Hello Guys It has been a while since I have been here.
I have a question about using Avast for multiple computers. I have seven computers that I have Avast on, and I would like someone to tell someone in charge that when you send an email about subscription being up for renewal, could you please put the name of the computer so I can tell and or keep track of which computer is being renewed.
I have had several sold computers that they renewed after I sold the computer and it takes me six months to figure out what is going on.
Yes, still no ability to pause scans, and when I post in forums, some just say work around it. Avast advertises that they don’t do this for awards. That’s just another way of saying that we don’t listen to our customers. We do it for money. I keep getting Ads to put Avast on my tablet, smartphone, and other mobile devices. I don’t have any mobile devices. In addition, sometimes when I go to do a Quick scan, my scans are gone except for Full Scan and the on-demand scanner for downloaded files. I have to tell it to create a new scan. Then they reappear, after I’ve created the new scan, the quick scans will reappear. If I accidentally click the tiny delete button on a scan instead of settings, I have to create the deleted scan manually. Apparently, there is no way to recover the scan I just deleted without doing a repair on Avast. Apparently Avast cannot just send the deleted scan to my recycle bin, where I could easily recover and just click restore file. I think it’s time for me, my friends, and my colleagues to find a new Antivirus. We’re tired of control being taken away from us. It’s why we moved away from Microsoft stuff, the Chrome Browser, Adobe PDF, etc. When companies decide it’s their way or the highway, it’s time to hit the road. . . .
Does Avast support even read their bug reports this is the response i got for filing a bug and clearly the responser has nothing to do with the bug reported.

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare will fail to load all textures and the game will crash if started with Avast file shield enabled. If i disable the file shield all textures will load and game runs fine. I can then re-enable the shield and game will run normally. This started after last update that included game mode. It does not matter if game mode is enabled or disable game still fails to load all textures with file shield enabled.
If that is your email in your post, I strongly suggest you remove it (as I have in the quote), unless you like spam. These forums are publically available so your email could get harvested and added to spam lists.
I had to uninstall Avast after this update. I thought it was the Windows updates pushed this week so I did an image restore to mid February and with the Windows updates gone I seemed fine. The first thing I did was update Avast, and it broke me again - no applications or system processes (Task Manager, Settings) would start, they all produced error 0xc0000005. I could only uninstall Avast using Programs and Features if I disabled it, and then I ran AvastClean in safe mode, and now I seem to be running fine. I have no idea what that was about - I was surely protected against viruses if I couldn’t run anything! I run Windows 10. I’ve used Avast a long time but I can’t have my PC just being a paperweight so I had to say goodbye to it. I have no idea why this happened.
Did you uninstall the program ???
From looking at the forum, there are other reports of the same error code.
You may need to wait for Avast to fix that problem if it turns out to be their problem.
The 0xc0000005 error code has been reported to Avast.
Thanks! I thought perhaps it had been reported but various searches did not turn up anything. I did uninstall, because I didn’t know what component might be causing it, if any, and the computer was dead till I fixed it.
