Unable to start Avast, blocked by group policy
« on: April 20, 2015, 11:51:33 AM »
Hi,
Not sure if I should have started a new thread or continued existing ones.
I am having the same problem as other people and although I'm normally pretty computer savvy I can't solve this one.
Having read other posts I attach the three files from FarBar.
Thanks in advance for your help
