I face a pb with my Avast Home version 4.7:
when I double click on my desktop shortcut of avast antivirus, the System doesn’t launch the application and looks for the “Ashavast.exe” file (that I can’t find in my “Alwill Software” folder).
I have uninstalled the software with the “aswclear.exe” file.
The I’ve rebooted before installing the latest version af Avast.
→ same problem : I can’t launch Avast Antivirus and my desktop shortcut is unable to find the application!!
Download and run these (see below), you will probably have to reinstall avast after, you are in the clear. Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.
