OMG what a morning.
(On my Dell Desktop, win xp, sp3)This morning I got brave, first I turned off online armor firewall and clicked to update to 6.0.1000. When I restarted after the Avast install, I was locked out. Online Armor had stopped everything. About this time I was wishing I had stayed in bed. :'(
I went in, safe mode and tried last good configuration, no success. restarted it a few times but no help. so went back in safe mode and chose to restore to earlier date. Thank goodness it gave me back so control.
Now I have uninstalled online armor after Avast 6.0.1000 put messages up that it was installed, refused the Web Rep and re-registered it.
Right now Avast 6.0.1000 seems to be working fine and Windows firewall is on.
I'd like to install the latest ZoneAlarm free firewall, because I understand it. But... I am afraid to do that at this time. Afraid the Avast 6.0 will mess up.
Any suggestions.
