Whats Going ON???

I have got AVAST! free antivirus latest version (I think) and whenever i boot up AVAST doesn’t come up in the lower right hand corner. Is there a bug or something wrong with it? I have Windows XP SP3 with all but 2 updates because they won’t install. Could someone help me?

try avast 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.

OBS: have you just installed avast ?..did you uninstall your previous used AV before installing avast ?

I had AVAST 4 Home from 2009 and then installed avast! 6 when it kept bugging me to

It may be best to do a clean install of avast 6.

  • Download the latest version of avast, 6.0.1367 http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free.exe and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again (if you didn’t save your last download). Use that when you reinstall.

  • Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for both 4.8 and 6.0.x).

    1. Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for avast 4.8 and then for 6.0, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.
