Avast 5 disables network driver after hibernate.

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi,

I just upgraded to Avast 5 Network Security from Avast 4 on my Windows 7 Ultimate system. Now every time my system comes out of hibernation, the Ethernet network device is disabled and I need to reboot to fix. I looked at the Avast Firewall logs and settings but did not find anything. Any ideas what may be causing this issue?

Thanks

Ray

Did you install over 4 or was it a fresh install ?

4

Upgraded from what ?

avast doesn’t disable, but scans and alerts to infection, which I guess isn’t happening or you would have said.

If there appears to be some form of disabling/blocking then there is something else going on and that is likely to be some sort of conflict.

What other security software do you have installed ?
