Shit, this is frustrating.
AVAST just updated itself to the so-called "2014"-version. Shortly thereafter, I had some trouble updating a couple of programs on my PC, with the well-founded suspicion that AVAST does it utmost to prevent it, as it usually does.
My regular solution is just to go in and disable those damn "Shields", only to find that in the GUI, there is no easily recognizable button with which to disable them, any more. Because we can't have
that, y'know.
So I've been looking through the God-damn GUI for ten straight minutes, now, trying to find some button that really should have been
immediately visible to begin with. It's especially infuriating to be greeted with the green, flashy text going "YOU ARE PROTECTED" with no immediate button nearby to make AVAST bloody
stop "protecting" me.
Please help. I'm getting increasingly violent, here.
