Thankyou Bob! 
I’m not only pleased that everything is working but I’m also very pleased with Avast! (free) itself!
For the last two years or so I’ve been using PC-Cillin which was supplied by my Bank as a ‘freebie’. I always felt that it was some kind of cut-down version - it only seemed to work on IE6 and I don’t think mail-scanning ever worked at all (not that it was broken, there just wasn’t much in the way of options).
I can now see Avast! working on both browsers & email and when I’m not on such a tight budget I’ll give the Pro version a whirl.
On the downside, I’m pretty disappointed with AOL not working properly (I’ve gone back to AOL8) but it’ll be a few days before I can summon up the energy to find out what was wrong - I’m thinking of changing ISPs but my main hesitation lies in the fact that my website has been online for about 5 years and I’ll lose all search engine placements/links to my website (etc.). Still, it might be time to call it a day as far as AOL is concerned!
Regards,
John
