Hello creigb, thank you for looking into this.

So you agree that avast is NOT compatible with Win 2000? I just want to be certain before I switch to something else, because I believe avast is the best and would hate to see it go ;(

If not compatible, avast needs to change their OS compatibility statement. I downloaded it from cnet.com, where it also says its compatible with 2K. If it IS compatible, then I need to dig into my PC to find the cause of the problems I’m having. I’m just not sure if its compatible due to conflicting statements.

And I disagree… I didn’t really answer my own question. One statement says it is compatible, the other only omits 2000, which leads me to believe its compatible. As far as it not working on my system, that could either be a compatibility issue, or a problem with the system or other software.
