I have been using Avast 4 Professional for the free trial period without any problems.  I have now taken out a subscription and installed the permanent version according to instructions.  When I tried to access the Net via Mozilla Firefox, I got no response at all: it simply wouldn't open.  When I used Internet Explorer, I got access to some sites, but not to my email.  When I opened Internet Explorer, a box appeared saying 'Avast Professional Script Blocker'.  When I closed the connection, another box appeared saying there had been an error and the connection would close.  In the case of my email, this box appeared before I could access my messages.

I have tried going into the Avast menu and clicking on 'Suspend service', then on 'Script blockage'.  I still cannot use Mozilla Firefox.  With Internet Explorer I do now have access to emails, but when I close the connection to emails or to other sites, I still get the error box, so things are not yet right even there.  Also I suspect that the suspension of script blockage may have removed the very protection I have paid for.  Can you please advise me what to do?

Sorry, but the splash screen is cosmetic the underlying provider would still be running, so I don't see how that could fix anything.

Splash screen might be cosmetic but switching it off fixes my problem 100%
Maybe a timing related issue ?
