By the way, when the problems occur? Just after login or any time that an automated update is performed?

You say "after a few days"... can you post a link to your original thread, the one you've asked for help?

this is the original post.

that link does not cover my problem.

after i get on the net (dial up) the popup comes on when there's a update. recently a red popup saying it can't connect so i'm not getting the updates.

after having this problem for a few days i decided to uninstall avast and then reinstall. when i tried to uninstall it wouldn't. well it partially did..the 2 icons on the toolbar are gone but the files are still on my computer.

Any firewall in your system?
Is avast.setup allowed to connect and update?
