Avast floundering

Walker,
Thank you. I found the REPAIR function.  It was as you said....olne step further.  I guess the other posts were one step short. hahaha

  Glad you found it  

Exactly what does the REPAIR function do?  What files are checked?

That I will leave to the adventurous to find out   Sorry Techie, I haven't tried it  

Would be nice to know.
Comments appreciated.

Would be nice to know.  I never knew such a function existed with Avast.  I don't think that it has ever been mentioned on the forum

I suppose the Repair function compares the presence (or not) and the version of the installed files with the same options (which residents, languages and so on) of the installation. I mean, it works as MSOffice (for instance) Repair function. If the version file is newer, nothing is done (of course, the file remains there and were not rolled back).

I think you may read more foruns... (joke)   This was discussed in other ones, at Wishlist for instance, I suggested to turn the default feature at Windows Installer to Repair and not Uninstall. avast! team prefer to make Change option the default one...

Anyway, living and learning.

Technical is almost right. Setup checks if the files are _exactly same_ as expected, rewrites nonconforming ones and resets all registry values (it shouldn't change your settings though).

Oh my God! I forget the Registry... Thanks kubejc.
