No Internet connection with latest update

[system]

I was on my laptop, which connect wirelessly and had to restart it due to the newest update. I was on the Internet at the restart. When I restarted, I had no Internet connection. I even uninstalled Avast, hoping it would work, but I still have no Internet with my wireless. The computer will not even find any wireless connections. HELP!!!

What avast! version (free etc) are you using?

I think this could be a corrupt install or a corrupt firewall driver (if using internet security or premier)

From the previous versions, the “transparent proxy” has been removed, which could have caused it but you’d rather want the latest version to work.

I’d recommend a clean install:

1. Download Avastclear, Rejzors uninstall tool and the appropriate Avast program edition

Note: You need to be ONLINE during this install

Rejzors Uninstall tool: http://rejzor.wordpress.com/avast-cleanup-tool/

2. Uninstall Avast by control panel [If you don’t have Avast in control Panel go to #4]
3. Uninstall in safe mode using Avastclear.
4. Run Rejzors Uninstall Utility in Normal Mode (removes traces avastclear doesn’t) - reboot.
   Check : Once uninstalled check in device manager>view>show hidden devices if there is anything related to avast with a yellow triangle… if so, uninstall it and reboot.
5. Install the version you downloaded.
6. Reboot.
