Recently I have had some problems with Avast which seems a bit strange.
Yesterday an add-on to an EA Sports game which I've been using for years suddenly stopped working (the application, not the whole game). I have described that in another post yesterday. I found out that Avast was "guilty" to the problem but after some hours of frustration, I found no other way to solve the problem than to do a System Restore.
Which worked fine and after that I had the opportunity to click "yes" for Avast to let me run the application.
But after that, Google Chrome stopped functioning so I had to re-install it. Even worse was that another program which I use for maintaining sports tables also stopped working. It just didn't start when I tried to start it and that's a problem because I need it for some work I'm doing.
So I restored the settings with System Restore back to what it was before my first System restore and then the sports table application worked fine. But now the first problem with the game application appeared again!
Then I de-activated the Avast self-defence temporarily and then all programs worked as they should.
Next step was to uninstall and then re-install Avast which worked fine and after that all applications work fine again, as they have done the recent years.
However, I noticed that the Avast Safe Browser has disappeared. Has it been deleted from the program and what should I do now when I log in to a bank account or so?
There's also something weird with the Avast Wi-Fi control. A week ago when I was doing a Smart Scan, the program noticed that I had a "weak password" for my TP-Link router, something which I obviously had. So I changed the password to something more advanced.
However, Avast still informs me that I have a weak password, in fact it reacts as if I still had the old password despite the fact that I changed the password three times yesterday in order to solve the problem.
Have anyone else had similar problems and what can be done?
