I was prompted by Avast (4.8?) to upgrade as did so this evening. As a result a few minor problems have arisen and I'm hoping someone can help. I've attached pictures to try and illustrate my problems. I am currently running Win Vista (32bit)
Namely they are:
1) Windows Defender telling me I am running two virus programs
1.1) WD suggesting Avast is out of date
1.2) WD reporting that there are two versions/instances(?) of Avast

2) My taskbar shows that I am not connected to any wireless networks.

All help/advice greatly appreciated.

Pondus - my sincere thanks. :-* That seems to have fixed the problem. ;D
FYI to anyone else who encounters this problem, I uninstalled Avast through the control panel first before using the aswclear5 tool.
