I just had a beast of a time getting Avast 5 installed and now it says that the mail shield and network shield are disabled, but it won’t let me enable them. When I try to start the mail shield, nothing happens. When I try to start the network shield, it says, “Unable to start the network shield! Shield unreachable.”
Any ideas as to how I can get these to work?
I’m running Windows 7 64-bit, if that helps.
I uninstalled and then reinstalled and it fixed the problem.
you have of course uninstall any virusprogram you had before you installed avast !!!
Try repair and reboot
For a repair of avast. Windows, Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button from the pop-up window, scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.
EDIT:case solved then… ;D
