avast blocked by group policy
« on: August 09, 2014, 05:13:47 PM »
I'm getting avast blocked by group policy on my home pc, Ive done some basic poking around but dont really understand how to go about getting rid of whatever is casuing this, its also blocked system restore which I got back by running registry editor and unlocking it, however it has removed all my prior restore points, I'm at a loss as to what to do next, any advice?

Just run FRST initially and I will use that to get Avast back up and running

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
 
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
 
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Select  additions at the bottom
  • Press Scan button.

  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from. 
  • Please attach both logs generated.

its scanning now, will post logs as soon as scans are complete, so far there are loads of detected items in the malware bytes, I guess this is what I get for letting my mother inlaw use this laptop, I swear she breaks everything she touches

should I stop this scan and just run FRST?

OK Adware city... I see you are running THREE antiviruses : Comodo, Avast and TrendMicro, two of these will need to go.  More is not better

CAUTION :  This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Yep Avast should now function

Also which two antiviruses are you going to remove ?

Now re-run MBAM and allow it to quarantine all it finds
