avast 5 Free - Version.. 5.0.462 - to - 5.0.507 ... Not Good! Just updated my Laptop Vista Home Premium 32bit 4 GB RamIntel Core 2 DuoAvast 5 seems to be working OK But... Windows Security Centre Does NOT Recognise Avast 5 Is Installed :'(Won't be updating my Desktop just yet then Hally
it's just like that...to avoid overloading the servers. If everybody was warned at the same time, ie immediately after a new version was available, nobody could get it. From what I read it takes about a week or so until all Avast users get the message. It's just technically impossible to proceed differently due to the amount of users, and Avast isn't Microsoft (note that Windows Update servers are damned slow ...fortunately it's never more than a few megs a week )

Maybe a dumb question, but I have to ask it:Do you still need to register the free version of avast 5?I updated my 4.8 to 5.0.507 today. My old registration will expire in 10 days and I have not found any way to request a registration update on the web page (only for 4., nor any way to add new licence information. I only get a page in avast where my old registration is shown with the mark that it will end in 10 days.

I meant as a mirror, not as one server that can handle the full load. I thought that would have been obvious. Every mirror helps. But never mind...
