Hello, I'm new to this forum, and even as I type this, my Avast V goes to unsecured....arrrrgh!!! I've tried all the suggestions posted here with no success. I'm running XP Pro and have all the updates from Microsoft. It looks like the best solution is to go back to the previous version which never gave me any trouble. Too bad, I like the new look and features. It's a real pain having to constantly monitor something that's supposed to be worry free. If I find a solution later, I'll post it, but I'm not too hopeful.
