I do not have the problem with Avast that you have - did you know you can do boot time scan in Avast as well?

AO - I really do not know where I would start there! I can guarantee if I ran Mbam now I would have 'mysearchdial' despite a 'clean out' a few days back - PAUSE FOR SCAN - yes, there it is again. This time shown as effective for IE which again I do not use. I suspect some websites have sold their soul to the devil. While I believe the PUP is 'innocuous', you can never be sure.
