Version 6
« on: February 26, 2012, 05:38:54 PM »
I realize everyone is rather busy at the moment here, but will those who wish to carry on using avast 6 be afforded some degree of protection for a while yet ?
I realize we won't get any definition updates, but being a humble pc user, I'm a little wary of updating to 7   :)

Tony,

Avast 6 should be receiving definition updates... in fact, the same ones as are provided for avast 7.   At present, my avast6 has 12-02-26-2 loaded.

Without definition updates, an antivirus would become worthless very quickly.
Lenovo T530 laptop, Intel Core i5-3320M @ 2.60 GHz, 8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro SP1 (64-bit), avast! 17 Free, MBAM3 Pro, Windows Firewall, MVPS HOSTS file, OpenDNS Family Shield, Zemana AntiLogger Free, SpywareBlaster, IE11 & Firefox [both using WOT (IE set to WARN, FF set to BLOCK)], WinPatrol PLUS, uBlock Origin, MBAE, MCShield, CryptoPrevent, SAS (on-demand scanner). 
[I believe computer-users who sandbox (Sandboxie) are acting prudently.]
