Hi, Today avast began running in the background and I believe it is deleting all my exe programs (Office, Chrome, Edge, etc). What is happening? I did uninstall the anti-track software earlier in the day because kept popping up all the time. Not sure if this is related?
First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.
What Avast Program/s are you running ?
Ordinarily this shouldn’t be doing this, the one program that comes to mind would be Avast Cleanup ?
I don’t believe Anti-Track would be removing programs but trying to hide ass so to speak.
Avast AntiTrack allows you to block tracking activities and targeted advertisements by the Windows operating system.
I just had a chat with the support team. It sounds like it may have been caused because Comcast went out unexpectedly while Avast was updating some files, and this caused the issue? Still waiting for them to restore service…
Have you tried an Avast Repair ?
AvastUI > Menu > Settings > General > Troubleshooting > Repair APP - Restart after completion.
