I want to ask, is version 6 still supported? I don't feel like updating same way on my netbook, not yet.

Yes it is, but I don't see a problem in updating on your netbook, I updated from the avastUI (6.0.1367) on my win7 (32bit Starter) netbook and no issues.

Your choice though.

I have netbook with XP Home edition.

In theory that should be better as XP is less resource heavy on RAM if you only have 1GB, leaving more for application use. The resource use of

I upgraded my Acer Aspire One to 2GB as soon as I got it as I didn't feel 1GB was enough for win7 (even the starter version).

For W7 you should at least have a minimum of 4GB of DDR Ram no less

A Windows 7 32 or 64 bit runs fast on a 2 GB memory. Tested.

A Windows 7 is sluggish on a 32 bit 1 GB memory . Tested.

A 4 GB memory is mostly a trending because of cheap ram nowadays, hardware is evolving and  64 bit OS is beginning to be fully supported most software.

2Gb is fine for a 32bit system but as 64bit systems actually in itself use more ram then 4Gb is prefered and benificial.

The problem being most netbooks have only one RAM slot, so you are replacing the original RAM and when I got mine 2GB was the largest SODIM chip available. "GB is just fine on win7 32bit.

почему выскакивает сообщение после обновления аваста до 7й версии, что типа антивирус обновлён нажмите "готово", каждый раз после включения системы

google translate: "why the message pops up after you upgrade to the 7th version of Avast that type of anti-virus is updated, click "done" every time you turn on the system"

Ever since I upgraded to Avast 7, it takes a minute or two for my shields to turn on after starting up, it takes so long that some of my other programs, pidgin on autostart if it matters, starts before the shields are up, I doubt this is an issue, but should I be worried about this?

I waited for the pop-up annoucing the update to Avast 7 Final, then updated from Avast Free 6.0.1367 to Avast Free 7.0.1407 last night.  I let the system reboot when updater requested.  After reboot, everything came up fine.  I've done some file scans via right click in Windows Explorer, and then a Quick scan. 

Beautiful piece of work, Avast Team.  It's flawless for me.

The VPS had updated while still on 6.0.1367, and I hadn't seen any vps updates since although the streaming update did create a folder with the then current 12022301.  Just a short while ago, I did a manual VPS update to 12022400.  I do wish that http://www.avast.com/virus-update-history was kept up to date as not knowing if there was a vps update available made me wonder if I was having update problems with Avast 7.  I also noticed that others were asking about vps updates today.  The latest showing on the site is 120222-0.

Edit: added latest.

After the unsolicited upgrade from Avast! 6 to 7 this morning,

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93866.msg748165#msg748165

it seems that File System Shield is stuck analyzing;

 C:\Program files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\HPQSTE08.EXE

Every time I open File system shield HPQSTE08.EXE is the last file Avast! scanned. Also the amount of files scanned has tripled from yesterday. See screenshots.
