how do I shut off Avast?

[REDACTED]

I'm on dial-up and downloading takes forever.

Will the latest AVAST version STOP is crazy AVAST SERVICE downloading? I doubt it.

And when I shut off shields (which I more or less discovered myself), I discovered that it shuts off AVAST.

So far my original question/concern has not been addressed.

I may try Spybot's new virus program because AVAST is BLOGGING my Internet experience, and posting here asking for help is useless.

We told you several times how/where you can disable the shields.

Download the complete version in a place where they have a faster connection, put it on a usb stick, cd, dvd or whatever you want and install it on your own system.

It sure has, but we can't help it if your reading fails.

Obviously posting here is a waste of time.
Firstly, with the Avast Service running updating will take several hours unless my connection fails. Secondly, my computer has a problem with it's 2 floppy drives.

1)
A real waste of time is trying to help you since you don't seem to read and follow instructions.

2)
We can't help it that you are on dial-up. That is your own choice. Nothing we can do about it.

3)
We can't help it that you have problems with the floppy drives.
We even never mentioned using a floppy!

Thanks for your 3 red herrings.

Shutting off the shields does not stop "Avast Service" from continually uploading/downloading.

Thanks anyway.
