When I set protection control it always goes back to disabled no matter where I set it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have uninstalled and re-installed and still have the same problem. This is when I go to set “Resident Protection”
Thanks
dd,
The simplest thing to try at this point is to go into Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add-Remove and double click Avast.
Choose the option to Repair. Reboot system and try again.
Good luck.
Techie,
Thanks for your reply. I shut down last night and when I booted up this morning, everything is working fine. So no problem now.
Thanks Again.
Did/have you another anti-virus program on your computer, if so what?
In order to help fully we need more information…
- What OS are you using? is it up to date?
- avast! version and VPS file (virus database) number, e.g. 0436-4 (see about avast!)
Also see this thread for further information and advice User’s FAQ.
Do you have Windows 98?
If so, sometimes, when you change the providers status you should ‘exit and shutdown’ avast and then boot… Seems that the applications is ‘killed’ by the system shutdown without saving the changes…
