Avast 4.8 Pro two problems...

  1. The Resident Protection cannot be initiated…I stopped it on one occasion and since that one it cannot be re-started again, HELP… :slight_smile:

  2. Where could i find the place to manually select the hard drives to scan viruses?..I cannot find the place to start…HELP!!! :slight_smile:

On the standard skin, on the right hand side you are able to select what you want to scan. As for your first problem, beats me.

As for problem #1, tried rebooting?
If no luck, carry out a repair re-install via “add/remove programs” in the control panel. (It’s the bottom of the four options in the installer gui.)

If repair fails, I suggest an installation from the scratch:

  1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
  2. Boot.
  3. Download the latest version of Avast Uninstall and use it for complete uninstallation.
  4. Boot.
  5. Install again the latest avast! version.
  6. Boot.
  7. Check and post the results.
