Until yesterday my Avast Password control (part of Avast Premium Security) worked just fine, until after my computer booted in the morning, when I clicked on one of the website tabs. Instead of going to the website, an Avast screen showed the website name, link address, user/sign-in name, but not the password. The box showed only dots, but not the written password. I called the Avast Care people who took control (remote) of my computer. After several attempts to fix the problem, they transferred the problem to "higher" levels. Now, Avast says I must use a special uninstall method to remove all four of my Avast Premium programs including "stray" files, then reinstall the whole mess. Since I'm paying for Avast Care, I have now asked them to do this rather complicated process themselves, using the remote control option.
We'll now see what they say.
