Tried that, didn’t work. Still get the same messsage “some shields are off” and when I click ‘Turn on’ or ‘Resolve’ nothing happens.

Also as an added bonus when I rebooted the system I got this nice little error message. (Translated loosely from Spanish: “The file system structure of the disk is damaged. Run the Chkdisk programa in C:”

Looking back through the registry this happened approximately a million times this morning when I booted the computer. Don’t know if this has anything to do with the Avast problem or if it’s just coincidence.

Any ideas? In the meantime it looks like I’ll be shutting this down and switching to my wife’s computer this morning…
