2 Avast on my PC?
« on: January 08, 2017, 04:29:39 PM »
Hi

I had to disable my avast free antivirus and now I have a message in Action Center: Turn on Avast Antivirus 2 times instead of one. Could it be that I have two avast programs installed on my pc at the same time? Earlier last year I had the full version on 60 days trial which I cancelled at some point at ended up unistalling the whole thing before reinstalling the clean free version. When I looked in Add/Remove programs, I can only see one Avast showing up.

I'm running Windows 7 SP1 64 bit with all updates.

Many thanks

Probably one warning is for antivirus and another is for antispyware.
