I removed my other antivirus and spyware before downloading. Then downloaded the free home virus and spyware things but there is no icon by my clock. I rebooted. I checked my add/remove programs and it is NOT there. Whats wrong? what do I do?
I have Windows 98 2nd edition
What was the other AV and how was it removed?
My guess is Norton and NAV which leaves remnants and causes avast not to install fully to avoid conflict.
Where did you download avast! 4 Home?
Is there a ‘C:\Program Files\Alwil Software’ folder on your HDD?
Downloading does not all out of nowhere gives you the blue ball near the clock.
You need to install Avast after downloading.
I would like to hope that they have taken that step Eddy ;D but I guess we will have to wait and see.
And there is no need to uninstall an anti-SPYWARE program
to download, then install an anti-VIRUS program .
