Avast Service being stopped by Avast? This has happened only over last couple of days, i had 4.8 and the service stopped - wont fix, or restart the program and states the end points are missing from the endpoint mapper. I uninstalled 4.8 and when i rebooted my lappy said it had recovered from a serious error. I then installed 5.0 and it appeared to be sweet. It has only been on the laptop for 2 days and the same error has occurred in this version. Avast is non responsive and tells me the service has stopped and I must restart it as the system is unprotected - which it refuses to do and now sits with an X over the icon. When I click to run virus scan, or real time scans etc.. it says Avast is in an inconsistent state - how do I make it consistent?
All 7 of the shields are also unreachable
Interestingly when I bring the about Avast box up it says the version and files are unknown and again the endpoints cant be found?
I havent got anyother issues with the PC - only this and only in last couple of days.
Please can you help?
