Anton,

NO problem. Try the first part of what I suggested, and then I can walk you through the MSconfig.

and yes, you will find that Avast is fast with both database and program updates!

Windows 98 works just fine with Avast.

Vlk,

I doubt if Anton has changed any of the default settings, especially if he is using Home. It is probably still set to Standard and no archive, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
