Antivirus-Firewall free. The program installation... My story.

[krdondon]

Window 10 Insider. home
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1415]

My story.
I install the program after window formatting.
First installation, you can install a free firewall.

Installation again after removing the program.
But the second installation. Free firewall programs cannot be installed.

Second installation, the free firewall program disappears from the installation option.


No matter how clean the removal program is...

Just once for the first time.I was able to install it.(Firewall free)

The rest of the programs are installed well.

I'm a Korean user in Seoul.
Like the image of url site.
There is no firewall option created.
(Second installation)

If I want to install it...
I have to format Windows 10 and install it for the first time.

Thank you for telling me my story.

Maybe you did not fully remove Avast after first installation.
You could completely remove using the Avast removal tool that can be downloaded here:
https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility#pc

Then Restart before doing a new clean install of Avast.

Unfortunately. I've done this before.
I've used the basic method, too.
Thank you for your answer.

Have you tried a Repair of Avast.

I haven't tried it.
Thank you. I'll try it next time.
I'm in Windows format right now. (Initial state, raw state)
I can't touch it because I'm afraid it'll break if I touch something. Currently, I'm afraid of deleting and reinstalling the program.
So I'll use it like this and test it again later.

Unless you do a custom instal, you're not going to get the firewall

That may well have been applicable to the beta build, but I don't see that as the case in the latest Avast Free 21.11.2500 (build 21.11.6809.528) release.

I just did an in-program update from 21.09.xxxx (I skipped 21.10.xxxx) and the free firewall wasn't downloaded or active.  Now obviously I wasn't doing a clean/first installation, but I thought the Firewall wouldn't be a forced install as users would obviously be using a firewall, be that the windows firewall or a 3rd party firewall.

I just did a clean install and the firewall is not checked by default.
So, unless you do a custom install and select it, it will not be there when the installation finishes.

That would be my impression (as I mentioned), so I can't see how someone would get the Firewall without choosing to install it.

Thank you for everyone's advice.
And I'll tell you my story.(Additional content.)

I can't easily install the avast program.
I am always installing it manually.

The reason is

If I install it automatically,
The installation of avast program cannot be completed.
(Nothing happens at the end of the program installation. The program stopped)

All programs stop after Windows 10 booting.

So I...

Always check and install all installations manually.

And then...

I re-select and install all of them in the program settings after installation.

My installation video.
(I am installing it with difficulty.
In my case, if I don't install it like this, the program won't be installed normally.)


But when I try to install a firewall program...
I had to manually check only firewall programs.

And as I told you earlier, the program was not installed.

But Windows 10... I booted it... Like a miracle, I succeeded in installing it.
(I only selected and installed firewall programs except for all of them)

Is it because I am a Korean user?

Or Windows 10 Insider. I'm guessing it's because of this.

I was the same without installing all programs.

This may help. https://youtu.be/IxozZFC9XRk

I watched YouTube that you gave me advice.
I set the same setting.


My YouTube video is the same.
Thank you.

[bob3160]

Have you tried doing a clean install to fix the problem with not being able to do an update?

[krdondon]

Thank you for your words.
good news
I solved it well.

I just finished formatting and tested.
I was automatically installed.(Success)  It's the first time.
Thank you.

(These are my Windows 10 installation options.
I always set it up and use it like this.)

Thank you for the long time of advice.
