Im confused. The password that i entered in the setup is used where? I havent got avast services to start yet. the only thing i have gotten to work is the advanced user interface. From there I can scan any drive, but i cant update the antivirus definitions. It just sits there with both percentages at zero. Im guessing that this is because the service isnt actually running. A single left click on avast icon results in a failure saying it cant be started. I have viewed the log and all errors refer to the chest saying that the chest server is not running (also due to a failed service?) There are three entries in the services tab under control panel related to avast that I can see. Two are running but avast server is not. Does any of this help?

thanks,
Rodney
