Avast Scan Frozen And Sheilds Automatically Turned Off!
« on: July 14, 2014, 08:10:43 PM »
So recently i had 175 rookkits on my computer (dont ask how) and they all 'Got cleared' from Avast. But now i tried to do a scan to check if all the virus's are off and it has been 'Scanning' the same file for nearly a day. I Cant stop the scan. if i restart my comp it automatically restarts the scan. Then my 3 Shields stopped working... i cant turn them back on either. i tried to repair the program. but there is no repair button in control panel. Only remove. And ive tried to update but it wont update either. What Do I Do?

HELP!

There is a repair option.
Control panel > software > avast > change/remove > choose repair

I Went Control Panel > Programs And Features > Avast And then there is only an Uninstall/Change Button which just brings me to an uninstallation. Look at the Gyazo's. http://gyazo.com/265910e39b3d4c5b2f82aa7ab14b7dce

Look closely to the second picture.
It very clearly says REPAIR at the left.

There is a reason why computers have a screen.
People should look at what it displays  ;)

After the repair, reboot and let us know how things are.
