Post by: attum on September 14, 2005, 01:30:37 PM

Hi, I have a BIG Problem XD!

In a few time, my windows XP security center have not detected my avast installed in the computer =/...
A Pop-up appears saying that no antiviruses is installed... But Avast is installed and working properly...
Any Suggestion to me? (Don't look at my English language, I'm Brazilian =D )...
Thanks for attention!

1) get the uninstall util from Avast's website
2) uninstall Avast through add/remove in the control panel
3) run the uninstall util
4) reboot
5) install Avast

If you have XP Pro, make sure you are logged in as administrator (not as user with admin rights) when installing Avast.

This should solve it.
