I came home today from work and turned on my monitor. When it came on there was a window for avast that siad it needed to restart my computer. I was like ok, maybe it updated or something. So I let it restart. Computer boots up and after windows loads avast is the last to load and there is a red x over the icon…I click it and it had nothing there…So i was like wtf is up. Restarted and used Go Back to go back to 2 days ago. Well I figured i had something there so I started scaning, and it popped up that it needed to restart, i clicked no and its still running the scan…
Is this something i should be alarmed about or what should I do?
Only thing else i have is goback, and i used that to go bac 2 days ago. I started a scan and i got a virus database update and shortly after that it popped up with the restart thing i said no. The scan finished and found nothing. As of now avast is working fine, untill i restart then it probably wont… so should i go ahead and restard and update avast?
It shouldn’t harm your installation… there were not a program update last two days… it shouldn’t change anything.
Can you try to repair your installation?
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair). You must be connected to the internet while repairing.
If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?
