Avast won't start

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I allowed Calibre to update to their latest version.
Calibre wanted to restart my computer - which it’s never done before.
On reboot, Avast Anti-Virus won’t start.
I tried the repair function in the “programs & utilities” folder in control panel and still nothing.
Running Windows 7 home premium, updates are current.
The computer is not online until I get this sorted out.
I’m currently doing a “full Scan” with Superantispyware & then will run Malwareantibytes.

Rather than cluttering up the post by dumping any and all information I think you might need,
I’ll wait to see what specific information is requested.
Thank you

Since a repair of Avast didn’t work, you could try the following:

Clean Install of Avast:

OK, I’ll start off with that.
thank you

At this point, with no explanation - Avast has decided to run.

Tomorrow I have a big hard drive coming in.
I think I’m overdue for an OS re-install.

Problem solved for the time being

Thank you

Sometimes it just requires an extra reboot. Glad it’s working. :slight_smile:
