Foxit Reader 5.0(.1.0523)
Change log and download: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/products/reader/upgrade.php

After a very long stint with Foxit PDF reader, I have now abandoned it. It has gone over to the dark said with the ASK toolbar business, there is no way to uncheck the ASK toolbar and Search, etc. and continue with the installation.

Despite unchecking both ASK options, there is a text notice (the small print which I didn't twig first time round) stating that by clicking the Next button you are agreeing to the ASK cr*p. So it got installed despite my not wanting it.

So it has been uninstalled completely on both my systems, looking for another non-bloated, simple freeware PDF reader (don't bother with Adobe, that was why I was on Foxit). Giving PDF-Xchange 4.0 Lite (and the Viewer), which to me doesn't appear too lite.

Re the PC Tools Firewall update -- this may be a little out of place in this thread, and if so, my apologies.

In the free version, does "Smart Update" no longer work properly?  I've been trying it since that first posting about the update, but it keeps insisting that my 7.0.0.111 is current.  I don't really wanna do a full fresh install if I can avoid it.
Just a little out of place, its the wrong forum  ::)

Posted 2 days ago, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=9671.msg650021#msg650021, its hard to be first.

No need to post the contents of the change log, those who are interested in ccleaner (e.g. those who have it installed) will check it out from the site/program.

Your problem isn't general, this topic is specifically for program updates, any avast related problems should go in the avast! Free/Pro/Suite forum and click the New Topic button at the top of that page.
