Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone could help with a problem I seem to have. I recently installed avast Internet Security v 5.0.462 in plave of AVG. Everything seems to be working fine with it however, since installing, I’ve been unable to download .exe files. Well I say cant download, I can however the file does not save to the file location. It simply seems to vanish. If I try to run the file directly, it does the same thing! Have I failed to set up the firewall or shields correctly or has something happened in the registry! Any help would be brilliant.
Why can’t you download them, what errors are displayed ?
avast doesn’t block, but scans and alerts to infection, it doesn’t have any policy not to allow .exe downloads.
It would be worthwhile to ensure all remnants of avg are gone - AVG8.x (or higher) Remover, download tool from here, http://www.avg.com/download-tools there is a 32bit and 64 bit windows version, ensure you use the correct one.
No errors are reported. It goes through the process and everything appears to be fine. When you go to the download folder, its not there. If you search for it, it cant find! If you run at source, it just vanishes!
Everything was fine until i installed avast.
I’d love to download the uninstall tool from AVG but as i cant download .exe i cant do it!
