I had been running Avast 5.418 free and just bought Avast IS and installed 5.0.447. After this process the Avast screen showed AVAST free so I downloaded and saved setup for avast 5.447 and removed Avast free and installed Avast 5.477. now nothing seems to work. Under services Avast starting. It looks like network can’t activate, shows blue ring like trying. Windows 7 X64 with 12 gig mem.
Help. I am on different system now because can’t communitate with Win 7 system.
Well, not sure how we got here but all seems to be OK now. Have network access back and have installed license file. It would appear that finally ether Windows 7 or Avast somehow changed the firewall settings and then got network access. Looked like avast was trying to run but needen to get network access to update but couldn’t and everything just hung . Took about 30 min to resolve.
Still not sure but best info I can give you. I received many system faults during the time I was trying to get it to work. One below but have several more.
