Launching Avast

Good day. I want to ask if it is not possible to modify Avast Free to run first before Windows loads (as is loaded by Eset). Downloading Avast is the last, and if it is not loaded, the Internet connection does not work, which takes 2.5 minutes after the PC is switched on. Well thank you

Avast does load early. What comes up late is the icon for the user interface.

To me, if the icon does not load, the network will not start and that means I cannot connect to the Internet. After loading the icon, everything is working properly. It takes a long time to load the icon.

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

I have Avast Free ver. 07/19/2388
Windows 10 Pro builds 1903 64bit
Other protection - Windows firewall only
Before Avast, I used ESS
The late launch of Avast was also on the previous Windows 10 build
Maybe I have something wrong, but I don’t know what.

How to Successfully Install Avast http://goo.gl/VLXde

I have Eset smart security properly uninstalled and there are no traces (including registers) on my PC.

  1. Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
  2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.

Instructions already supplied. :slight_smile:

Yep, but it seems he didn’t follow them. :wink:

Not following instruction accounts for 90% of all problems. :slight_smile: (OT)

Yes, unfortunately there’s nothing much we can do about that (except repeating it).

I did a new installation according to the instructions and the situation seems to have improved. Thank you all for your help and advice.

You’re welcome.
