1. At every start-up I get a pop-up which says:
>> Standard Shield detected suspicious operation : write file : avast/setup/setiface.dll : yes // no // ignore <<
You've changed the Behavior Blocker. As you seem cannot change back to the default values, you can, uninstall avast and install again.
->Ok but where do I find the “Behavior Blocker” – I have re-installed already with no change.

2. I cannot change any of the settings in "settings"
Why? What's the error message?
->no error message – whatever changes are made to those in “Common” don’t stay changed but change back following closure. I believe the other setting are ‘changeable’ but I’ve not tried them all as I don’t want to upset anything.

3. The user interfaces hang on the screen for some minutes after attempting to close them, either before or after scanning.
How many seconds does this freeze take?
Did you have any other antivirus in the past?
->45 seconds ish – “On Access Scanner” screen closes immediately, only the main screen takes many seconds to close.
->no other AV progs ever installed on this M/c, only ever used Avast
->Re. stevejm29 - Internet working OK –
Running:
Avast 4.7 home ed (4.7.871)
Kerio Firewall 2.1.5
Adaware SE 1.06r1
Spyware Blaster 3.5.1
Spybot S&D 1.3
All up-to-date

It is more likely that it was the update from 4.7.844 to 4.7.869 that may (yet to be confirmed) have caused this problem for some win98 users.
->how do I check this out? I assume I've overwritten the 'old' files
