"del" doesn't register (onscreen keyboard)
« on: June 03, 2016, 03:42:36 PM »
Hello

Ever since installing Avast! Free, when logging in in Windows 7 Professional with the onscreen keyboard (I'm a disabled person) "del" doesn't register.  "Ctrl" and "AltGr" register, "Del" doesn't.  So everytime I have to ask a colleague to press ctrl-alt-del on the real keyboard, quite annoying.  After they've pressed it I can enter my password with the onscreen keyboard.

Before we had Symantec Endpoint Protection and I didn't have issues logging in in Windows 7 Professional with the onscreen keyboard.  However the year had passed and soon we receive new computers, that's why I opted for Avast! Free for now.

Do you know how to fix this?

No with uninstall, did the same on another PC but installed a different free AV: no issues there.
