That's great!

I turned them both off and started them again. When they start Avast's icon displays on the bottom with an exclamation mark inside a  triangle and then a  warning that computer is not protected because Windows firewall is disabled. They then enable themselves. This is true for both computers.

I am just wondering if this is normal.

Thanks again.

How long does it take for that to occur ?  As I sometimes find that my Avast will take two seconds or so to become fully active

Hi,
The desktop takes about 30-40 seconds. I's an old machine though..
The laptop takes about 15-20 seconds. There were times today where the Avast icon came on without a warning, like it was enabled quickly.
I don't understand why both have suddenly been giving warnings that windows firewall is disabled.

On the laptop while it was infected malware came up with Registry Data Items Infected:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify (Disabled.SecurityCenter) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

Thanks again for your help.

Do you have Avast set to load after windows ?

I'm not sure. Is there a way for me to check?

In the Avast settings
Load Avast! services only after loading other system services
It is unchecked.

This morning the Windows firewall warning appeared again as I turned on the laptop. Avast loaded quickly without a warning.

Thanks again.

Sounds like the vagaries of your system - but keep an eye on it and let me know if anything else untoward happens

Thank you very much for your help.

I will see how it goes. I don't mind the security warning as long as it's not malware related. That's my only worry.

It hasn't been a good month for me computer-wise. I just opened another topic for my son's laptop.

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=58840.0

If you have a chance please have a look. I am stuck at getting the computer to give me an OTL log.

Thank you again. You have been so helpful.
