Bought Grime Fighter downloaded it. After doing it's thing, it said to reboot to go to windows. It didn't, it goes back to grime fighter and goes to sleep. Rebooted several times always goes straight to Grimme Fighter. Lets me go to the web. Can anyone help me. I had Windows 8. Went through Chrome.
My
frustration and anger is caused by Grimefighter acting on my Dell Inspirion 17 in the same way as it does for sugarbabe0054, except I can get to the Web by opening a new tab on the Grime Fighter screen, but it does not allow any actions such as reading one's email via an Outlook Web site. Grimefighter starts as soon as I turn on the laptop. Grimefighter starts sedating the computer then displays full screen: “Houston, abort shuttle launch. We can’t run Grimefighter on this computer.”
This screen then allows only two choices:
1. to click a button that takes me to another full screen, headed chrome://jumpshot/content/browse.html which only allows me to get back to the “Houston, abort shuttle launch. We can’t run Grimefighter on this computer” screen.
2. to click the close X in the corner and go to another full screen which only allows Reboot or Shutdown. Reboot gets me back to the original choice of Grimefighter or Windows.
If I reboot, Grimefighter starts immediately to sedate the laptop. My laptop is password protected, and I can never get to the password screen that unlocks Windows 8.
After using a public PC at the library on campus to find the AVAST phone number, I phoned AVAST support at 1-966-951-7679. An ESL speaker said it was a "misconfiguration" problem and that I would have to buy extended AVAST support for $170+. I asked to speak to his supervisor. He promised a phone reply within 24-48 hours. Still waiting.
