Avast 7 updates and mail shield

I found after installing the newest version that the updates and the mail shield were not working so when I uninstalled it using the uninstall tool and rebooted I usesed Malwarebytes and scanned my pc. I found PUM.Hijack.help was infecting my pc. I guess Avast missed that one lol. But once I removed it and reinstalled Avast 7 everything is working just fine. So if your having issues with the install then try what I did, hope this helps.

thanks ;D … at least you could solve your problem … but yeah , Avast was unable to detect this malware apparently.

Remember PUP scanning is disabled by default. Anyway, I think it’s more a coincidence than anything else (a timing issue)

Thats cuz Im Da Man

right, one should actually always ask what the file shield settings are on the affected system.
