To clarify, I guess my eyes are not too good. The avast system tray icon comes up with a red circle with a line through it appearing on the lower left corner of the icon. It does go away if you wait. The message about no firewall comes up sometimes, but not all the time. As I said, I am not sure if this occurs just because of a small amount of memory, or if something is sneaking in there before avast can run. I'd appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks!
Carol
