Hi I am having a problem opening avast. Well that it seems to open but it immediately goes to the task bar and I am unable to maximise it AT ALL. When the mouse hovers over the tab in the task bar the little window pops up but nothing happens after I click on it. I am only encountering this problem with Avast! – all other tabs maximise normally.
And today a Windows generated virus alert has me perplexed. I have snipped an image of the page that has been generated but I don’t know how to insert an image here and I am unsure whether this link to the image will work here hXXp://picasaweb.google.com/nicola6215/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCPCw6rPW0P6vaw# This has never had this happen before as usually the Avast siren goes off which it did a few weeks ago but because I couldn’t access the control panel I ended up forgetting about that incident.
I am also running PC Tools firewall plus (windows Firewall turned off) and both Avast and Windows Defender are turned on and up to date (as reported by windows)
Could someone please advise me how I can get the Avast control panel accessible and advise me how to deal with this Windows Virus alert which occurred today. I don’t know if I should trust this site: hXXp://go2.thruhere.net/3/?c=947
Many thanks
