Avast free problem

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

during some of the update avast installed some kind of browser with russian yandex mallaware. you are fucking morons

Watch your language !
This is a all ages open webboard.

And for your information, avast doesn’t install “some kind of browser”.
The only browsers avast can install (depending on your settings) are the SafeZone Browser and Chrome.

Also Yandex is not malware.

Yandex is a Russian multinational technology company specializing in Internet-related services and products. Yandex operates the largest search engine in Russia with about 65% market share in that country.

If you want help, change your language use/mentality and provide details.

Hi:
Can somebody explain me why my Avast after each Boot Scan notifies me as follows: This copy of Windows 7 is not genuine.

Are you using a cracked OS ?

Please start your own thread and provide a screenshot of the message.

My OS is and was not cracked. I have been using it about 5 years with no problem. This notification appears after an Avast update, probably before the last one. It comes from the Avast tray icon and looks like I have written in my previous message.

I don’t see a screenshot in reply #4. :slight_smile:

Should there be one? … Reply #4 say provide a screenshot of the message

Ok! I will provide my message with a screenshot. It will follow probably on Saturday this week because this day is a day when I ussualy do a Boot Scan. But it maybe a trouble to perform the screenshot do to this notification is displayed about 20 sec.

Unfortunately, I could not make a screenshot because this notification displays just after Boot-time Scan and hides quickly (about 20 sec) before screenshot application runs. But I would ask you what the screenshot for? I exactly write you how it looks:
Windows 7
Build 7601
This copy of Windows is not genuine
There is on the lower right corner of desktop near the Avast tray icon.

That’s not a message generated by Avast. It’s a notification from Microsoft.
You’ll need to contact them to clear up the problem if the following doesn’t work:

Ok! Maybe from Microsoft. But why this notifying appears after Avast Boot-time Scan,only and since certain time?

Coincidence ???
