Since I upgraded to the above from AVAST free it disables any links on any web site I go to. What a pain in the butt!! Any suggestions?
How did you upgrade? From the GUI? Not really recommended, I would suggest a reinstall from scratch (uninstall AIS, run the removal tool in safe mode, reboot, install AIS).
I upgraded from an email link they sent. I also did uninstall/reinstall once but didn’t do so in safe mode. I’ll try that. Thanks.
Use this tool in safe mode: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
I suggest an installation from scratch:
- Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
- Download the latest avast! version and save it.
- Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
- Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you’ve run it.
- Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
- Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro. Or even upgrade your key from old versions.
- Check and post the results. If, for any reason, you did not solve, try doing the step 3 in Safe Mode anyway.
