Next thing I knew 5.0594 would not apply the virus definitions update. Gave me a big red error message
So I thought. This is no good if it is not updating the virus definitions
So I decided to try and reinstall 5.0594 and low and behold the program asked me if I wanted to uninstall it.
I said what the heck and did
Then I installed 5.0656. It installed fine except
I had to do the entire setup of custom scans etc all over again.
Then I checked the Real-Time Shield section and guess what. No Process Virtualization option
So I thought to myself maybe I should try and install 5.0656 on my Windows 7 desktop computer and see what happens
Installed in nothing flat no problem
However the "Process Virtualization" Real-Time Shield option showed up.
I did the same on my Windows 7 Netbook and viola PV also showed up there.
So I figured getting 2 out of 3 ain't too bad considering the one I didn't get was my XP computer.
Maybe, just maybe that the no PV on the XP upgrade to 5.0656 was the reason that I got the initial error message of missing components when I tried to install 5.0656 right over 5.0594 on my XP computer.
Did Avast lock out the Process Virtualization feature on XP computers intentionally until some problems like the lack of sound in the Sandbox can be fixed?
