Are you by chance running your browsers under Online Armors "run safer" mode?

Try a repair. Control Panel>Uninstall>double click  "avast">click "repair">reboot.  :)

hi Para-Noid. yes, webrep and phishing enabled. toolbar and bho enabled in IE. have double and triple checked all srttings in avast and IE.
web rep tool working fine on all web pages incl. search engines, just not in search results. not really big deal as i am using WOT, buy i hate it when things don't work right. was planning on buying pro version in couple months when i can afford it.
may need to rethink that.

have A GOOD DAY!!
