Problem After Latest Upgrade

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi: I am having problems, just after the latest automatic upgrade.
When I have an email with a “click on” link, I can no longer get that web page.
Now I have to copy the shortcut, & paste it in the address bar.
The new window will open, but it isn’t getting the information until I copy & paste.

Similarly in lots of websites. When I click on a link which refers me to another page, the new window starts to open, & stalls with a blank address bar.
I can usually copy & paste the link, but I shouldn’t have to.

This started acting funy immediately after the last update of AVAST 4.1389

Any suggestions ?

What OS are you using?

Hi: thanks for the quick response.

I’m using XP pro, I also had the same thing happen in 2000 pro,
& thought it was something else, so I wiped & installed the XP.

My updats should be current excepting something about a font
in a program I don’t use.

Strange…
Did you have another browser installed in your computer? I mean, other than IE?
Did you change any other setting in your computer (Internet Options)?

Hi: MY thoughts too!

I am using ie 6 exclusively, and I haven’t changed any settings.

Darn! I thought I was giving all the pertinent information

Avast Home.

Quick follow up, I tried uninstalling Avast & using another product, that didn’t work out, so I used the system rollback feature, & for some strange reason, everything is working as it should.

Thanks
John
