    you'd argue with a fence post wouldn't you? :nono3:

    ...

    anyway, i too can confirm that the popup does not come up after 3 boots from the first prompt to install the ask webguard toolbar. so you were right Daz :cool:

    Actually I might be arguing with a fence post :p...lol

    But really I'm one of those long term members that want's to post their experience just in case you've configured or installed avira improperly

    Sorry I'm not having problem you are...lol

    And I'm not Daz :yoda: hmm bad drug you might be smoking :shisha:

    To the herb side of the force you must come yes he he he

    and i wasn't calling you Daz,

    and there's no problem here only expressing an opinion, you apparently have the problem since you haven't encountered the prompt to install the web guard ask toolbar and you feel the need to have the last useless word--useless being the focal adjective of that statement...

    and yes @ this point you are arguing with a fence post because i'm done replying to your nonsense...

    try to invoke update on avira: right click on open umbrella icon in systray and choose start update. With new update you will see the power of ask ;)
    let the update be with you ... :rolleyes:

    ok. did you list your avira folder and compare with mine (previous post) ?
    if you have apn*.exe files you have instalation of ask toolbar. maybe some other security program (firewall spyware or other ?!) blocks installation.
    this was message from the dark side ... lol

    Avira: Configure->update->product update did you thick recommended option (auto update with auto restart ?)
    If you want toolbar (for test or curiosity) just start apntoolbarinstaller.exe with your levitation power :)

    you can't copy the force, you must feel it and use it :cool: lol
    good luck

    Write a little batch script to do this?

    I never minded the update popup since avira is the best for free ;)

    challenge ?
    Triology is nice batch job ...

    my speed answer is:

    I'm not tested it ... just type directly ...

    echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 > avira_10.reg
    echo.
    echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run]
    "avgnt"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Avira\\AntiVir Desktop\\avgnt.exe\" /min /ns" >> avira_10.reg
    echo.
    echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers\0\Paths\{a4eb1ded-a858-4081-a9e3-4679ac0f687f}] >> avira_10.reg
    echo "Description"="" >> avira_10.reg
    echo "SaferFlags"=dword:00000000 >> avira_10.reg
    echo "ItemData"="C:\\Program Files\\Avira\\AntiVir Desktop\\avnotify.exe" >> avira_10.reg
    start avira_10.reg

    I type dos commands since 1986 ;)
    explain:
    first redirection > is for generate a new file
    other >> ones are append to file
    echo. represent <CR> in file ...

    cheers

    reg file is tested and works fine
    batch file is not tested - it was just typed.
    I miss: replace echo. with echo. >> avira_10.reg
    It was late evening when I type it :(
    Now I must go to my job ... see you
