Avast wont scan

Hope I am on correct forum , if not please advise . When I go from menu -select scan area - local disks and click same , the page goes black .Tried a few times and always the same . Has been ok until last couple of days . Would appreciate any help / advice given .

Hmmm… can you post a screenshot of the ‘black’ window?
Or, are you saying that all monitor become black?

It is the blue Avast start /menu page that goes black . I have now got Microsoft error report as follows . "Windows error reporting " Problem caused by Avast Antivirus. This problem caused by Avast Antivirus. This program created by Alwil software. Alwil software does not currently have a solution for the problem you reported. Having used Avast for quite a while now and been delighted with it ,looks like I will have to uninstall and replace it with some inferior programme . Thanks for trying to help .

Sorry, I still cannot imagine what is this error exactly.
I suggest an installation from the scratch:

  1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
  2. Boot.
  3. Use Avast Uninstall for complete uninstallation.
  4. Boot.
  5. Install again the last version.
  6. Boot.
  7. Check and post the results.

Have carried out your advice and re installed Avast , everything now ok , thank you for advice and help .

You’re welcome :wink:
