Just a heads up to anyone using Avast free AV.

Avast upgraded to version 7 today.
After the upgrade, it wouldnt allow SWATH to run.

I replaced Avast, with AVG.
Then had to reinstall my copy of SWATH, and registration code.

Good stuff to know... I was using Win XP with AVG Free and was very satsfied. Wanted to go out and buy a faster Rig and wanted to get Windows 7. Ended up upgrading my current laptop from 2Gigs to 4 Gigs of RAM and then bought the Windows 7 (Ultimate) Edition. Was so happy with 7 that i wanted to check out the security it came with and was pleasantly surprised.. the "Security Essentials" pack it come with is very efficient. Decided that I didnt need to search for another program to handle the Security with "7", does a pretty good job on its own!

As an alternative, 'COMODO Internet Security' (the free one), seem to work well.

COMODOIt works great, and operates most efficiently. I would highly recommend using it to my BFF. My Computer has yet to catch a Virus or get Violated by an Intruder!! Goto COMODO.com and try it today!!
Dear COMODO, please make cheque payable to CA$H
