Hi there everyone!

This post isn't about updates,but how I didn't find the right discussion to
post it,I wrote here.

My windows has the antivirus avast but today when I turned the machine on,I
received a message from avast that said my computer was completely in danger
because the antivirus was uninstalled!I don't really know the reason,but I
don't know what to do..maybe I should call the man that set my pc but
meanwhile,am I really in danger with no antivirus? How did the antivirus
expired??

You might get more help if you ask your question in the Avast forum:

Hi there,

Antivirus programs on a new bought computer are mostly trials so they
expire. If you buy a retail version you will also have to renew subscription
each year and for real money

If you want a free antivirus solution download AVG antivirus free version,
just google for AVG it is simple to find.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

I forgot to mention that "Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1169" is a free program.
Google will be able guide you to find a sight if you wish to download the
program.

You have been infected. Run a few online AV and Malware programs like AdAware and Spybot and Super ANTISPYWARE

An uninstalled software can't talk -- i.e. if avast! were really
uninstalled it wouldn't be alerting you in anyway. I think your
computer is affected by some sort of worm or similar malware. If I
were you, I'd do a thorough scan of the computer with a good, strong
antivirus. There are dozens out there but it's basically up to you to
pick one.

Read my reviews on http://avscan.blogspot.com. That should give you a
clear idea. And yes, I have tested all of them.
Best of luck!
