I'm inclined to think there is something about my particular system configuration that is interfering. Unfortunately, I still cannot load the Avast antivirus program, so my original problem still exists. I have now reinstalled Avast, and at least my sys tray services are running again, so I imagine I have some level of virus protection in place. I was able to completely uninstall Avast. Thanks, I actually decided to do that right after my last post, and it did in fact work. combination of removing program files, relevant registry keys, etc.)? Perhaps there is a way to perform a purely manual uninstallation (i.e. And I cannot uninstall it so that I can start from scratch. The program is installed but will not load (my original problem), and now the various providers and sys tray feature are also no longer present.

I also tried running the Avast installer (the one I originally used to install the program), but it recognizes that Avast is still installed, and will not allow me to completely reinstall the program. However, running this did not fix my uninstall problem with Avast.

The installation seemed to go okay, and all the providers (script blocking, internet mail, etc) seem to be running. I have not paid for it yet, I was going to do the 60-day trial and see how I liked it.
