Hi,
Before I upgraded WIN ME on this laptop…I had Win 98…with that I had Avast4…which worked without a problem…that was about 1.5 years ago. Upon upgrade, I added a wireless PC card and once I had that functioning, avast started to update automatically. Something happened to the updates…maybe because there were tooo many and the “blue balls” located in the task bar disappeared and my PC froze up completely. I couldn’t boot up normally…I was just getting the “blue screen”. I finally booted up in safemode and I installed avast thru add/delete programs in my computer.
I then downloaded the latest avast4 that I could find on my desktop( which also has avast4 on it…no problems there). and loaded the file into this laptop. The problem started as stated at the beginning of this thread.
When I had avast installed…I ran an online scan from Trend Micro…but I deleted all files on the PC prior to reloading avast.
