Hi today i got a update for my free avast antivirus and now when i log onto my pc i get my avast opening by itself, can i switch that off as i dont want avast popping up soon as i log into my computer?
Attach a screenshot please.
Ive just done a repair and then restarted my pc and it didnt do it this time, i’ll keep you posted as i’ll try at it again tomoz when i sign in again.
No its done it again taken much longer this time its just opened by itself, if i cant turn that off then im gonna have to uninstall and try a different anti virus as i dont want it opening everytime i log in, it was running ok till the update this afternoon.
Did you try uninstalling using third-party uninstaller tools?: https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/11/#artTitle

You need to ensure all prior installed a/v’s have been removed before you install new. Using Windows uninstaller program is not good enough.

It was working perfectly fine before the update, i aint uninstalled avast ive had it for months with no problem, i do have a wifi dongle that i havnt had long and ive just removed it from my pc and restarted and my avast hasnt opened itself this time.
Just letting you know its been ok ever since i removed my wifi dongle and restarted my pc, ive since put my wifi dongle back in and today ive restarted my pc many a time and my avast hadnt opened by itself, is it possible my avast had issues updating with my wifi usb dongle?
Try waiting a few days or so.
The UI opens after program update and PC restart is done.
