And for those of you who use Avast anti-virus, v5 is out. And no your v4.8 won't auto update to v5, you have to do that yourself.

That is because v5 is not an update, it is an upgrade.

Nothing except that in a way Avast started this thread and there are people here that use it.
And besides, when did you become a forum moderator? Oh you aren't? Then STFU!

True, however v4.8 doesn't telly you that an upgrade is available. I would still not know that v5 was out had I not visited their web site.

You try and hijack the thread and then you needlessly flame the first person who has the balls to say something about your screw up. Simply Amazing.

ok let me get somethings straight right now..
1. I don't need to be a forum moderator to point out things that i see are trying to change the plot of the thread from what it originally started as .. simply because Avast is a pirate word.. and that even the first post might have been a spam too.. that others may have inadvertantly replyed to the topic there of.. which has nothing to do with the antivirus software but " talk like a Pirate Day"
2. If i was a moderator your reply about the antivirus program would have been deleted and you would have gotten a private warning
3. this IS a Purebasuc forum.. not an antivirus support forum..
4. I am just a member here like you and most others.. when i see something i think is wrong i say I think its wrong..
5. I didn't mean to sart an argument or get under anyones skin.. or anything like that.
6. I just wanted to keep this thread on the funnt side about talking like a pirate which is what the topic title is..

Come on, people. This forum is about the art of coding, not the art of flaming. (I wonder if there's a forum dedicated to that...)
