Hi i ran the above but taking along time (15 hours) and still has not finished.

It is showing "Local version 6.0.210.7"
                      "New version 6.0.390.4"

Is this a big file?

Is there a direct link to this specific version?

Thanks in advance

I use Avast but I HATE their new software updater.

Go to add/remove programs and click uninstall/change on avast.

When it opens choose change and go and remove anything you dont want from it, including the software updater lol

For me I only have 2 scanners installed with avast, file system shield and behavior shield. Everything else is unchecked. I still get the protection and avast doesn't hit my system no where near as much now.

Thanks Shane

Should i still update Java Runtime Environment directly maybe?

It is showing "Local version 6.0.210.7"
                      "New version 6.0.390.4"

File System Shield and Behavior Shield and Free Malwarebytes be enough protection?

Does the rest of the protection take up more resources?

Thanks again

Always keep java and flash up to date. They are how a lot of viruses get onto a system through websites.

Just go to java.com to get the newest version :-)
