AdAware checks a lot of system resources (files and registry) that an
antivirus program might get huffy about. May want to disable Avast while
running AdAware. Remember to enable it again when finished.

Also may want to ask Avast's technical support if there is any way to allow
the two programs to run at the same time without getting a warning from the
a/v program.
