After starting my XP computer, using Avast Free Antivirus, when I try to start a browser like Firefox or Chrome, it takes FOREVER for the browser to load -- a least a minute or two. During this time, the Avast logo is alternately spinning and still in the tray. Once the browser finally starts, it won't go to a URL or let me search for another minute or two. What is it doing all this time? And why is it preventing the browser from starting? Thanks.
