Good day everybody,
I was a happy licensed user of Avast Pro with a small but useful Homegroup with my wife's Laptop. Until I accepted the upgrade to Avast Internet Security offered as a routine way of updating the program.
To my surprise the laptops ceased to see each other in the local network and hence the Homegroup didn't work anymore.
At first I thought that this was done by a hacker disguise as Avast that made me swallow a poison that annihilated my laptops. But further visit to Avast made me know that really was a "innocent" upgrade of the program, maybe not realizing the consequences to the users.
Both laptops have Windows 7 (Home Premium service Pack 1) and now both have Avast Internet Security.
We have a wireless router Linksys WRT160N v2 that continue to give us access to the Internet without further restrictions.
This is something new, so I suspect that it will arise many inquires once customers upgrade the program.
So, any idea of how can I solve this problem. Obviously we like to share information through the local area network, and we really miss it.
I have tried pinging (no answer to address or not found to names).
I will appreciate if someone lead me to a solution.
