Avast 6 freeware Browsers take ages to open.

David Bowie can’t help. :cry:

You never Know,i heard he’s a bit of a wizz on the pc.Wonder if he uses Avast6 free. ::slight_smile:

Forgot to mention, during install of the latest Avast6 free from
file hippo it gets to the stage of “finishing setup” and sticks there
with the full green download bar and does’nt progress any further.
Then as soon as i click the mouse the pc freezes,and i have to turn it
off at the power switch and back on then “start windows normally”.
Then when windows boots up the voice comes on saying Avast has been installed.
Also a neighbour asked me to put Avast on his pc and it did exactly the same thing. ???

could you upload the “c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\Setup.log” ?

thx
Lukas.

Hi Lukas,
I just uninstalled Avast6.0v and installed 6.0.1027v(again) and it does the same thing
freezes at “finishing setup” but says installed after i turn off power and back on.
The browsers are opening as normal now but i’m not holding my breath because
it’s done that before then starts taking ages to open the browsers again.
I’ve had a bit of trouble uploading the setup file it’s too big,any ideas
of how to upload it?

I think i’ve done it right,i’ve put it in the incoming folder in another folder and named it tommytinkroom.

Any news?Did you get the setup file?

Finally found out what the problem was and fixed it thanks to op SiB
