I just made the mistake of installing Avast Premium Security yesterday on home built desktop PC with Windows 10 Pro and that was a big mistake. How can I go back to the previous version?
These are the issues I have so far:
1. On the reboot after install it hung forever. It took several attempts of rebooting to get the machine going again.
2. Now, unless I keep pressing the F8 key numerous times during bootup, my MS USB keyboard will not function after bootup, is not shown in Control Panel devises, and cannot be found when search for, but the "on light is green" so it gets power, just not there. Even if I try all the USB plugs. But if I keep pressing the F8 key during startup then the keyboard works. Go figure that one!
3. I no longer can access my 3 remote analog security cams on DVR. They require the old browser IE and ActiveX to view on a PC. Yes, I went into Avast and checked IE Browser and all Cam related apps I could see listed as approved apps. ActiveX was not on the list to check though. Yes, I went into the browser security and rechecked the ActiveX items that mysteriously became unchecked. Yes, I stuck in the URL's of my cameras into Avast to allow those URL's, as well as in the browsers security settings as safe URL's too! Yes, I cleared the browser cache. No, the activeX software still will not open when I put in the URL's of my camera's into IE. I'm NOT HAPPY THAT I CANNOT MONITOR PROPERTY FROM MY PC NOW SINCE THE NEW AVAST ULTIMATE INSTALL!
4. I ran "sfc /scannow" and that did not fix anything. I haven't run all my software yet to find if other issues, but these issues are plenty annoying enough so far, and I would like to go back to previous version of Avast, as not so buggy. How do I do that???
5. I also hate this forum security Verification letters, they are way to blurred out to read, and the "Listen to the letters" does not indicate if caps or not! So, it takes multiple attempts to post anything!!!
