I am still struggling with Avast. It is in my Internet Explorer and won't let me go
online. I have installed and deleted it in safe mode several times. I get online for
a short while then it restarts itself and I can only work offline.

Did you download the latest version of AVAST [4.8.1201], AND did you let it
update itself. While updating, depending upon your connection speed [like a
phone line], you may temporarily not be able to load a web page...

Once fully updated, AVAST MAY require you shutdown/restart to finish the
process.

Also, please clarify whether you are attempting to *install and uninstall*
while IN Safe Mode...

Now try reinstalling.

I wouldn't give up on Avast, especially w/ Win98.

Since I can't get online, I can't get the utility.

Nor would I. That uninstaller does a pretty good cleanup job [though it
still leaves a few files around].

And uninstalling AVAST in Safe Mode [as indicated elsewhere] does not work
all that well {FME}..

Since you are posting here, I think you could reconsider that statement.

I did not have my mail coming through the Avast Virus Scanner, I had continuous
protection and Web protection. I trusted the virus scanner at Cablevision to take
care of my mail. Therefore, as I stated early on, I can not get online via Internet
Explorer. I can not open and get online with any other ie: Mozilla (which is on my
desktop) and I can not click on links.
However, for about five minutes today I was able to get online before it re-appeared
, and I downloaded the Avast remover utility. I used it in safe mode but I am still
in the same condition I was before......I can send and receive e-mails but I can not
get online.
