Hi All. 1st post here.
I agree Avast is a great product - have been using it for 2 years now. But I've got two problems I hope someone might help me with.
1) I am on our home computer as Administrator, running latest IE, Windows Vista. My wife and son have their own desktop user accounts - both as standard users (as opposed to Administrator). When I've on Youtube, Avast ad blocker works really well (all enabled). I get no banner advertiseing, nor any ads at the beginning of the video. Alas, not so with my wifes and sons accounts. Both get banner advertising and pre video adverts - all the time, without fail. Very annoying for them. Can anyone tell me why this is and what I can do about it ? Of course, they have the full Avast program enabled, just like I do - I've checked that that is so in their add ons, etc - all fully enabled, including ad blocker, yet they get heaps of ads as stated above.
2) I recently downloaded a little program (about 1.2mb) called AdwBlocker, from Xplode software. I found it worked really well - cleaned my computer of about 200 bits and pieces, cookies, bots, etc, that Avast nor CCleaner (another great program) had picked up. It removed them all. I was very impressed with it, put it on a flash drive and gave it to my friend to tun on his pc. Thing is, as soon as he clicked on it, Avast said it was some kind of malware and deleted it off the flash drive without running it. We've tried another three times - all unsuccesfully - Avast still treats it as malware and kills it off - even though we click the button down the bottom that say 'accept as safe' or something similar. Why does it do this ? It didn't do it at all on my computer.
I would really appreciate some help on these two points. Thanks.
