Hi ady4um

Many thanks

To answer your questions:-

Not sure about failing message
Rebooted afer install
I have only relied on avast for fiewall, anti virus etc.
I have heard that MS installs, and possibly BT. But how to verify these I am not sure how.
Vista 32 bit used.
Avast not listed in services.msc !
Or add and removed programs.

Going to try another install tonight
