Why is it often necessary for me to reactivate the Web Shield as soon as I switch on the PC?
Is it because the last time I used the PC I uploaded to my site using WS_FTP Pro ?
No, it shouldn’t be working this way…
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).
If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?
Sorry no luck, it still fails to activate the Web Shield sometimes on boot up .
However not to worry, for as in the past I suspect the 4 year old Hard Drive is failing and other programs do not always boot up sometimes.
sionet, why don’t you run chkdsk /R in your disk?
