Title: Smart scan taking much longer after premier trial.
Post by: REDACTED on March 05, 2017, 03:11:40 PM
So I installed avast free, then decided to try out the trial version of avast premier. I removed avast free with the specialize software, restarted, and then installed premier. However, it just froze after trying to fix found issues (The scan took about 2 minutes), so restarted the computer and suddenly I was not able to access the menu of avast. The processed would be running, but everytime I clicked the avast icon in the hidden icons menu, it would disappear, and starting it again didn't help. So again I unistalled using the same process as before, and decided to just stick with avast free. But now, the smart scan is taking forever. It's been over 20 minutes and it' not even on 50%. Which I have no clue why, as before it would finish in around 2 minutes.
