Right click on the avast! icon in the notification area.
Select Program Settings from the menu that pops up.
Note: You can also go to the Start menu and launch avast! Antivirus. From the
avast! Simple User Interface, click on Menu in the top left hand corner.
In avast! Settings, click on Troubleshooting in the left hand column.
Under Troubleshooting, put a check mark in the box next to Disable avast!
self-defense module.

Good luck

Nepatsfan

thanks for the reply .
i thought that self defense and self protection
might be the same thing .
THIS is what was causing my problem with
system restore not working !

So that's why my System Restore only worked in Safe Mode.

I tried System Restore with self protection disabled and the restore
operation completed successfully. Then I tried it with self protection
enabled and the restore operation was not successful.

4.8.1187. What version are you running?
