Can you try to repair your installation?
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair).
Second, boot into SafeMode, now run the avast! uninstall utility.
You haven’t said whether or not you had any other antivirus on your computer? Leftovers from other antivirus software can interfere with avast!'s operation.
Remnants of a previous antivirus(s) must be removed!
I have a problem with AVAST and WINDOWS VISTA. Loaded AVAST ok but when trying to anctivate it in the WINDOWS VISTA SECURITY CENTER (Malware protection) I can not get it activated. At the same time the WINDOWS DEFENDER is active. This might be a very basic security issue but I’m not able to solve this on my own…sorry. The result is that the malware protection = off.
The other issue that in AVAST the Background protection does not stay “on” - neither Normal or High…it always turns “off”.
Please, what should I do to get this sorted out…and once again “sorry” for intuding into this discussion as I had major problems in posting my own “qustion” into this forum. Thanx
