Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.

Thanks for that suggestion. It gave me this error message:
'Avast! A setiface error has occurred  2.
Try to reinstall or contact support.'

So I'll try to reinstall and will let you know what happens.!
Cheers

I suggest an installation from the scratch:

1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
2. Boot.
3. Use Avast Uninstall (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-uninstall-utility.html) for complete uninstallation.
4. Boot.
5. Install again the last version.
6. Boot.
7. Check and post the results.

Trouble is, I can't uninstall from the control panel as it freezes, so will try from Avast uninstall first.
Will report. Thanks for your help!

Do you have any other antivirus program in this computer? Had in the past?

Way, way back in the distant past! :) Panda - but ditched that as it gave too many problems. Always liked Avast and kept coming back to it.
Trying reinstall but have to download the program again....

more later.
