I installed the new version of home edition avast. I rebooted and now when I try to get on the internet my PC cannot, it begins to open but 10 minutes later it is still attempting. The only way I could get to this forum was to turn off avast to get on the internet to email for help! How unsafe is this! I hve windows XP, Dell intell, and cable hookup to the internet, but that is as far as a techy I can be. Please speak in non-tech when responding.. Thanks, wgacr
