In order to enter my ISP chat room I have to disable Avast. As soon as I am in the room I can enable it again and it works fine. I run 4 providers Internet Mail, Network, Standard & Web Shield. I have tried pausing them but that doesn't work. Can anyone help me? I have XP sp2. I am new to Avast and computers so please explain simply. I am learning a lot on your forum. Thanks I hope this question is not a repeat. I checked search and found nothing.
