Hello Igor and duke,
I have Sygate free edition firewall installed.
Network connection is ADSL 512.
I cannot say about network shield or internet mail providers as I could not do anything, system froze. and having got comp back working, I thought iI would seek advice first.
Duke, I tried repair in Avast, but it said could not connect to server, so just had to get out of this situation.
I think when I go into Menu and look at update programme it would attempt
to upgrade if I let it as if this beta upgrade is still downloaded.
Comp is working ok at the moment, but thinking ahead to the new version…
Thanks for your replies so far, Mal.
