     Sending messages in Windows and via Internet:
     It is not necessary to run extra programs for messaging in Windows NT.
     Message recipient must have WINPOPUP program running in Windows 95.

     What is Service Pack?
     Service pack is short installation in case you have already
     installed previous version. Service Pack keeps your settings,
     full install sets everything with default values. To install Service Pack run
     INSTALL.BAT file and follow the on-screen instructions. Within the installation
     program choose Service pack (changes only) in installation type selection.
     
     What is the Acrobat?
     Adobe Acrobat is the document viewer. You can find it on our CD in
     the ACROWIN directory. The installation file is called
     AR32E30.EXE. You can install it either before or after the AVAST32
     installation. Never install both products in the same time!

     I don't know how to run resident scanner.
     Switch to enhanced UI. Right-click on Resident: full protection
     configuration, select Modify and check Run with the operating
     system box. Then restart computer. New AVAST32 version enables
     resident protection automatically after its installation
     
     When resident scanner is running, it is not possible to print or fax
     This bug has been fixed. Please install new version.
     
     I can't remove macroviruses. Only resident control finds them.
     You need to install new version where scanner has bigger priority
     than resident protection.
     
     After finding a virus and restarting the computer there is some
     strange window that can't be closed.
     Uncheck Show Virus Warning on user log oncheck box and restart the computer
     This can be set up from menu Customize/Enhanced Settings in older version
     and menuOptions/Common/Basic in new version.
     
     When I right click shortcut and run Avast check, the program will
     fail
     You need new version or you can rename AVSHEX.DLL to prevent this
     failure but you will not be able to scan files via right mouse
     click.
     
     I don't know how to switch from enhanced UI back to simple UI.
     Right-click in Customize and select Simple GUI.
     
     The message about missing export in MFC42.DLL appears.
     Some installation overwrote MFC42.DLL file with older version. You can
     try to rename MFC42.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL and install AVAST32 again.
     
     The message containing  [FFFFFFFF] appears.
     The reason is currently unknown.
     
     When resident protection is running in Windows NT computer freezes
     into blue screen.
     You need to install new version of AVAST32.
     
     It is not possible to enter the serial number during the
     installation process.
     Do not enter any number and finish installation as DEMO version and then
     Run AVAST and enter the correct serial number in Settings / License box.
     This can be set up from menu  Settings / License box in older version
     and menu Options/ License  in new version.
     (There is a new serial number since September so contact your
     vendor to get new number)
     
     Avast!:
     
     LGUARD scanner in  DOS shows message about insufficient memory.
     Youn need to install new version of AVAST which has less memory
     requirements. You can also try to run LGUARD from command line and
     not from AVAST shell.
     
     Incorrect serial number is displayed during the installation. When scanner
     is running during the installation it is displayed that it is only a DEMO
     although the serial number has been accepted.
     The correct serial number will be shown when AVAST is started from
     hard disk so after successful installation.
