Installed Avast Premier, cannot connect via WiFi

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I just purchased and installed Avast Premier, and now I cannot connect to anything via WiFi. I’m running Windows 10 on a lenovo X260.

Nothing I do seems to enable the wifi. My only recourse was to uninstall it. As soon as I rebooted, tons of WiFi networks.

Any ideas?

  • Which version…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?
