Avast Antivirus wont show 4 of my scans

system · 2017-05-30T10:00:20.000Z

OK, I was guessing that might be the solution. I can only hope it works.

Easier way, export your settings and reimport them after the reinstall.

system · 2017-05-30T10:05:31.000Z

I don’t know how exactly to do that, also, I am not very keen about uninstalling and then re-installing.
Just to be honest.

See: https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB15#artTitle
Which Avast…? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)

system · 2017-05-30T10:48:09.000Z

I Use avast free anti-virus, just like in those pix on the link.
I think it might be 2016, cause that’s when I got it (If I remember correctly)
That was actually quite helpful. Thanks!

You’re welcome.

For a clean reinstall, follow instructions…

Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
Reboot.

system · 2017-05-30T23:21:08.000Z

Well, I am trying to install, so we’ll see how this goes.

Well, unfortunately, I have tried the following:

Repairing Avast
Re-installing Avast

Nothing has worked. I just finished re-boot, and I have the same problem :'(.

OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
Other security related software installed…?
Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

system · 2017-06-01T11:20:30.000Z

-Don’t know about OS, but one of my programs on here is 64 bit.
-I also use Iobit Malware Fighter as a second opinion (Windows Defender runs in the background)
-This is the first antivirus, unless I had Iobit on first. I was trying to remember a couple days ago myself.

Hope it helps

Hi JC20032017,

More anitvirus programs is not better. Here’s why:
https://blog.kaspersky.com/multiple-antivirus-programs-bad-idea/2670/

Choose only one antivirus program and get rid of the others! Doesn’t matter if it is not Avast you keep, but keep only one.

My Avast Scans still won’t show up. I haven’t seen them for more than a week or two now.
Help.

Hi -JC20032017,

I’d wager about 99% of glitches or installation failures are resolved by uninstalling rebooting rebooting (twice) and then installing a clean version of the program you wish to install. Have you completely removed old antivirus programs?

Why wait so long to report? Did they ever show?

system · 2017-06-18T11:14:51.000Z

I had them show up once a day or two ago.

-JC20032017

system · 2017-06-29T20:27:19.000Z

Huh, they seem to be showing again.
I don’t know why now and not 2-3 weeks ago.
