Avast IS 7 Blocking network printer
« on: December 04, 2012, 10:09:57 AM »
Ever since i installed avast internet security on windows 8 laptop i have not been able to add a network printer through devices and printers.
I run a small business which relies heavily on the printer. Has anyone have any ideas as to how i fix this problem or should i just uninstall Avast and right of the cost as a bad joke.
This is not the first problem.  Windows 8 live tiles didn't work. Could not access windows store. could not email from invoice software and the list goes on.
