My avast warning still keeps coming up, and I find windows firewall is turned off again, seems to be a conflict between windows and avast firewalls, Question, has the free version of avast got a firewall? if so, how can I turn it off, or alternativly turn windows firewall off. Incidently since I got this problem I am flooded with spam mail. HELP PLEASE. I just turmed cp off, and back on, the warning came up. I clik on the message on the system tray, windows security comes up with firewall off, I close avasts warning and windows firewall comes on. Weird.
