RejZor is just trying to help you, he didn't mean anything wrong by saying that. It's an avast! not avatar. Avatars are those little pictures under our forum nicknames, avast! is an antivirus.
It was obvious typo from RejZor's side, take a look how many typos you have had in your initial post:

Problems with Wolfenstein ET:
Have had "connection interupted" problems with internet multi-player Wolfenstien Enemy Territory as soon as I downloaded and began using Avatar Home edition. No problems at all before.
Have tried turning off Avast (standard shield, network shield, etc.), still, same problem.
Is there some secret way of turning Avast off, without having to swith off its components individually?
Should I have stayed with McCafee.
Any help with these problems, "connection interupted" and component swithoffs ?
Thanks,

So lets' stay on topic and try to answer your question... as RejZor advised you, try to completely uninstall avast!, reboot, and then reinstall it from the scratch. Are you sure you properly uninstalled Mcafee in the first place ?
