system

Thank you for your help. I went to the Control Panel to add/remove programs, avast! antivirus, I did not find a repair button, I kept on clicking next, until it was installing itself. I rebooted with no error messages and it is in my system tray. I was able to do a thorough scan for virus and the VRDB generated for a little while when the computer was idle. It even updated a database when I got online. So everything is working now like it should be. (I forgot to mention, I updated to the latest version when I clicked on the blue box announcing a new version. I am using Avast4 Home Edition).
Thank You very much
