I was not using a firewall up until a couple of days ago, so this doesn’t explain anything in my case.

However, on the first try, I was able to update using the Avast system tray icon’s update selection. The report also indicated that I was one edition more up to date than the last time I looked. I have to assume that the really automatic update worked sometime in the last couple of days.

I did just re-activate Zone Alarm, so like BJ, I have a different result with Zone Alarm running than I had before.

Have the geniuses at Avast fixed something without telling us, or is there something therapeutic about running Zone Alarm?

Will we ever find out the answer to the mystery?

Will Ross and Rachel ever get together?
