Ya know, I am very proactive using the Firewall function. There were alot of glitchy things happening for a couple of days after I installed Avast 9.0.2006. No crashes, just freeze screens and firewall notification. I use TCIPUTILS in my Chrome browser, and I found, to my delight, that it will analyze traces I do in the network places function of the firewall. Found a spammer piggybacking in the Avast.UI, and the right click choices gave me the option of killing the address. I did. End of problems. All of them. Every one. You gotta take the step of digging into the true functionality of this program. A gem. I think that this member, and I know this is an uninformed opinion
may have a hierarchical glitch in user accounts, if windows. Or, run ipconfig, if not.
