Thanks for the info but its not Avast that I'm having trouble with. It's Spybot
when I run it and then go to remove the usage tracks I get the error : spybot.exe/auto immunize has caused:
The application overflowed its temporary memory area.

Module Name: KERNEL32.DLL
Description: Win32 Kernel core component
Version: 4.10.2222
Product: Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Operating System

and this error has done this last 3 or 4 time that I have attempted to remove the usage tracks. I even went as far as to use SFC and replace the KERNEL32.DLL, to no help. This was not a problem until Avast gave me a false positive for Trojan horse as being in Spybot. As per the instructions I removed Spybot thru the windows control panel and in the C:\ windows folders for spyboth even the hidden files are shown in my setup. I reinstalled with a fresh down load of Spyboth, updated and ran the same way and got the same error. I really like Spybot and I hope that someone can help me get this fixed.I know that I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, but with all the knowledge that is here someone should be able to help me.
