Avast

[jennyjoan]

Well earlier this morning tried to download Avast but per usual the older antivirus wouldn't go away just saying it had expired etc (can't remember the bloody name of it). I didn't seem to be getting anywhere with the Avast so switched it off now I am back on but if I have been successful with it where would I find it. Top right corner nothing to indicate - anywhere else to look . Thanks


PS - As I am typing this McAfee (that's the one keeps popping up saying you are now expired and I have difficulty getting rid of it.

well guys thanks that for that = got Mc Afee removed. What next

When I download Avast or Baldric do you recommend AVG - it just confuses you a little bit.

When you think you have downloaded the the thing it comes back - please download - - I will wait on your answer and then try again.

JJ, you could also read through the First 'Related Question' below!

[Baldric]
