Reinstalling the safezone component has changed nothing with safezone - still not working.
The only thing it does seem to have done is broken webshield - which was fine before, but is now scanning nothing.
I’m guessing the problem there may be the faulty redirect driver again - which means mailshield may well be broken now too.
(yes just checked, and both aswrdr redirect drivers are showing again - something is still amiss with this installer I think)
So far it’s fair to say that avast 7 is failing to delight this customer.
It now seems I will have to do a fesh download and complete uninstall/reinstall of AIS again
PS
I think if I was using the free product rather than the paid product I would walk away from avast at this stage - which is a shame because I’ve used it for years.
I suspect there may be very many avast free users who are doing just that
Can anyone from avast team comment on why any attempt to reinstall an avast component seems to reload the faulty redirect driver, and so break webshield and mailshield - and when this will be fixed?
