Title: Flash won't work when uninstalled avast
Post by: zhouzhaoxu on January 24, 2011, 10:18:25 PM

I had to uninstall and reinstall avast because I had a message that say "avast service stopped" and I look online and it say that I need to uninstall and reinstall.
after I finish my flash won't work on my internet or on my computer like google gadget.
I try to uninstall flash and reinstall but it did not work and also I check for manage add on for internet it is enable.
I don't know what else to do

Welcome to the forums, zhouzhaoxu   :)

You may not have had to uninstall/reinstall avast. The first thing to try when you have an avast functioning problem is a repair of avast. You do not say what OS you are using but the below is for XP. Other Windows OS will be similar.

To do a repair of avast :

Control panel  >  Add/remove programs  >  click once on avast to select it  >  click on Change/Remove  >  scroll down the left pane and click on repair  >  click OK  >  follow directions

You can try that now though I am not sure it will help ... but it will not hurt to try.

If you still have a problem after, please post in this thread again.
