@Para-Noid :- If you do not have any resolution to fix the problem then don’t criticize or misguide groups who are trying to assist others.
@megapancake :- The solutions suggested by iYogisolutions1 should be effective & if the last suggestion recommended is not working then you should be reinstalling the windows.
Let’s get some info before jumping to conclusions. What is your OS? What security software do you have
or “ever” had? If uninstalled, how was it uninstalled? Security software includes anti-virus, anti-malware,
anti-spyware and firewalls. Are you using Windows firewall and/or Windows Defender? As far as the distributable package that iyogi is wanting is if I’m not mistaken is included with the avast file.
Also use a good cleaner like CCleaner to clean your HDD and registry. The link is below.
Take a look at http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=90627.msg720791#msg720791
Pondus, who has a lot more experience than most people, was doing just that before iyogi jumped in. ;D
If you follow the forums you will find that iyogi usually leaps before looking. iyogi has this never ending desire to “not” making things better. Only worse. I am “not” criticizing anyone. iyogi is doing enough misguiding for all of us.
I sent a message to essexboy. He will probably give you the more help than me.
But, do provide the info I requested. It might be tomorrow as it’s late in the UK.
Please have patience. We will figure it out.
I’m not going to get into who knows what or if other suggestions were correct or not.
What I can do is read your topic. You have mentioned other antiviruses being installed, whether currently or before. If I’m not mistaken, you mentioned having used AVG in the past and also MSE.
If you haven’t yet, you should uninstall both before installing avast. After the uninstall, and sill before installing avast, you should run the respective removal utilities for each of those (and for any other you ever had) so to remove any potential conflicts.
A partial list of specific removal utilities for security tools is located at http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/. Review the list, read the appropriate info, download the respective removal utilities and follow the appropriate instructions. After each removal, please reboot before running additional utilities.
All this may or may not solve your original problem completely. Your system may have additional issues. But in any case, it is very recommended to remove any remnants of security tools before installing new ones.
Please report back when you are done (or if you have additional questions).
If you read my posts you would realise that because avast wont install i had to install mse cause i want to have an av. i did fully ininstall avg but ill try it again >.>
Also, what is win2k?
I’ll say it again (and you should re-read the relevant post): uninstall is not enough; uninstall is not the same as the removal utility.
You need to uninstall, reboot, removal utility, reboot.
BTW, Win2k is Windows 2000 (a version of Windows), which needs also SP4 + RU1 for avast to work. If your version of Windows is not Windows 2000, then part of those links are not relevant.
