I have updated the programme, we`ll see if that sorts the problem.
The question just remains, I don`t appear to have AVAST Pro despite paying for it. What is the difference between AVAST Pro and AVAST Internet Security ? Is the programme I have just the free one ? But if that`s so why do AVAST keep telling me I can use it on a third PC ?

Thanks for that. It`s a bit unfortunate that none of the stuff on any of them is actually of much use to us ! That smart scan would be if it really made your PC faster. However, I`m a bit cynical about all that clean up software, it`s never made any significant difference on any PC I`ve owned, XP or Windows 7.

As to our fault, we installed the latest AVAST programme but still had the same problem with TNT Express Shipper. That`s despite the fact that "Connect VPN dialling utility" (used  by Express Shipper to send the data to TNT H/O) is on the list of "Allowed Apps" on the Firewall list. Yet, if we turn off the Firewall Express Shipper works ! ? !

Another alternative is to remove avast firewall and use win firewall

Thanks for this, I switched off the Avast firewall, whilst ensuring the Windows Firewall is on, and TNT Express Shipper just worked !

Premier is a disaster. No help. Conflicting reports on what protection is/isn't turned on. Seems like Avast only wants to sell more services. I wish they were concerned with the products already purchased.
