Hi,
Back again. Took three tries to download avast again. Have now been waiting 17 minutes for definitions update to work, all it says is "initializing, please wait" and nothing is happening.
Computer is work supplied and I have no idea what security is on it. That is why I have put avast on it. It does not come up in flashing lights that "you have XXXXXX security on this machine".
If you have one last solution I am willing to try, otherwise it is adios avast.
Thanks for your help
