I got this message the first time I ran GrimeFighter. What does it mean?
-
Check system requirements before running GrimeFighter. :)
Curious, What OS are you running?
GrimeFighter doesn't work on W.8 or 8.1
-
I've the same problem. The OS is Windows 7 x64 English.
Looks like it's a waste of time & money. Even more, support never have answered as well as money back team.
I would never ever advice to anybody use GrimeFighter!!! What's a Piece of crap.

Hello,
I have the same problem on 1 PC (Windows 7): the reason is because RAID is not supported, but this is not written on system requirement at all. :(
On my second PC: was no error message, but the Windows boot time was absolutely horrible after the GrimeFighter "optimization" (more than 10 minutes!). Hopefully, I was able to undo all changes, but definitively I will no more use this software. :o
Then I asked to get my money back, but my warranty period will finish in a few without any answer to my ticket about this...
Like a lot of person on this forum experienced, all tickets go directly to trash. >:(
I lost all my trust with Avast now.
-
Tickets don't go to the trash, they will be handled.
You just have to be patience.
It can take 10 days.
-
Hi Valery,
If you post your ticket number here I will follow up with our refund team to make sure it is handled.
-
send a email to avast or call them
it shuld work with any os after xp
if it does not they shuld make it work
or give u a refund
-
If you have bought GrimeFighter and are using windows 8, it will not work.
It is clearly stated in the system requirements.
That means avast don't have to give you a refund.
If they still do it, it is called coulance (leniency) which is a very nice thing from avast.
-
they shuld !fix the problom
or refund your money
-
gisaacs333,
The are constantly working on fixing things and they do refund if you are entitled too.
Sometimes they even give a refund if someone is not entitled to get it.
Valery3,
you still haven't provided your ticket number.
If you don't, there is nothing davidek can do for you.
Don't worry about the 30 day period.
It seems to me that you created the ticket within the 30 days.
That means the problem will be solved or you will get the refund.
-
ok
i get it
-
Does anyone know if the fact that Grimefighter won't work with a RAID configuration is being looked at/worked on, or indeed resolved yet?
-
Hi, I sent a forum message recently and was asked to review a message on GRIME FIGHTER to see why mine would not work. I read the reviews I was asked to look at and again tried to run it again this morning and it said "HQ,ABORT THIS MISSION, ERROR IN SEDATING GET IN CONTACT WITH SUPPORT HTTP://SUPPORT.AVAST.COM" and here is where I end up.
Therefore I now wish to CANCEL the GRIME FIGHTER PROGRAM and have AVAST TRANSFER my $aus64.99 to the PREMIER AVAST VIRUS PROTECTION.
Thank you

Hi.
I don't believe it works the way you are suggesting.
Your alternative is to submit a Ticket for a Refund here and give all details of your situation :http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php (http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php)
and then you are free to purchase Avast Premier. :)

Mr Sampson,
Please do open a support ticket for a refund of GrimeFighter, in trying to sedate your PC we recognized something in your registry that caused this message. It basically means that we are erring on the side of caution and not running the app. Early next year we will be adding a function to read the registry before purchase so users don't end up with this frustration as you have faced.
Once you have opened a support ticket please post it here and I will follow up to make sure it is handled asap.
Thank you

I still have not received any response to my request to transfer me from Grime Fighter to PREMIER which I sent on 31 st OCT. Your response would be appreciated. henros1.

Read Post #13 :)

Why are you not able to work with me when I asked politely to transfer a NON WORKING program purchased in GOOD FAITH from AVAST to PREMIER AVAST PROTECTION for the SAME amount of money. I would appreciate your cooperation on this issue. henros1

1]
Henros, refund can take 10 business days (2 weeks).
You really should learn how to have patience.
2]
You can't get a refund for a product and at the same time getting another product for the money you paid.
-
So what should I do if I got the sorry, we cant work with you? ask for refund or wait? I got it today, and after a couple of hours show me that message..... I have high expectations with this company....
-
Hi davidber,
Unfortunately I suggest you to open a support ticket and ask for a refund. The message you received is one we display when we check the registry on your PC. In some cases, GrimeFighter determines that it should not run to avoid any potential issues with the registry.
We are going to be adding a feature in the early 2015 that will make this check on the PC before offering GrimeFighter for purchase. That way we will avoid the situation you encountered where you received this error message post-purchase.
Very sorry this has happened and post back here if you have any issues with the refund.
Thanks,
davidek
