Now I get message “unsecured” and to click on Fix now…nothing works I click on the fix now and nothing…tried to remove Avast program but it wont let me…tried to download new Avast…same No good…tried system restore but that also wont work…can anyone help me???
Hi: Please provide further information.
What version/product of Avast?
Whats your OS?
What other security software do you have installed?
running windows 7, with free downloaded Avast…I also have Malwarebytes anti-malware
If it is reporting unsecured, what modules is it showing in the details that are not running or out of date ?
What error are you getting when you try to remove avast ?
I suspect that there is corruption in the installation, which is probably going to require a clean install:
-
Download the latest version of avast, 7.0.1466 http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again (if you didn’t save your last download). Use that when you reinstall.
-
Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for 5.x, 6.0.x and 7.0.x).
-
- Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 6.x if previously installed and then for 7.0, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.
Edit typo version avast number.
