Please help me, ive just installed avast and everything but a message is popping up from security center saying:'' you have no antivirus program ''
i have vista btw
please someone help me!!!!!
-
Which antivirus did you have before avast? How did you uninstall it?
-
I had avast 4
now avast 5
-
And yeah, i never ''uninstalled it ''
i just downloaded avast 5 and the avast 4 got removed automaticlly
-
I suggest an installation from scratch:
1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-uninstall-utility.html) and save it.
2. Download the latest avast! (http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html) version and save it.
3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you've run it.
5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
7. Check and post the results.

well the thing is that it is cracked from TPB...
:[
-
Crack that can be a rootkit then... Not sure but if you got a cracked avast! you got alot possibility...
I recommand you to dont use any cracks also for an anti virus cyber criminals mostly (if im not wrong) hit this for trap the peoples.
Mr.Agent
-
Don't use cracks then. ;)
There's a free version for a reason...
-
well the thing is that it is cracked from TPB...
:[
So you get a cracked version of avast! from wherever, and then want help when it doesn't work?
It is not my place to judge/comment...so all I will say is that there is little chance of help in that situation...
Anyway, the initial answer is simple, get the free version directly from avast! - It has most of the features of the paid versions anyway...

fuck it, im feeling like an asshole asking for help when i've cracked it, im buying it now, if i get this problem again ill ask :)
thanks for the feedbacks, :)
-
You sound strange now... You said you just cracked it and want to buy it.... Anyone that understand ?
I dont got something else to say...
Mr.Agent
-
well in the read me file it said i cant update the program or ill be busted or something, whats the point of having it??
-
So now you just resolved your self the problem. I think now if the user was intelligent he did put a virus in the installer so maybe a malwarebytes scan and maybe uninstall the current avast! crack you did with windows uninstall and the remove tools also install the 30 days of the suite if you buy it otherwise the free version will help...
-
Plzzhelp, why are you asking for help if you're using a cracked version? Forget about me.
-
Well Tech wonder why the creator did said to dont update his product ? Because he know that later his virus will get detected ! ::) How epic !
-
i don't think that,, i took the one with most downloads and seeds,and in the comment it wasn't anyone complaining,
stop scaring me, im getting paranoid :/
and yeah, i could update virusdefinitions
-
i took the one with most downloads and seeds
Worse... The most spread malware...
-
Well if you are paranoid and know that avast! offer you a free product instead you get a cracked one why dont you did get the free then ?
We dont force u to buy the suite but at least they try to protect u and you get a cracked product that dont help...
-
when a torrent is up u cant just change it :S
if someone would put a virus he would reupload it with the virus....
-
i took the one with most downloads and seeds
Worse... The most spread malware...
+1, Funniest topic ever.
Why in he=l would someone download a cracked antivirus?
@Mr.Agent
+1
;D
@Plzzhelp
I don't think that's the case if he/she is a spammed user with a spammed download that got hosted on spamming sites.
-
well the free one is not IS
i wanted full protection..
-
Well, if you wanted full protection, you could of SUPPORTED YOUR ANTIVIRUS and buy it. ::)
-
avast! offer more feature than any others free products for anti virus so what the sense on this... ::)
-
uhmm...
if i get virus, which i wont, i could always format it
-
Well formating good luck its boring and i dont think you will do this every time you get a virus.
That become epic.
What u think that business put free products ? For fun ? No. Certainly no ! They put this for avoid people to get trapped by those cyber criminals that put viruses on the cracked anti viruses...
Mr.Agent
-
Avast! Free still terminates downloads that contain viruses in their temp files...
IS just searches the site for bad coding such as Javascript, and Iframes.
@PlzzHelp
Some antiviruses' free edition DON'T support compressed files which is another reason Avast! is awesome.
@Mr.Agent
Lol, epicness of antiviruses.
-
well i had the cracked version for a long long time b4 and i didnt get a virus or anything.. hmm how come?
-
and i can run in catbox and everyhing like the real version, this crack is not bullshit,
-
IS does got (Firewall, Script block, Antispam, Site blocker, Sandbox and mores...)
But compare the Free products anti viruses avast! does offer mores than any business.
Also how u know that you dont got viruses ? You know that viruses can be hidden ?
-
well in what way could they harm me if i can't see any diffrences?
-
You cant imagine you in many ways. You arent alone in the internet you know ?
-
well that was a wierd feedback..
-
You could have hidden viruses in the expectations file. The viruses could be allowed by the firewall and sandbox.
The virus can steal your password information, bank account, and more...
-
IM LEAVING, PEACE OUT!!
and yeah sorry for argumenting..
-
Its not joke its something that i did seen before.
-
did u read what i wrote?
well in what way could they harm me if i can't see any DIFFRENCES?
IVE PAYED BILLS 10000 TIMES ON THE INTERNET..
-
We're serious. If you wanted Avast! so bad, you could of just payed for it.
-
Even if you paid 10000000000000000 times on the internet you know that they wont tell u that they know your passwords how fail that can be if he do.
-
The Art Of Spyware.
-
Also to do banking online and to trust on a cracked anti virus or suite.... Hmmmm.....
This become very complicating... :o
-
Aren't you losing time with a cracker?
When we buy avast he can come back :)
-
True Tech im leaving this thread. ;)
But i hope he understand that avast! offer a free service so he should have use it before use a crack its would be more safe. Also he would know where its from the setup.
-
Why'd he download a crack instead of buying it in the first place?
@Mr.Agent
Ok, bye, I don't want your replies anymore. ;D

Edited
PS : Sames for keygens or license key. He should have said in his brain "There a free product that offer alots features so why should i do this ?". Before to use one or activate it.

True. Tech, I'm leaving this thread. ;)
But I hope he/she understand that Avast! offers a free service. so He/She should have use it before he/she used a crack. It would have been more safe. Plus he would know where it is from the setup.
Fix'd for the fun of it. :)
