Title: Installed Avast Premier, cannot connect via WiFi
Post by: REDACTED on March 10, 2017, 07:50:46 AM

I just purchased and installed Avast Premier, and now I cannot connect to anything via WiFi. I'm running Windows 10 on a lenovo X260.

Nothing I do seems to enable the wifi. My only recourse was to uninstall it. As soon as I rebooted, tons of WiFi networks.

Any ideas?

- Which version..?
- OS..? (32/64 Bit..? - which SP/Build..?)
- Other security related software installed..?
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast..?
