Hi , thanks for responding . I’m using 4.8.1282 and VPS 081118-0 . I wasn’t referring to their website file . I was just showing that link as to what the program is , also from their site they have the latest version . I have an older version of that program just downloaded on my drive . I am not using the program and I have scan many time already with Avast before and never did it alert me about it until now . The file is to big to load on them sites and this is the reason as to my post , how can I be sure the one I have isn’t a trojan ? Thanks
Or program update it will also be sent, I had one go up after the recent program update, after the download but before the actual installation of the update, see image of what it looks like.
Nothing physically happens, e.g. no email is sent, but are you saying that you didn’t even get a pop-up to complete the details, see image (this image is of the new submission method, from 4.8.1282 or later). You also have to have either selected the file in the chest or right click on the file in the chest.
You’re welcome, I thought it would be useful when it popped up out of the blue so I did a quick capture.
Correct , no pop up , nothing . I right click within the Chest the file and click "Email to Alwil software " . I am always updating this software manually .
There certainly seems to be something wrong with your installation (see repair below).
What happens if you right click on the file and select Extract ?
It should pop-up a windows explorer style window to select where to extract it too (don’t do anything, cancel out of it), just testing if other elements aren’t working.
Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.
If that doesn’t work try, reinstall.
It would probably be best to first Download the latest version of avast http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again. Use that when you reinstall.
Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, find it here and save it to your HDD.
Now uninstall (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.
run the avast! Uninstall Utility, reboot. If step 1 failed it may be necessary to run this from safe mode, once complete reboot into normal mode.
I’m wondering whether it might be because I am using Vista sp1 Ultimate , some sore of pop up blocker because even now with those links you just listed if I click on them , nothing happen .
I did though just now sented by zipping the file with password ( Winrar ) and email it to Alwil which that method work .
I will try your other suggested even knowing i’m using the latest version / build of Avast .
I will also try this using XP Pro which I dual boot with separate drives .
Sorry I have zero experience of Vista, though if it were some pop-up blocker I wouldn’t have expected that to block links and even if it did I would have though that it would have notified you of it. I know UAC can be a pain in the rear, but at least that notifies you.
Okay I have used your uninstall cleaner under safe mode which it did uninstall . Now I installed it again with new license keys as well . BTW I’m using my XP system . Now again I gave it a try and still it doesn’t do anything afterward , no pop up . Maybe I’m doing something wrong . Let start after I click " Email to Alwil software " What should I click on afterwards ?
Thanks so much for all your patience and support .
