I have Avast Pro version 4.7.892 installed on a Windows x64 machine. In the last few days I have had several problems with Avast. I have tried repairs, uninstall/reinstall several times and still some problems persist.
Whenever I select a command by right-clicking the System Tray icon the command remains orphaned on the desktop. The current one that I’m sat looking at as I type this is ‘Program Settings…’
If I click the Avast icon on my desktop to open the program (enhanced view) then it’s 50/50 as to whether the program opens or not.
I don’t have Kerio installed. I am using the hardware Firewall built into my Netgear router and Windows Firewall. I’ve justtried openeing Avast from the desktop icon and the Open command is displayed (and has been for 3 or 4 minutes now) but th eprogram fails to open.
It’s getting to the stage that I may be forced to ditch Avast as it simply isn’t worth risking infection as I have no confidence that the program is working correctly. I’m out of ideas.
