Grime -Fighter doesn't connect
« on: October 27, 2014, 05:20:58 PM »
I recently bougth for 2 computers Avast Internet Security and the Grime Fighter.
Antivirus intalled ok. 

Any time I try to run the application, since day 1 Grime Fighter , shows me this message:

It seems that you are offline

In order for the minions to work effectively, your computer needs to be connected to the internet.
Once you reconnect to the Internet, we can begin.


How come this message pops up  when I am already connected to the web 24/7  ?

It should work with a wired connection.
It could be the server had some problems.
Have you tried again?

Today I tried again to open Grimefighter with the same  result, tells me to connect to the internet.

What do you think about this issue since I am leaving this message to all of you to read it ?  Am I or not connected ? Just make a guess and tell me.

Hi redcentinela,

Sometimes GrimeFighter does not work with some network adapters and it appears this is the case here.  I have to unfortunately suggest you open a support ticket and ask for a refund in this case.

Please let me know if you have any issues with the refund and I will try to push it along

Regards,

davidek

Davidek,
just curious but could it be that if there are newer drivers for a card it will work or is it specific for certain chipsets or something?

Your Message Last October I bought Internet Security Antivirus and Grime Fighter for 2 computers.

Grime Fighter doesn't work at all. When I open this Grime Fighter program, it request me to connect to the internet. It is incredible this program request me to do that because I have 24/7 connected modem to the web.

How do you think I am leaving you this message. BECAUSE I AM CONNECTED TO THE WEB. and this Grime Fighter program request something absurd. It doesn't connect, period.

I hope you refund me the Grime Fighter purchase. This type of program of yours doesn't work in my case. By the way, I have my computer wired by ethernet, not by  WiFi.

Have a nice day.
