I don’t know what happened, Avast was running perfectly fine, and now it has stopped.
I’ve uninstalled using aswclear, because I couldnt do it through add/remove.
I used the current install from the site: Home Free edition.
When I try to start it up, or when windows loads, I get:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application"
Did you download the full setup file from the download page (~37MB) or the ‘part-installer’ that when run tries to download the remaining files required?
The full installer packages are under the words “Free registration” on the download page.
Glad to see you are not a retard. ;D
The one-liner reply above had me wondering for ~a second.
Avast doesn’t just stop working without a reason. It will be either malware related, or to do with configuration, which means there is conflicting software, or maybe you are using the wrong download.
On the Download page there isn’t actually one listed of the size you quote.
The help you will get in the forum will be in proportion to how forthcoming you are prepared to be in your answers. (And maybe how patient you are.)
So if you want to respond, you could maybe advise what other security software is running, and what AV was installed prior to Avast (if any), and are there any other computer symptoms.
