Avast & Windows 7
« on: March 10, 2011, 04:45:20 PM »
Hi,,I'm always a little hesitant to try anything new when it comes to computers,,especially when a newer version of a program I already have comes out,,in this case the new version of avast. I read in many cases that after installing people have problems with their computers that I, as a novice would probably have a hard time fixing on my own. I have windows 7,,has there been,,to anyones knowledge here,,any big problems with avast 6 and windows 7? Just to let you know,,in the past I've never had any problems updating to the newer versions (just a little nerveous doing it),,and I didn't even un-install the older version it was replacing and everything worked fine. I've read in a few threads that you should un-install the old version,,but like I said in my case that wasn't necessary,,thanks all from an old guy who computers still scare.

No problems here and I've probably upgraded at least 100 systems.
Many of them where Windows 7 including 5 of my own without any incidents. :)

I'm also using the version suggested by craigb.
