Avast Free Edition
« on: July 29, 2017, 11:21:00 AM »
hi there,

I installed for the first time Avast Free Edition.
Meenwhile:
1 - I was looking to see if is activated and is not. The activate options are grey and win 10 does not let me activate.

2- Avast is not starting up with Windows, what am i doing wrong?


Can someone help me please?

I uninstaled and installed it again.
Is working fine now.

Is this better then windows defender that worth the installation? (I know this is a avast forum but i would apreciate some opinions)

No security program have 100% detection or zero false positives
No security program are at top of these tests all the time, the world of malware is not static so when something changes in the world of malware then AV vendors may need to do changes
