Hello
Vista Business
Service Pack 1
32 bit OS
Avast Free
12.3.2280(build 12.3.3154.23)
Couple days back I did a scan & clean, ran Malwarebytes then Avast then CCleaner. All good.
Then I restarted laptop as always after a clean and see that Avast has updated and added a bunch unwanted components.
No bother, I went through and checked and unchecked that which I wanted and that which I didn't.
Problem was, Web Shield would not turn on. Turns blue when clicked, but goes grey again after I navigate away from the component page then return to see if it has worked.
Resolve All icon is non-functional, does nothing.
I read a few threads here around this issue or similar and decided to uninstall then reinstall and used AvastClear.
The reinstalled version has the exact same problem.
I do have SuperAntiSpyware on my laptop but cannot get rid of it. Tried for years. Doesn't appear in Programs List, Revo can't find it, SAS uninstaller utility does nothing, nor do all other tips and tricks.
A registry scan with CCleaner shows a handful of Avast 5 and SuperAntiSpyware issues flagged up for fixing, howbeit, I have never actually cleaned the registry because I was warned off doing so when you don't know what you are doing.
Any help and advice on what I should do next?
Thank you
