Well, I've got Malwarebytes now, and am scanning for problems. Therefore, I feel I should uninstall Avast, and maybe try it again later.

If you open Avast!, on the left you will see a series of tabs.....one of these is for the system shields, which scan all of the files going in our out of the system. The default is "on".
As I mentioned upthread, I think Avast! is a 12-month free trial..........he'll have to uninstall it, and download and install it again perhaps.

Oh great, this might not have been the issue. There was an error creating the setup log while trying to re-install Avast. Hmmm. I'm going to keep trying things but as least I am protected with Malwarebytes...
