System Restore & Avast Shields unreachable

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I had to do a system restore as a Windows Security update was messing around with some programs that i use,

On rebooting Avast isn’t working properly.
none of the Shield has started,

Is the only cure for this is to un-install avast and re-isntall it,
I have tried the repair option but that didnt work.

This problem should be fixed in the latest program update (but of course, if you restore the system even before that, the problem will stilll be there).

In this situation, I suggest an installation from scratch:

  1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
  2. Download the latest avast! version and save it.
  3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
  4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you’ve run it.
  5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
  6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
  7. Check and post the results.
