Besides turning off automatic updates or uninstalling Avast (which at the moment is tempting), is there some way to stop Avast from automatically restarting my computer?
Never heard of such an issue before…
- Which Avast…? (Free/Pro/IS/Premium)
- Which version…?
- OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
- Other security related software installed…?
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?
Thank you for your reply.
I have the free version.
Version 19.8.2393 (build 19.8.4793.541)
OS - Windows 10 Home 64 bit Version 1903 Build 18362.418
Other software - Malwarebytes
Nothing used previously to Avast
- Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
- Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
- Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
- Reboot.

Thank you. I truly hope this helps and I will have a look at the link regarding Malwarebytes.
You’re welcome.
