I have no idea why it isn't shutting down today...mostly in the evenings when he is trying to work on it! :(
how good are you at math?
on a more serious note, make sure hubby uninstalls all the other anti-virus programs before he installs the Avast. once it's fully installed, make sure he runs the most complete scan the program provides and gets rid of all the threats is finds. (delete them from quarantine). and check at least once a week to make sure it's keeping itself up to date. if it isn't, there will be a way to update manually. if you have to do it manually, do it every day.
a friend of mine installed Avast after having the same problem you are having. it was easy to download and install, and her computer has been working well ever since.
