Welcome to the forums, briguy868 :slight_smile:

Since I use the Pro version and not AIS, I can not be of help.

Hopefully, someone will be able to help you soon.

What’s the error message?
Is your system time and date correct?
Any other firewall or security program installed?

Date & time are fine. Comes up “Unable to start firewall!”.

Windows security is the only other system I have.

I suggest an installation from the scratch:

  1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
  2. Download the latest avast! version and save it.
  3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
  4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you’ve run it.
  5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
  6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
  7. Check and post the results.

Thanks, I’ll give it a whirl.
