It must have been busy as I just tried again, and it worked great - Thanks!

I guess I can just let it do its thing now or is there a list somewhere of settings I need to tweak?
I had AVG before, but my computer was dying. I made a last ditch effort to reformat and reinstall, but I could not find my XP discs. So, I installed the discs I did have which was Windows 2000 sp4. That is what lead me to Avast! (since the newer AVG does not run on 2000).
Also, do you just use the Microsoft Firewall with the Free Avast???
