Thx for the info kitty.

Don't disable AVAST, jus turn auto updates off until it's fixed, probably within 24 hours.

All is back to normal. You can update and also have auto-updates on for the virus database (and possibly the software but, personally, I'd rather have the software in a "check but ask for confirmation" mode).
