It wasn't displayed in a window, just plain text on the desktop, hardly noticeable. It disappeared when I restarted the machine.

That will be Windows Build 1701

That looks like it. How did you know?

I found a possible fix for the Avast problem from another forum. You turn off AV warning notices via the action centre before shutting down and then reboot and turn them back on again. It seems to have worked so far.

Because it's the same for all public copies of Windows 7?

Re: Windows 7 Update Problems

Oh wonder why came up with nothing when I did a search for the number then? Found references to Windows builds 7600 and 7601.

Anyway for now all seems to be working just fine. Famous last words... :)
