I’m having the same problem mentioned, except I don’t think I totally understand what you guys mean by ‘selecting persist the changes’ or ‘Save as’. I can’t find those command anywhere. If you mean by rebooting the computer after I’ve made those changes, that still doesn’t seem to help.

Another thing I’m concerned about is that avast doesn’t load straight away during startup. The resident protection (with the ‘a’ in the task bar) doesn’t come up until a few minutes later. Is this normal?

I’m using windows 98, with avast home editions 4.1
