hmm, i am not able to reproduce it.
I tryed again twice with problems though, first time avast! itself froze and the advanced interface went all white, i had to termanate the process to close it, but then i couldn't open any application on my pc, all that happened was a box saying there is not enough avalible memory.
And the only way to restart my pc was to press ALT + CTRL + DEL x2.
Then when it started back up i tryed it again and it seems to close the box fine, but then the advanced interface box keeped "jumping" so to speak for the next couple of seconds.
Then al was fine.
I did not try again.
So is this a problem with WIN98SE then, is it fixable.
