avast! not working anymore after last update
« on: April 30, 2006, 01:59:53 PM »
After I did the last program and definition update, a restart was requested which I didn´t at that time, but waited until the next time I started my notebook.

Situation is now:

avast! is not starting with Windows anymore and can´t be started manually, too, neither through desktop symbol nor through Windows services. The avast!-folder in Start/Programm has only missing symbols and the program doesn´t start there, too.

The Folder where avast! is installed (d:\avast!) doesn´t work anymore. When I´m clicking on it, I get the message "there´s no access possible on d:\avast!" (don´t know if that´s the exact translation because it´s a german sentence). Deinstallation / Re-Installation don´t work, too...

What is going on with my avast?

I'm assuming that you updated to 4.7.826 or earlier ?

Download the latest avast version, 4.7.827, save it to your Hard Disk. Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, find it here and save it also.

Try and uninstall using add remove programs, reboot, run the avast Uninstall Utility, reboot, install the latest version, reboot.
