I just downloaded the "new updated" version of Avast Free this evening, and now none of the shortcuts I had on my desktop work. I tried uninstalling Avast, re-installing it, deleting shortcuts, creating new shortcuts, but they still don't work.
When I click on the desktop shortcut, I get this message: "Unable to open this Internet Shortcut. The protocol "http" does not have a registered program."
Any idea what has happened and how to fix it? These shortcuts (Intellicast, Amazaon, etc.) worked earlier today, prior to downloading the updated free version.
Also having issues with limited internet connectivity, but the computer that does not have the updated version is fine. Scan has been run and no issues.
