From: Gary Britt 

I searched their forums but didn't see an avalanche of problems like mine.
I didn't have any more time to waste on Avast, it had already wasted a
*lot* of my time because it was the last thing I ever would have thought
was the problem since I had used it for 2 years on that machine.

I've already moved on to a paid version of NOD32.  So far so good with that.

Thanks,

Gary
