Hello ParaNoid and Pondis,
Thanks for the input!
I found at my workplace today that I could for some bizarre reason reinstall my trial Avast internet security for a further 30 days.
When I returned home this afternoon I was, after the second attempt able to register my Avast via my home network.
Although peeved that I should be put through all this hassle I was pleasantly surprised that Avast managed to find and rectify 2x problems with my laptop, so maybe its not turned out to be that bad after all; And maybe I wont be as damming when I send my review to Amazon as I was going to be.
So my next questions will be, Is Avast for servers any good and will it work with MS Server 2011??
