I had trouble with my internet connection & narrowed it down to either Skype or Avast 5; I disabled Avast 5 & could not turn it back on again, so I decided to install the older version, I Tried to turn self defence off but every time it set itself again.
Anyone else come across this?
No I have not undergone to this…
If you have the Avast 5 installer, you can try to repair the installation…
Hi SHARKY7SHARKY,
Self defense is not part of avast! shields. It protects avast! from being terminated or modified so I don’t think the Self Defense module would be the cause. Try repairing avast.
>> Repair avast! <<
1 Click Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
2 Select avast! Free/Pro/Internet Security antivirus
3 Click Change/Remove
4 Scroll down to see Repair. Click Repair then click Next
5 Follow the next prompts
6 Once done, restart your computer

Thanks for the reply, what I was saying is I tried to turn defence off so I could uninstall Avast 5 but it kept reactivating.
I have been running 4.8 for a few days’ I will try Avast 5 again today & see how it goes.
Also I will check to see if after disabling Avast it will reset itself to on.
