Rich,

I didn't say I didn't like it. I said there was a minor irritant that I was willing 
to tolerare.

Yes, I know I could do manual updates, however, I'd rather not have to remember to 
do it. SOOOO, I put up with updates that sometimes come up, without notice, at inoportune 
times.

Small price to pay to remain updated on a continuous basis. It would be nice if Avast 
could announce the update and allow a pause to a more oportune time.

BW

I use Avast on all my machines Win98SE and XP PRO.
