I have just installed the promo version of avast 4 (4.1.342) which I got from download.com. I am running Win 98 on a HP 500MHz PIII. All of my folders have gone to list view, which I was able to change back, but now when I select “View as Webpage” (to get picture previews before opening them) it now does nothing. Anyone know what disabled my “view as webpage” option for all of my folders?
I have played around with Folder Options from the Start menu with no success.
Hi and welcome,
I don’t recall seeing this mentioned as a problem before, so with one exception I’m sorry I can’t offer suggestions.
For a start, though, try updating the program – current version is 4.1.357 as of about a week ago. Among other improvements there were some bug fixes, although as I said I don’t remember hearing of your problem before.
There’ll be more experienced help along before long, and hopefully they can offer useful suggestions whether or not the problem’s related to avast, which I don’t believe it is.
Best,
Mike
I had a Redlof virus that infected and replicated my desktop.ini and folder.htt files. Avast couldn’t repair any of the infected files and much had to be deleted. I think my problem starts here, but I’m not sure how to fix it.
avast! can detect the VBS:Redlot (an ITW virus that infects .EXE and .COM files). I try to find if the avast! Cleaner can correct this but it seems that it cannot handle it 
Keep asking for help. Maybe someone more experienced could help you.
