system

I hope I am not confusing this problem but it sounds similar to my problem. If I should start a new problem, let me know.
I have only been using Avast for about a month and thought everything was fine until last week. I am using bluelight dial up and IE6 with XP pro & Sp2. I started getting the messages re “too many sockets” and avast proxy. It always always had a reference to “etrends” which is a tracking prog. I have had for a long time. I had grandchildren using the PC and thought they had messed with something and did a system restore. That fixed the problem for a day or so??? WHY?? Then it came back!! I know just enough to be dangerous. so I ran msconfig and turned off all 4 avast lines in the process sections and have not had the problem since. I would like to turn avast back on but I don’t need protection if I can’t get to any web sites. Every thing I tried came back with the same red message. I will watch this site for a fix.
Thanks for any help you can provide
