Ever since I installed Avast! Antivirus Home Edition my computer crashes a lot. The start button and all the icons on the desktop disappear and then then stuff comes back again. The annoying thing is sometimes it keeps on doing that and I can’t do anything but watch and hope it stops. Of course at least my task manager still works so I can still wrtie this message. 
Can anyone help?
Is there any error message for the crash?
Did you have any other antivirus program installed in your computer?
Which operational system are you using?
Do you have a firewall/
Sorry, we need some more information to help you…
Oh sorry, no I did not recieve an error message. Everything just go blank leaving the wallpaper and all of a sudden everything comes back. No I have no other antivirus installed. I am using Windows Xp Home Edition and I use Zone Alarm firewall with it.
