Avast keep asking me to restart my PC
« on: October 06, 2005, 11:30:33 PM »
I noticed since last week Avast keep asking me that it need to restart the PC to finish updating itself.. The thing is he’s asking this everyday, sometimes more than once!!

I know that Avast need restarting if the PROGRAM itself been updated but this is wearied…. I can’t enjoy my Online games cuz Avast keep popping up some stuff even though I choose not to display a popup when I’m in the Full Screen mode!!

I don’t know what’s wrong, I thought it could be a viruse or somthing so I scanned it using Avast, Antiver, and SpySweeper the result was nothing on my PC ..( i know it's wrong to have more than one antiviruse that's why i disabeld the on-accsess scan on Antivire cuz i'm keeping hem as a backup)

On more thing, my Firewall (kaspeskay) keep telling me that there has been some changes in Avast files and wither I grant it to connect to the net or not? Of course I choose YES cuz I know this is normal when the antivirus is updated but it’s very annoying if my firewall keep asking me this almost every time I restart my pc, some times after 15-20Min from saying yes kaspeskay ask me the same Q again and again and again and again !<< annoying ha  ;D

I’m tired of Avast corrupting me while I’m using my PC, I’m using Avast for almost 3 years and this is the 1st Major problem I faced with it,,,,
Pleas help me to fix the problem..

It has just started to do the same for the last 3 VPS updates for me as well I have chosen to say now until I reboot normally.

The VPS shouldn't require a reboot only the program updates.

Edit: Note I have just done an avast repair and that concluded with the restart to complete.
