"and install a better functioning firewall such as Outpost, Privatefirewall or Comodo, it's your choice though."
Thanks for this suggestion. I've used ZA for 10 years as my older brother suggested it (we're are both older generation and not very PC savvy). I really don't know much about how things on the PC work so I appreciate others opinions. I'm also new to this forum as I've never had a problem with Avast before. I thought I'd mention that to you especially, since I made the mistake of thinking you were an Avast support person when I replied to you in another thread. No hard feelings is my hope.
