So I installed the latest version of avast from scratch. (Via avastclear) and it seems that it fixed my web shield crashing issue, but now I have a new issue in where the AvastEmergencyUpdate file no longer works, I click on it to auto-create a scheduled task like I did in the previous versions but when I do, the process doesn't activate at all, as seen in my process monitor logs.
I can't create a scheduled task for it either, reinstalled it like 2-3 times now, not sure what's going on. :/ Emergency Update is an important part of receiving updates too, isn't it?
It seems a lot of components aren't working in this new version either, I have the rootkit scan option activated but on startup, it never scans. And there's a much lower memory usage, as if some things in the program are not starting.
In regards to the EmergencyUpdate problem... I can't get it to work at all, running the .exe from the avast folder does nothing, the process monitor shows no exe running in the HDD at all. I've never had this problem before and doing a fresh reinstall doesn't help, tried about 3 times now.
Can someone help? :/ I was hesitant to update as it is, and finally mustered the courage to do it today and have created more problems than I had before.
