I’m really going to give this my last go before I just take it into a shop.
Basically, I was prompted to run a Boot-Time scan which i complied with, but once the scan was
complete and my computer had restarted, my Local Area Connection
for my internet had been disabled(if it makes a difference,i use an Ethernet cord).
i’ve contacted both my ISP and Avast! about the issue. My ISP checked the connection
and even rebooted it, but the internet works for other computer systems in my home, all except for this one (my desktop)
Avast! said they could come and reset everything, but it requires me to spend copious amounts of money, which I know for
a fact is not necessary.
To conclude, my Avast! information is telling me “the following components could not be started:
Mail Shield, IM Shield, P2P Shield, File System Shield, Web Shield, Script Shield, Behavior Shield,
Network Shield” and I’m really unsure of what to troubleshoot, what to check,
or where to go to fix this because I have no idea what caused or is continuing to cause this.
if someone could just point me in a helpful direction please, I’d be forever grateful.
