Hi I just recently installed the program today (And reformatted my this laptop), when I got it started the network shield was not on. Sooo I went “Okay, just a little glitch”, I went to turn it on, BOOM wouldn’t.
This is a Windows 7 HP OS, Windows Firewall is enabled, anything else you guys need?
Before this computer was reformatted I had Avast and ZoneAlarm installed (Barely used ZA because it would lag my computer).
are there any error messages? is it when u try clicking on ‘fix now’ nothing happens?
whats ur system specs (eg windows 7 32bit service pack 1) not HP OS. the brand is not important.
No error message, it’s just when I am clicking “Fix now” and “Turn On” nothing happens.
Windows 7 32bit (I’m not sure if I have a service pack)
You could try a “Repair” of Avast. Not sure how to access Add and Remove Programs in Windows 7.
BUT>>>>>>>For XP go to Control Panel/ Add-Remove Programs, find Avast and Click Change/Repair then scroll down choices and choose “Repair” then follow instructions and Reboot.
Maybe this will help. 
I’ll try this right now!
EDIT: Didn’t work. The program itself seems a bit slow also.
I suggest
My current ver is 7.0.1426
yes, but did u have any previous version of avast on ur system? eg. v6? or u are certain that there is only avast v7 on ur system.
having previous versions before the current version (v 7.0.1426) on ur system will require u to do additional step 5.
if not please skip step 5.
I got it working!
I you can say how you got it working ?
It may help others using the search function in the future.
I’m also curious as to how the OP resolved his issue. :-\
Uninstalled it with Windows.
Restarted without SM
Reinstalled
BOOM.
