Jean,

Oh that Techie…What a guy!

I need to know what messages you are getting that you wish to “silence”.

Are you getting “alarms” or are you speaking of notifications of updates and new program builds?

I am not sure of what you mean by Avast causing a a problem when you are surfing. Can you provide more details?

“Questions are even sillier when I can’t answer them. hahaha”

Techie ;D
