Hey folks! I had a problem with Internet Explorer today where it went into an infinite loop of crashing soon as I opened the window. I assumed the wonderful Microsoft corrupted itself so I did a system restore. After the restore internet explorer still crashed, and as an added bonus, my Avast Internet Security Pro was disabled and unable to turn back on! I downloaded Spybot cause I was starting to get suspicious. It found quite a few things, and after that was said and done my internet explorer starts magically working again! Except now I have a new problem of getting Avast to work again.
I finally had to go into safe mode and completely delete Avast. Then I loaded as normal and reinstalled Avast. Except now when I have it load my subscription status, it starts to update, and then it says “a program is attempting to shut down avast” “click yes or no” I click no, I want it to update and put in my subscription. Avast then promptly crashes, and reloads. I am doing a full system scan but I have a feeling it is going to come up clean.
What do I do to get my subscription back working again?
1/ System Restore without disabling Avast self-defense corrupts the install. Do not do this.
2/ At the risk of stating the obvious, have you tried to click YES instead of NO?
Also I went into full safe mode and deleted avast, exited to normal boot-up of windows. and reinstalled it still crashes, so this isn’t the problem. I had a completely fresh install of avast and it still shuts down.
after update this am, now 1026-2, ie9 wont run unless disable avast internet security. all was ok yesterday. also saw similar complaint in feedback this am.i suspect you will see many more similar complaints today.
