I did the install but it tells me I’m in Passive Mode and nothing I do will turn it Active. Also Anti Root-Kit is disabled with same effct - I cannot enable it. I do not have Windows Security Installed nor any other AV SW. This is on my PC Win & 64 bit.
Did the upgrade on other PC and it is all active no issues, Same OS etc. What the heck?
Have scanned for malware, spyware = removed all, uninstalled Avast, downloaded offline install and installed clean install = issue remains the same.
There seem to be a bug with detecting other ‘installed’ av’s.
Next time please (re)search before posting as there are already threads about this with info (as far as it is available now).
Eddy isn’t saying that you have another AV installed, just that Avast appears to be incorrectly detecting/reporting this, what would be considered a bug. There have been a couple of reports of this in the forums though I don’t have a URL to hand.
