AVAST Question......................?

[gorvid]

I am being tempted back to the virus riddled hell that is Limewire....

However...I have AVAST, but when I download tunes it doesn't appear to have scanned them..
I cant seem to set it to doe this, or even manually do it...

I'm having a slow day her
Any helpers?

Not quite what you want to hear, but personally I would bin Avast and try the free copy of AVG

AVG...?
Better you think.....?

I delved into Avast when I was running pure 64bit XP, as it was the only one I could find which actually worked as a 64bit app. I quite liked it but it does seem to use a lot of system resources (running in the background).

I am somewhat biased as I am a reseller for AVG, but I have the free edition on every machine I own, and in all honesty I have never had a problem with virii or trojans.

My best advice is try the free one, and do a complete scan and see what it finds

I'll give it a go.....

Not sure but double click the 'A' icon on your task bar, select P2P shield, and ensure Limewire is ticked.

FWIW I've used Avast for around 4 years now with no issues. AVG ground my system to a halt.

Yeah, junk it for something better.

I got a virus a few weeks ago which Avast didn't pick up. It was an old one too which was even more annoying. AVG soon fixed that.
