I also installed mwb adaware as you suggested. So far no blocks on any sites.

Then is MBAM maybe too much aggresive when it comes to advertising services.

The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.
Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
Remove disinfection tools
Create registry backup
Purge System Restore

Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

I just received some input from Mwb techs. They suggest I do a mbclean thing and reinstall mwb3.1. So far all seems ok. Nothing came up in terms of blocks after install and web browsing. I posted results of mbclean to their site - am awaiting response from them. I will do the delfix thing depending on what they say.  I agree - I think they are very aggressive regarding ad stuff. There's just so much stuff going on -everything becomes suspect.

 Of course, I still don't know what those 2 items that came thru with the Avast install are all about. Hopefully all will be cleared up. Thanks very much for your help.
