what security program did you use before installing avast?
did you remove it before installing avast?
did you run the vendors removal tool to clear any leftover files that may conflict?

hi,

I did re-install Avast Internet Security to re-installed win7, so, on 'clean machine'.

try avast repair

contolpanel > ad remove programs > avast > uninstall > repair option > wait a couple of minutes and reboot

what do you mean by dead?
any avast error messages?
when you open avast ...do you have all green...like first screenshot here?

If it's a freshly installed OS are you sure Microsoft Security Essentials was not installed when performing all the windows updates?

AIS firewall is silent, after the initial question about the ntwork type I doubt if you will see it again

Is this what you are seeing ?

When you look at my one .. The picture is from when I did a windows 8 download so the usage will be quite high.   

This is my last week in total.. Are you showing nothing at all ?

Nothings at all - a Straight Line Only, since licence file install.
