Avast won't open, but.....
« on: October 01, 2016, 09:22:02 AM »
I went into the system and clicked REPAIR, but it has been at it for more than 2 hours. What can I do?

Thank you. I was wondering what a clean install was. lol  I will have to try that, because I turned off my computer. And when I booted her back up, I tried to run Avast. But where quick scan should be it's nothing but question marks. Like ?????

I will update you guys after clean install.
