I am deleting AVAST

I have used this service for years but no more. Last night I re-installed GTA5 for the 4th time on my PC. It takes approx 11 hours to complete. Then after the install was done I noticed 4 more games on my PC had been deleted or corrupted beyond repair. All evidence points to avast. I am sick of it and ready to throw my machine into the bay but it’s not my machine’s fault is it?

are you 100% sure avast is to blame??..do you even know how they got corrupted???

add exception to the game directory and reinstall those games. If the games are still corrupted then its not avast fault, you might try checking the other probably causes like hardware and software issues(windows).

If you could provide specific information including OS/ Avast product and version/ other security software and what evidence you have found that is pointing to Avast, it is more likely other users and/or Avast may have helpful information to help resolve. :slight_smile:

I would be interested in knowing the proof that Avast is to blame. I have been using Avast for over 7 years, and never had a problem with my PC games caused by Avast. Software recently yes, but that has since been resolved in an update. I think before accusing Avast of being responsible, consider investigating the problem and troubleshooting it. If by chance it is Avast, your investigation would help others in the future.

You are all likely to be talking to yourselves, I would wait for further input from the OP who hasn’t logged on since posting.

can you link me the thread where avast have trouble with software like you said? since you said its recently, i want to know if software that i uninstalled not at fault.
