haha, its a warning if someone gets a bum update like I did and how I fixed it myself.
I like avast, always served me well. Since my 10 minute problem my computer is running as fast as aways with the lastest Avast running..
I am informing the masses that if they get the same problem this is how I fixed it and get back to loving Avast as aways.Survey earnings total 2009 £417, 2010 £875, 2011 £5740 -
I've just switched the PC on this morning and it's unusable - I removed Avast in safe mode and it's sorted.
Re installed Avast again and it's the same problem back.
I'm running XP.
I think I'll look for an earlier version too.0 -
Some of the problems people are having are attributed to the Behavior Shield, maybe try installing the latest version without it? (Custom Install)-Scott-
