    Am I infected? I.E. Keeps Freezing/Hanging


    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit,

    Recently tried installing Avast Free Anti-Virus, right after I uninstalled the "Free Trail" of McAfee that came with the computer.

    Upon doing so, I restarted the computer after the Avast install, and almost immediately I.E. froze, spinning wheel started, could not click Windows (Start) or anything, couldn't even bring CTRL-ALT- DELETE up. Have to hard shut down and As soon as I do a system restore (in safe mode) which uninstalls Avast, it seems to be fine. Is there a virus or something blocking this?

    T.I.A.

    Did you use the appropriate uninstall tool from McAfee to remove all their remnants from your System before installing Avast?

    Your symptoms are indicative of 2 AV's {even remnants remaining} in conflict.
