Reboot and check if the problem is solved.
If not, try a repair of avast through control panel > software > avast > add/remove > choose repair > reboot
no luck. have tried but on fix/repair avast it doesnt load all the way ,rebooted 3 times

So now you are gonna damage your daughters computer ;D
Check if your license is still valid.
You may wish to get a new license (if you are using the free version) and try to enter that.
If your license is still valid try this:
- Download Avastclear, Rejzors uninstall tool and the appropriate Avast program edition
Note : You need to be ONLINE during the install (sometimes online installer works whereas offline doesn’t)

Avastclear : http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe
Rejzors Uninstall tool: http://rejzor.wordpress.com/avast-cleanup-tool/
- Uninstall Avast by control panel [If you don’t have Avast in control Panel go to #4]
- Uninstall in safe mode using Avastclear.
- Run Rejzors Uninstall Utility in Normal Mode (removes traces avastclear doesn’t) - reboot.
- Install the version you downloaded.
- Reboot.
Thanks for all the replies ,it’s OK now.I uninstalled via the link given , didnt clear registry though .Re booted & I’m fully protected again.It’s over 3hrs since I began this so ,again, thanks for all your help.

You’re welcome.
Having more trouble with crashing ,not loading ,is it possible that I’ve got a virus ?
(btwThis seems to be a ‘free’ forum but I did pay & I’ve still got awhile yet I think.)
I had a virus despite having Avast some months back.
Windows wont load ,catalyst control center stopped working ,oh heck think it needs computer hospital :0)
When it’s up & running as it is now ,it’s brilliant.
Just dont understand it,

Hi Cyndi, would you like me to take a look ?
yes please
We will take a quick look first
Download OTL to your Desktop

Hiya , thanks for trying but once I reboot it takes me an hour or more to get online.
Would a ‘performance’ virus do all this again?That was the virus removed last time ,I’ve been writing down every nasty that comes up ,
i.e.connectivity probs ,Catalyst control center stopped working, Windows stopped working & more .But as now it’s working perfectly ,but not for long I’m thinking.

btw ,hubby’s an ‘Essex boy’ from Southend
Ah I am an Essex boy from Romford
With the initial OTL scan there is no need for a reboot, it will scan and then produce a log for me to look at
I’ll try again ,but it does restart itself sometimes ,& it did once I’d loaded your link, so if I go ,sorry.
Cyndi.x.
No problem whenever you can
what now ?It’s finished scan.
Could you attach the log … Details on how to do that if you do not know are here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 about a third of the way down
Hi , on a different computer at the moment.
Other one got progressively worse. It’s in the shop & I’ve saved everything on it.
I should have it back Tues/Weds & I’ll let you know what was wrong with it .
Thanks for trying to help me,
Cyndi.x.
Sounds like a possible adware problem as they tend to eat up resources
I’m not having much luck with them lately. A previous one caught fire before Xmas ,very scary.
But thanks for your support ,& it’s interesting reading other probs/posts.
What age do the child forums start from btw?
