    System Restore? Did you remove MSE and reboot beforehand?

    No I just downloaded and wanted to see if it started ok before removing MSE. Should I just do a system restore, remove MSE and then download again?
    Thanks for getting back to me.

    Many thanks to you both, System restore, remove MSE, reboot and then install Avast worked perfectly.
    Great that there are such helpful members on here
