Just installed Avast Home on my Dad’s new computer with Vista Home Premium. Noticed the lack of a blue icon in the tray - and then find in the Security Center that Avast is turned off.
This is the only AV program this computer has ever had - any ideas/help?
Well…don’t I feel silly. Needed one more restart - all good now.
For the record, this was the fifth restart. I’d been installing a few programs and downloading updates but still suprised that it needed this many restarts before taking effect. Vista - looks pretty, but a wee bit strange to I who’ve never used it before.
Anyone able to delete this thread? If so, thank you.
Sorry.
Maybe his computer is infected and avast could not get correctly installed.
Read the instructions, download and burn (maybe from another computer), finally use one of this rescue CD’s:
