Can’t scan and can’t see how to ‘run the service’ - Not a clue! Please help
have you tried avast repair?
controlpanel > ad/remove programs > avast > uninstall / change > repair option
i assume you have removed any previous used antivirus before installing avast
General: Uninstalling a third-party antivirus software https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB11#artTitle
thanks, I’ll have a go. Has been working fine and has been the sole anti virus installed
Thanks Chief Wiggum, sorted now.
Eddy - thanks for your reply, did have a look before posting but couldn’t see what I was looking for. Will make a note.
The link Eddy shared is primarily for those that have an infected computer.
Since a repair of Avast has already fixed you problem, simply tuck that link away for future reference.
Most likely, you’ll never need it.
