Hi kadenk,

First off, screenshot is nice but a bit more information is required... Hardware, software running etc.

But at a rough guess, you're running vista or win 7.

Looking at task manager, it's only showing your processes. At the bottom of the screen in Task manager, there should be a button that says 'Show processes from all users'.

Then under the SYSTEM (user) it should say something like 'AvastSvc.exe *32'.

That will confirm it's running.

regards, Gizbar
