I helped myself with Everest, thank you all for the suggestions. But I will not buy any more RAM, it's not as cheap as I tought.

Anyway, AvastSvc.exe was over 60.000K for some hours and now I rebooted my PC and it's about 20.000K. I haven't been doing anything special today, so it that normal?

A two gig stick of ram should only cost about $20us.

Bellzemos's system may not support large capacity RAM sticks, and they may be considerable more expensive where he is, the US is much more competitive. But a smaller stick should hopefully be supported and cheaper.

@ Bellzemos
Use the likes of crucial to find out what RAM you need for your system, and then go hunting on ebay, etc. for a better deal, even with carriage it is likely to be cheaper than a local retail shop.

 :( I'm guessing this is what I just installed and was asked to restart my PC....Well my PC will not come up now.
I've been trying to recover with no luck...I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. When trying to do a system recover or startup repair, I received error code =0x490....HELP!

Try to start you CPU in safe mode and then uninstall avast from add remove program's to get you cpu working again then we can discuss what you previously had on your cpu prior to your install of avast. It is also better to start a new topic for yourself so other people will notice and be able to help.

EVEREST says that about my RAM:

System Memory ....... 1024 MB  (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)

DIMM1: A-Data DNGC1A16 ....... 1 GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM  (3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz)  (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz)

So, that means that I have... 1 GB of RAM installed in the first DIMM slot? Do I have to buy the same brand (A-Data) in order to make it work flawless? So, it's DDR, not DDR2 or 3. Is it SDRAM, what is this? Is it 200MHz or 166MHz? If you can explain that to me so that I can go hunting for an additional GB of memory... Thank you! :)

PS: Is it wise to buy a used module?

Generally you don't have to buy the same brand, possibly the only thing to consider is not buying generic (unbranded) RAM.

This is where you have to be careful, your old system is likely to be DDR not DDR2, which is why I suggested visiting crucial as they have a tool to identify what RAM and motherboard bus speed are in your system, from that information suggest compatible RAM for it. Mind you possibly the most important bit is the PC3200 as you could essentially just do a search on that 1gb PC3200 so providing that is in your search string you shouldn't go wrong.

Once armed with that information then you can go shopping for RAM of that specification of any of the major brand names, crucial being one top brand, Kingston and Corsair are more value brands but still up to the task.

These (3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz)  (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) represent timings if the RAM is used at either 200 or 166 MHz, it isn't really anything to be concerned with if your mother board was only 333 MHz then the RAM would be running at 166 MHz.

See this example search of froogle (google shopping), this is localised for the UK, there may be one for Europe or Slovenia, http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=1GB+PC3200+DDR+SDRAM, this is an ordinary google search, http://www.google.com/search?q=1GB+PC3200+DDR+SDRAM.

Used RAM can represent good value, but you have no warranty so it could work out an expensive bargain.

Is there an alternative link available to download version 5.0.677 directly from Avast's website?  We don't allow HTTP access via our firewall to hosting sites such as CNet.

Thanks

You don't say what version it is yo are interested in downloading avast Pro (business user?) or the Internet Security suite (possibly not if your using a firewall) ?

Pro please and thank you... I can find the 4.8 version on Avast's website, but not the current 5.0.
