Since updating to this version, every time I boot up the web shields are tujrned off (alert).
Switching them on and all OK, but next reboot they are turned off again?
Any ideas please? AJ.
Repair Avast:
Control Panel> Program and Features (Add/remove program)>Select Avast> Select Repair. Reboot when completed
https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB204
If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
Clean Install of Avast:
https://goo.gl/4Ptzkf
I have tried both of those fixes and neither worked.
A total clean install of Avast Pro but "I am still vulnerable - some web shilels turned off"???
This after about 2 hours and many reboots!
So frustrating, is there any way I can go back to the previous version before the update?

I am running Windows 7 at the moment.
Since the update my shutdown takes about 4 minutes after logging out.
When I removed Avast Pro it took about 20 seconds???

I would say that an antivirus is quite an invasive thing, it goes deep into the system; plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong.
The more components of the A/V you install the worse it is.

On my two XP systems I did the minimal install web and file shield only and the A/V has been mostly unobtrusive, I'm hardly aware it's there.

 A/V vendors (not just avast) have made some terrible decisions in the past - avast NG.  What was all that about?  What a waste of time and effort.

Premier will not install on Windows 10, my system screwed up on the creator update, I had to roll back to before the update. now Avast stopped working. I had to manually uninstall it as nothing would work to uninstall. now I can't get it to reinstall. I just keeps just showing a black window with a slider bar going back and forth has been like that for over 10 hrs now. What's the deal. I have tried everything short of wiping and reinstalling Windows, something I don't want to do. Any suggestions on how to get this to install and work. I just renewed my subscription too.

Avast Clear does the exact same thing. looks Like I am going to be re-formatting my system. Thanks Windows 10 Creator BS and Avast for breaking.

Dear MartinZ,

Thank you for your efforts on regular posted the Avast offline Installer or Version History in Avast forum.
It is useful to us and save our time to avoid doing on-line installation while reinstalling.

However, I found most of users and Avast's fans ,including me, have many and many problems in using Avast programs when are released in 2017. Honestly, It is disappointed to us.

However, the Avast Evangelists in these forum, most of them seems did not accept there are problem of Avast SW ver17.  Just informed us try this and try that.  However, it is usefuless.

I want to fix the problem (caused PC slow down and near to freezing, CPU already full loading) immediately by downgraded to version 2016.  But, I have not keep older version. Since, there is my fault that I did not expect Avast SW with such serious problem.

One of the Evangelists replied me that find it by myself. And reply me stop to ask from others help for finding old version of Avast SW in the forum.  I would like to say if I can find out, I am no need to post and to ask help here. I did not very like his attribute indeed.

My suggestion is that could you please re-post  the version of  12.1.2272, 12.2.2276,  12.3.2279 of all series here ?
To me, I need Avast Pro and Avast IS offline-installer.

In your side at Avast, please study and recheck your ver 17 of Avast SW deeply. Fixed all know / feedback problems before re-launch again.

Thank you for your understanding and useful support.  Your prompt action would be highly appreciated.

I am waiting for your reply.

Remark: something said version 12.1 is better.

Upgraded to 17.4.2294 on two different pcs. On both I get occasionally black screens when opening web pages in tabs (Firefox). After a few times closing and opening the same page it works.

Has to be fixed at the earliest.

Your temporary black screens (especially if black on entire screen) could be related to your video driver(s) crashing and then restarting.  Not necessarily related to avast install.

Nope, only the webpage in the tab is black when problem occurs. Everything else works fine.

@ incog.2001,

Welcome to the forums.  Next step I'd try is rebooting two or  three times, each reboot about 12-15 minutes apart while connected to the Internet.  Second or third reboot should fix.

Every so often after the laptop has fully loaded I notice that the Avast system tray icon has an exclamation mark beside it, I check it and find that one of the shields had been disabled, I therefore enable it by taking that option.

Why is it disabling on its own as I've checked for malware and viruses etc and Avast finds nothing.

First you don't say what shield it is, so it is hard to comment.

I would hesitate to say it is disabling itself, more that it is failing to start, but with no information to go on, no one can say with any certainty.
